Bitcoin Diamond is a hard fork of Bitcoin, at a block height 495866, comes with a few enhancements to the Bitcoin Protocol. It was introduced to improvise the transaction period, the transaction fees and to encourage more users to participate. Bitcoin Diamond miners will begin creating blocks with a new proof-of-work algorithm, and will consecutively develop and enhance the protection of account transfer and privacy based on original features of BTC.
Bitcoin which is the largest cryptocurrency has become difficult to use due to its growing market, and it’s not affordable for all types of customers. Bitcoin Diamond was introduced to overcome this shortcoming of Bitcoin. BTC and BCD are blockchain based networks, where users can store and transfer information. The difference lies in the block size where BCD network processes more information per minute compared to BTC. Also, there is a huge supply of BCD coins – up to 210 million, which ensures that the price of each coin is maintained at a level that is affordable for all users. BCD’s mining process is also easier when compared to BTC. Whilst BTC requires ASIC mining which is a huge and expensive process; BCD can be mined using GPU which allows more users to get involved in supporting the network.
