What is Bitcore?
Bitcore (BTX) is a new cryptocurrency born out of the SegWit versus Blockchain Unlimited debate offering a radical approach:
It combines the base ideas of both sides, implementing 20 MB blocks with SegWit already activated.
On top of that other new techs are already implented like Bloom and a ASIC-resistant mining algorithm.
It was released and is currently worked on by the talented devoloppers of Bitsend.
NOW THE BEST THING ABOUT IT:
If you are a holder of Bitcoin, you can claim your BTX for free, 1:1 according to your BTC holdings!
The idea is that BTX has basically the same specifications as BTC, meaning 16M coins in current circulation, 21M maximum in about 100 years, 10 minute block times BUT offering some great tech advantages while maintaining low transaction fees.
If you had bitcoin in your wallet at the time of the genesis-snapshot at Bitcoin block 463619 (minted : 2017-04-26 17:10:01), then you can claim your BTX via the official site: https://bitcore.cc/
