BITCOIN ATOM - Forks Of Blockchain Bitcoin

Januari 24, 2018

Bitcoin Atom discusses issues that are currently gripped by the world's most famous Blockchain. Of course it is Bitcoin. Bitcoin has since emerged from the scene, revolutionized, for having removed the mediators from the whole story, the fact that instant and inexpensive transactions have taken place, and the inability to resist the currency. All of this inspires the expansion we see today.

Bitcoin Atom (BCA) presents a completely decentralized way to exchange digital assets - with the exchange of chain atoms on board. By using its built-in hash time-locked contract (HTLCs) and its own HTLC API, Bitcoin Atom tries to interfere with the way we exchange current cryptocurrencies, providing freedom from intermediaries and centralized entities.

We believe that most cryptocurrency trades should be done on a chain in a decentralized way, in accordance with the original Bitcoin approach to transact in a totally unbelieving environment.

Atomic Swaps (AS), which is currently implemented through an on-chain HTLC network and potentially via an off-chain Lightning (LN) network, brings the ability to exchange assets directly between blockchains without the intermediaries involved. This capability is called the cross-linking of atoms, and we propose Bitcoin Atom support for it at its core, by bringing the US API and a set of cross-trade utilities to the original Bitcoin core software and shipping it to BCA.

Trading on centralized exchanges is a popular topic among members of the cryptocurrency community, especially with the increasing volume of trading and crypto prices led by Bitcoin. However, discussions can often revolve around the issues facing exchange users, due to the number and complexity of the steps involved, and the various issues that can arise.

Typical trading processes on third-party exchanges include the following steps:

1. registration

2. verification

3. verification process

4. deposit your exchange account

5. make a reservation

6. make a withdrawal

7. the withdrawal process

8. receive coins

All of these steps can take a lot of time, usually from 3 to 5 business days, depending on the exchange provider.

Now let's take a closer look at what the crypto exchange process is going through Atomic Swaps:

1. Place your order inside your knot

2. accept your Kripto Distractions

You can easily open your BITCOIN ATOM node and immediately place a sell / buy order without any hassles or intermediaries.

Key Benefits of Atomic Swap Above Centralized Stocks

Better Trade
REMOVING delays (caused by missing deposit / withdrawals, server downtime, etc.)
RETENTION your private key, preventing the possibility of losing your coins (ie Mount Gox).
MINIMIZE potential security breach.
Keep your personal identity (without any verification process).
DECENTRALIZE entire trading process so it is really peer-to-peer.
REDUCE trading costs to a minimum.

Bonus for Bitcoin Holders

All Bitcoin holders who have their private key at the time of fork (block TBA number) will receive Bitcoin Atom for 1 BTC = 1 BCA. You need to control your Bitcoin private key to claim and transact Bitcoin Atom.

Bitcoin Atom is a fork of blockchain Bitcoin with a major protocol upgrade that will occur in mid-December (block number TBA). On a predetermined block number, the original BTC block will be attached to the BCA, and any transactions made since then will be completely separate on the Bitcoin and Bitcoin Atom networks. At that time, Bitcoin Atom will live on the mainnet and become a fully functional crypto.

Bitcoin Atom (BCA) uses the same hashing algorithm as Bitcoin (BTC), so basic mining details are the same, as far as requirements are concerned. The full node software (both compiled binaries and sources) will be published shortly after the fork at block number 505888. This will be announced separately in all BCA channels. Once this happens, miners will be able to start working on the new Bitcoin Atom chain.

The Bitcoin Atom team is pleased to announce that the Multipools mining pool has confirmed that it will list Bitcoin Atom (“BCA”), which will fork on January 25, 2018 at block number 505888.

Bitcoin Atom Features

Hybrid Consensus

BCA network is additionally secured by utilizing the so-called hybrid consensus: both PoW and PoS models are put in place, increasing network stability and reducing the power of miners, hence lowering the 51% attack probability.

Lightning Network Swaps

Bitcoin Atom development team is working on the LN implementation, allowing for instant off-chain atomic swaps. LN transactions are cheaper, more useful for smaller transactions and have better privacy properties.

Atomic Swap Powered

By using built-in hash time-locked contracts (HTLCs) and its own HTLC API, Bitcoin Atom attempts to disrupt the way we exchange cryptocurrencies today, giving independence from intermediaries and any centralized entities.

Atomic Swaps (AS), currently implemented via HTLCs on-chain and potentially via Lightning Network (LN) off-chain, bring an ability to swap assets directly between blockchains without any intermediaries involved. This ability is called atomic cross-chain trading, and we propose the Bitcoin Atom’s support for it at its core, by bringing AS API and a set of cross-chain trading utilities into the original Bitcoin core software and forking it into BCA.
