Will you support upcoming Bitcoin forks?

We are carefully evaluating any potential Bitcoin fork. To keep your current cryptocurrency holdings safe, we subject supporting Bitcoin forks to several conditions that must be fulfilled before we start working on implementing support. 

Our conditions are as follows.

(1) The forked currency must be open-source, to be verifiably safe to use alongside other currencies. 

(2) The Bitcoin fork must have a strong, two-way replay protection. Without replay protection, you could lose your bitcoins when trying to use the fork. 

(3) The blockchain of the fork must be online, active and running. This requirement effectively means that miners are working to keep the blockchain alive and that the blocks are found at a regular period. 

(4) The forked coin must be backed by a development team, which regularly updates the codebase. Without this assurance, the fork might just be a quick-to-get-rich scheme, at the expense of investors into the coin.

(5) The cryptocurrency must be supported by reputable services, such as exchanges or wallets. No-name or previously unknown exchanges are not considered as reputable. 

If the Bitcoin fork gains enough attention from our side and fulfills all the mentioned requirements, this information will be publicly announced on our blog.
