I've only known about Bitcore today. Did a quick check including at its website and I became intrigued. So much so that I've opened an account at Cryptopia since Bittrex and Poloniex don't have it listed (yet).
Don't know what's going to happen to BTX's price over the coming weeks. Especially after Oct. 30 with the planned massive airdrop to all Bitcoin addresses with a minimum value. In addition to registered BTX addresses.
But I think I'm going to risk it. At worse I will end up with another coin but with lower value than what I had put in. However BTX is too intriguing to ignore.
