If I hold my Bitcoin in my Blockchain or Coinbase Wallet, will I get any BCC after the hard fork happens?

Also, are there any exchanges that support BCC.

I heard that Electrum would support the coin, but now they said that BCC used their name without autorization... I dont know anymore...

Jaxx might support BCC but you will not get BCC if you keep your bitcoin in your blockchain or coinbase wallet. Just withdraw out your bitcoin from those wallet to electrum or jaxx wallet because both of them will give you your private key which you can use to claim BCC afterwards.

I'm a bit confused. I keep seeing BCC like it's a ticker for Bitcoin Cash? I also just got an email alert/warning from Coinbase and they said the coin is going to fork and they also used the ticker BCC for Bitcoin Cash?

How is this as I have a wallet with coins staking with ticker BCC and it's called BitConnect.

What's up with that?  ???

Other questions of confusion here we go....

Is the chain for sure going to split or is this a possibility and if just a possibility how likely?

If the chain does split which of the 2 coins will be dominate in value?

If a person holds bitcoin in a bitcoin wallet and the coin forks what exactly happens to the coins in that wallet?

It would be nice to have this all sorted out in order to know how best to move forward so many thanks for any advice you can give.

it is blockchain.info not blockchain. and you will have your BCC if you control the private keys. in blockchain.info you can get your private keys with a work around but with coinbase you don't and with their vault i am not sure but i guess not.

as for exchanges Coinbase said they won't add it.
ViaBTC has it already.
others didn't say much or said we are "monitoring the situation"


Electrum never supported this, the BCC team only used the Electrum name and logo to release a wallet with the same name (forked from Electrum).

I do not know much about this, but for now, I know Electrum is the best wallet, you can use it to get BCC when bitcoin is split, in addition, bittrex is a trading platform, if You store bitcoin here, you can also get BCC.

Yes, the jaxx.io wallet will support for bitcoins cash, in the next time will there is fetures on jaxx.io for split the bitcoins to bitcoins cash,
 it will be like couples months ago when there is fetures splits on the jaxx.io for ethereum and ethereum classic,
the jaxx will be best wallet for bitcoins and another altcoins that be supported on there, unfortunately not all of the big altcoins on there.

The person who started this thread is either working for the BCC pump and dump altcoin scam or they've gotten confused by the other BCC propaganda.

No, Statement regarding Bitcoin Cash and Electrum https://electrum.org/bcc.txt

I think you should choose Bittrex as your wallet because Bittrex is supported if the split happens and according to the latest information if you hold 1BTC on Bittrex you will probably get 1BCC, the value of 1BCC = 400. $, Which makes Bitcoin prices soar today

Jaxx posted this update on their Twitter page on July 25th but no further updates regarding the issue to date:
"Regarding Bitcoin Cash (#BCC), we are discussing it internally and will report back to the community soon."

Bittrex posted this statement on their website:
"If you have a Bitcoin (BTC) balance on Bittrex during the BCC UAHF time on August 1st, 5:20am (12:20pm UTC), you will be credited the equivalent amount of Bitcoin Cash (BCC) on a 1:1 basis. i.e. 1 BTC on Bittrex held during the on-exchange snapshot will get you 1 BCC."

An email from Kraken states this:
"Clients holding Bitcoin (XBT) balances at the time of the fork will be credited with an equal amount of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) - e.g. 1 XBT will result in 1 XBT + 1 BCH"

BTCPOP (btc loan site) had this to say: "BTCPOP will be supporting the Bitcoin Cash chain split and crediting all accounts with their respective amount of BTCC(Bitcoin Cash)."

Here is a wallet (airbitz) that will be able to secure your btc and then transact for your bch (bitcoin cash) later.

You can see the list on bitcoincash's website: https://www.bitcoincash.org/

Hopefully more wallets support BCC in the future.

• BitcoinABC
• BitcoinUnlimited
• Ledger
• ElectrumCash
• FreeWallet
• BitcoinClassic
• BXT
• Trezor
• BTC.com
• AirBitz
• Coinomi

Already many times wrote on this forum that at the time of a hard fork you do not need to store bitcoins on the exchange, that would not happen an unforeseen situation. It is better to store money on hardware wallet, or at least in cold wallet.

I think bittrex will support bcc because i've saw an article saying that for every bitcoin you have you will gain a bcc. So it is 1 to 1. If you have 1 btc for example you will get 1 bcc which is equivalent to 400 usd.

As long as you have your private keys and full control of your coins, you will get your BCC.
So since you don't have access to your private keys on coinbase, you will not get any BCC. Coinbase already stated that they won't support BCC. So move your coins somewhere you can have access to your private keys if you want to take advantage of BCC.

be very careful when using a new wallet to spend your BCC, these wallets may include bugs or even malware to steal your coins on the main chain (bitcoin).
if you have a single private key (non deterministic) then first spend your bitcoins on the main chain after the August 1st and then import that private key into that new BCC wallet to claim your BCC airdrop tokens.

if you use a seed with deterministic (HD) wallets then make sure to create a NEW WALLET with a new seed first and send all your funds from this old wallet to that new one on the main chain (bitcoin). then import that seed to the new BCC wallet and claim your airdrop.
even if you are using 1 private key generated from that seed you MUST create a new seed and send the funds to that one.

After the first August I see a bunch of reports that the funds from the wallet have gone missing ...

bittrex and bitfinex.com

1. Bittrex is not a wallet, it is an exchange.
2. We already said many times it is very risky to keep your Bitcoins on exchanges when the fork will happen. Actually, it is ALWAYS risky to store large amounts of Bitcoins on exchanges, not only around a fork.

I think any wallet is ok to have until you hold the private keys for your wallet. I am using many wallets to scatter my Bitcoin and I hold all of the private keys. If you just want BCC then best is to transfer your BTC to ViaBTC.

They are said in twitter only about discussion whether to support BCC

Electrum, Xapo wallet will support BCC

For exchange, it will be Bittrex, bitfinex, kraken,

First spend bitcoins before import private keys after 01st August

There is so much confusion. Also with the ticker symbol BCH or BCC. Which one is the right to use now? They hijacked BCC?

Ok, so let's clear this up a bit.


AFAIK it's BCC not BCH, check the chart below.

Don't confuse wallets that support BCC with wallets that will give you access to it through private keys.
If you have your private keys, you should be able to spend BCC after the fork. Even if Electrum wallet doesn't support it, which means it will not give you access through the application, it will give you your private keys that you can use to spend BCC (for instance to send it to a wallet that fully supports BCC, listed below)


So, if you have coins on your wallet, like core, electrum, whatever, that has a function to display private keys, you will get BCC anyway. No need to worry, there are guides available on how to use forked coins, just look them up.

Electrum and bolckchain.info said that they will support BCC but maybe  coinbase don't support BCC

Well, that was what they said but we can't really say yet until then. You can't really trust exchanges in this day and time. The best is just having your private keys to get your coins on both chains. But if bittrex sticks to their promise, then fine and good. That would really help them garner some loyalty of their users.

Blockchain.info support BCC?

Well,i think its very hard to find an exchange which supports BCC.Even the BCC officials are very much disappointed with this.Coinbase and GDAX have announced that they would not support BCC.Poloniex has said that it would just wait and decide whether to support BCC or not only after hard fork.Itmit,Bitmex and Exodus have also said that they would not support BCC.Bitmex has said that their users only have to withdraw their bitcoins and store it in wallet if they want BCC.I think the wallets ledger,Electrum cash,Bitcoin ABC will support BCC.

i think as long you hold you private key then it's fine, you can use that key to upcoming bcc wallet or cloud wallet that support it, but i heard that there is a risk you lose you real btc after trying to move it to bcc, so it's better to move your real btc fund first after the fork to another wallet, and then you can do the process. One more, if you mean wallets that immediately credits you BCC after fork, there is only few there, like Kraken that support to exchange the coin too, there is few exchanger support it too, you can check it on their official website.

Coinbase have already made an announcement in their blog that they are not planning to support Bitcoin Cash. Customers who wish to access both bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCC) need to withdraw bitcoin stored on Coinbase before 11.59 pm PT July 31, 2017. If you do not wish to access Bitcoin Cash (BCC) then no action is required.

So if OP is planning to get free Bitcoin Cash from the upcoming fork, you must store your bitcoins in a wallet which you are in control of the private key.

Here is the article.
https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000808991-Statement-on-Bitcoin-Cash-BCC-

its better to hold it and wait until the split on Aug. 1 as long as you have your private keys. but if not? its, better to withdraw it or try to exchange it at any alt coins in the market. many wallet offers that they support BCC, but i think there are many conflict/bugs shows after the split. its up to you ,think a better solution in your problem. we all have a suggestion about your topic and better think what is best on it.

I currently hold btc on an armory wallet that I've set and left untouched. Sadly, on a different machine, and haven't fully downloaded the bitcoin core blockchain just yet, so I can't move things around.

Will I still be able to claim my equivalent of BCH, even though Armory doesn't support it? What will I need to do to claim my share of BCH if I can't transfer my BTC to a BCH compatible wallet in time for the August 1st split?

You need to get the privkeys of the addresses your btc are stored on in armory. That's it, not sure if that is possible w/ armory, it's why I've always used core. No person technically owns a bitcoin unless he/she AND ONLY he/she knows the private key of the address it is stored on. When a wallet comes out made for BCC or whatever it is, those with the private keys of addresses that stored bitcoin AT THE TIME OF THE FORK will be able to enter in the address/privkey combinations into this new wallet in order to access their BCC (or whatever it is). If you have it stored on Bittrex, or a couple other exchanges/wallets mentioned earlier, this process will be apparently automated for you. If you hold it elsewhere, may God have mercy on your soul. Just joking :) Have fun tonight and the next couple days.... :popcorn:... and try to find those private keys if you haven't already.
