This page exists as a reference for altcoins that have branched off from Bitcoin's network either through a controlled release or a contentious hardfork. The altcoins in this list are available to be claimed and sold by Bitcoin holders who had BTC at the time of the split, which can be sold as a sort of "dividend".

This list is intended to inform bitcoin holders of the existence of currency splits and makes no guarantees about the intentions of altcoin developers. Do not trust unaudited wallet software with your private keys.
