Well, the correct word is "hard" fork. Bitcoin gold is another hard fork of Bitcoin which survived.
Though there are several software forks based on bitcoin client implementation like Bitcoin XT and Bitcoin Unlimited.
- philipodonnell 9y agoAre you aware of anywhere that keeps data like that as a reference? CoinMarketCap groups into coins and tokens, but not into soft/hard forks of which codebases. Although I suppose at a certain point you'd get into the argument about how many changes are required to make it a new codebase even though it originally forked... but a question for another time perhaps.
- thisisit 9y agoThere is a limited list on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bitcoin_forks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bitcoin_forks Most forks which have no value are quickly forgotten so this might be a reliable list.
