Bitcore was established in April 2017, by a core developer Chris and he and other developers form the bitcore team. Bitcore has BTX as it's symbol and has same maximum supply like bitcoin which is 21million. One interesting thing about it is that it is on so mant exchanges and most of the popular available wallets support it both cold and hot.
The team seems to be so economical in their approach to the development of bitcore, for example in the era where using of GPU and CPU for mining is gradually becoming outdated because they are being consider too slow the team has found a solution to this where this equipment will be major mining equipment for bitcore and with maximum result through it's mega btx.
To spread the word about bitcore worldwide the team is looking for anyone intrested to be a volunteer of bitcore to do so, the work of volunteer will be to make the existence of btx known worldwide, such ones will be doing the work free of charge but will have access to the team that will be giving them information needed, they will also be giving the feedback to the team, which in turn will help the team to know the areas where they should improve.
The merchant who which to accept bitcore as there means of payment have little stress to overcome because the team is making things easier. The halving of the btx will be happening in April 2021.
