Bitcoin Private Snapshot and Fork Dates Set

Bitcoin Private (BTCP) has just announced the dates for their snapshot and co-fork of Bitcoin (BTC) and ZClassic (ZCL).

On February 28, 2018, a snapshot of all existing BTC and ZCL holdings will take place. If you own either or both of these cryptocurrencies and control your private keys when the snapshot takes place, you will receive an equivalent quantity of BTCP for free. For example, if you have 3 ZClassic and 1.5 Bitcoin, you will get 4.5 Bitcoin Private.

The actual creation of Bitcoin Private through the hard fork will occur two days later, on March 2, 2018.

The BTCP project is well-backed, with a team of  70 plus, including more than 20 developers. It's certainly one to watch, in my opinion.

You can read more about BTCP in the article, Bitcoin Private to Launch from Bitcoin and ZClassic. The official Bitcoin Private website is btcprivate.org and you can follow them on Twitter @bitcoinprivate.
