The mainnet of Bitcoin Candy - the new fork of Bitcoin Cash planned to launch soon

28 January 2018 21:00, UTC

The mainnet of Bitcoin Candy, a new altcoin abbreviated as CDY forking from Bitcoin Cash, is planned to launch at the end of this month, tell the developers on their roadmap. As most forks or variations are focused on something particular, this new cryptocurrency will be focused on the theme of quantum computers - and, more importantly, how to withstand a hacker with this weapon of mass blockchain destruction.

The threat of quantum computers for modern blockchains has been independently confirmed by Vitalik Buterin, creator of Ethereum, and one of the universities in Australia. While the mainnet of the altcoin is planned to launch in the following days (the end of January 2018 is already here), the anti-quantum attack algorithm will be launched only in July this year.

Developers of the altcoin are listed on the website, and here’s where the suspicious nature of the project unfolds: Bitnewstoday has tried to find the works of Niu Liu and other several “doctors of cryptography” on a prominent Academia.edu website and on Google - nothing except other news regarding this project. There are no photos as well as social media accounts. One has every reason to expect a scam, then.
