Bitcoin Parallel (BCP)BCP

From the Bitcoin Takeover Wiki · ✓ 4 sources · 0 podcast anchors · built 2026-11-13

Not a Bitcoin chain split: a new chain that credited BTC holders who claimed. Kept off the lineage map.

A CryptoNight two-token project (BCP and BCPC) claimable by BTC holders at block 507,000, with a claim rate that shrank over time.

◆ Takeover vieweditorial · opinion, labelled

The wiki's angle: Bitcoin Parallel paid less the later a holder claimed, and handed unclaimed coins to its own foundation.[1]

Claim

A Medium post signed by the Bitcoin Parallel Foundation on 12 February 2018 says “BTC holders at block height 507,000 can claim your BCP and BCPC now”[1]. Block 507,000 was mined on 31 January 2018[2]. The first day paid 1 BCP and 1,000 BCPC per BTC, then the rate fell 2% a day to 50%, then 1% a week for 50 weeks[1]. Claimants had 365 days, and “All unclaimed BCP and BCPC will be managed by the Foundation for community building, project development and promotion”[1].

Design

The archived site describes BCPC as a clearing currency with a three-second block time and says “BCP utilizes an optimized CryptoNight algorithm”[3]. forkdrop's data file lists it as a registration airdrop with a 21,000,000 maximum supply[4]. Its state after 2018 is unknown[4].
