Bitcore is a payment mechanism alone. This initiative, like Bitcoin, does not provide any extra "ideological" or functional services to the market. The coin is quite similar to BTC, but it has certain unique characteristics that are intended to develop and improve Bitcoin's functionality. Bitcore's total block size (combined with SegWit) is 20MB, blocks are created in 2.5 minutes, the coin features a unique Diff64 15 difficulty algorithm, and it supports mining and decentralization on graphics devices (GPU mining). Bitcore, like Bitcoin, has a maximum quantity of 21 million BTX tokens. Miners' rewards are half every time a specific amount of time passes, much like in the world's first virtual currency.
