Bitcoin Atom (BCA) -Bitcoin Atom Overview

Bitcoin Atom Overview

Introducing to you Bitcoin Atom (BCA) — don’t be confuse, this is bitcoin evolved with atomic swaps and lightning network.

Bitcoin Atom (BCA) is a SegWit enabled Bitcoin fork with on-chain atomic swaps on board and hybrid consensus. Bitcoin Atom enables truly decentralized digital asset exchange by utilizing hash time-locked contracts (HTLCs) and its own HTLC API, giving independence from intermediaries and any centralized entities.

Bitcoin Atom’s development team is working on a special embedded toolkit for both on-chain and off-chain atomic swaps, allowing for exchanging any cryptocurrencies in a hassle-free way across different blockchains. Lightning Network off-chain swaps scheduled to be launched in 2018.

Bitcoin Atom is a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain with major protocol upgrades that will occur in January (block number TBA). At the predetermined block number the original BTC blockchain will be forked into BCA, and any transactions made since then will be completely separate on Bitcoin and Bitcoin Atom networks. At that moment, Bitcoin Atom will go live on mainnet and become a fully functional cryptocurrency.

FEATURES OF BITCOIN ATOM:

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.

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.

We believe that most cryptocurrency trades should be conducted on-chain in a decentralized way, as per the original Bitcoin’s approach to transacting in a completely trustless environment.

Atomic Swaps (AS), currently implemented via HTLCs on-chain and potentially via Lightning Network (LN) off-chain, brings 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.

Bitcoin Atomic launched her project Bounty awareness campaign on11th Dec. 2017 and it is expected to end on 30th of Jan. 2018. This bounty campaign is aimed at helping Bitcoin Atom build a strong community.

The Bitcoin Atom (BCA) fork is taking place at block #505888 on January 25, 2018.

Advantages of Atomic swap Above Centralized Stock

· 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).

Why you should be a 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.
