Bitcoin Forum

Do you have any concerns for Tuesdays split?

I"m personally a little worried a lot of people could lose bitcoins due to replay attacks.

Not worried at all. Actually I'm very eager to cross this date already. Too much waiting for all of us that sometimes all the negative feelings has already emptied. I personally going to face it with a lot of optimism. I already put all my coins into safety and will let it sit there for a while before making any move. And based on the people around here, they are also ready to face the music come Aug 1. We have so much time to prepared for this so I hope others have done their share. Those who will panic and nervous are people who didn't prepare for the split. The forum has already posted a lot of information to help everyone. I'm also optimistic that the impact to the price will be minimal and it will not make any significant dent on it. Maybe just a few dips here and there but it will recover soon to another ATH.

Meh

Split or not as long as we get a solution for the scaling issues, and we need them ASAP. These transaction fees are a huge turnoff for new and curious users. Concerning the prices, if you're in for the long ride then I think you don't have to worry much.  ;D

I am prepared for the upcoming split. I have stored all of my bitcoin in paper wallet so that i can easily move any new coin i will get after the split. I will not move any coins for next few days after split to not get affected by any types of attack.

Some people are now afraid for the upcoming 1st day of August. As for me, I just go with the flow since I don't invest any of my btc. Actually, I feel the same because I am satisfied for what is happening about btc. However, I know that there will be some changes yet I have to consider the changes and that's reality. Acceptance is a must.

I am deeply afraid and also worried about hardfork update on August 1st.  Every traders and investors are waiting and hoping for the better. Let us wait what will happen before and after August 1st.

For sure most of the bitcoin users like me are worried and scared in august1 becayse they oissible that bitcoin price will decrease and I hope it will not happen. If they decrease I hope little only and I dont want to see lower than 2000 dollars . But for sure after after the august 1 many people happy because they have possible price of bitcoin to reach 3000 dollars and I think it truly happen in the month of august.

I'm not that worried at all, I already secured my coins so I am just waiting until all this drama will be over and so I can continue in my trading too since I just started to learn more about it. Hopefully bitcoins price as well as the altcoins would then be stable right after.

Here personally I am not in tension at all because all the technology that the blockchain is using can't be bad or can't harm our bitcoin , because already we have seen that many types of the fork happen successfully ( since here something went very new ) .
Here only a single thing happen that is splitting , Now here if the bitcoin will split another side then surely we need to make some change by a given software and if our btc will remain at the same side then we don't need to do anything.
So here you can see what is going different or strange that is risky.
Here I am totally free from all type of tensions .

This is the wise decision. I do it too. If everyone adhered to such tactics then there would be no problem. And no whales would have bought bitcoins and users have cleaned pockets of the whales. This would benefit all users.

if everyone has secured their bitcoin as per all the advice on this forum there will not be a problem.
Yes the price MAY fall and/or it MAY rise but 1 BTC will still be 1BTC and longterm the value will be healthy.

do you all remember the issue with the Winklevoss brothers seeking ETF for Bitcoin and when the
SEC rejected it in March? remember how we were told that the price would fall drastically after the decision?

what happened?

For more details about the moment 1 August, you can read it in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2017191.0

"Meh"

Holding alt coins and waiting for doomsday to pass so I can get a nice stash and Bitcoin price increase from the dip  ;D Selling low to buy BCC and buying back high will be a mistake  ::)

Well I'm optimistic because it will put an end to a lot of FUD going around about bitcoin so confidence can recover at least until the next hard fork.

Replay attacks is a real concern though but I think what will happen is just that transactions will come to a virtual standstill for 12-48 hours until this is solved rather than people losing a lot.

I think there is no more to be fear because it is up to bitcoin if it is fall or rise. I think if bitcoin falls it will sharply recover when bitcoin price is starting to rise again. However, August 1st is the day that holders can be fear too because it is depend on their bitcoin's status. But in my own opinion no more to fear about it. It is only for the benefits of all why segwit will be done.

Just like you, I'm also not worried at all because I've secured all my coin coins and it's just that we have to wait for the decision on the 1st of August and hopefully the decision gets better for all users.

I'm feeling quite 'Meh' to be honest. My coins are safe & I don't expect there to be much happen with the price, nothing significant any way so yeah, Meh!

Well most of the bitcoin community are worried about the hardfork update on August 1st others are loosing their hope but if we have trust to bitcoin then lets this issue pass and just hold on... We are all in this together whatever happen bitcoin will surpass all these drama.

Mixed feeling on here. I do feel bit excited and little bit worried. Excited to see to solve scaling issues which is really a good thing for bitcoin which potential new comers would really see bitcoin not having some problems regarding on this matter. Little bit worried on split that it might really give negative impact on bitcoins price.Most people say here that price would shoot up but i would say we cant still be sure if those things would really happen on August 1 later on.

I don't think that this is something that we should worry about because nothing negative is going to happen on that day. In fact, I am optimistic about the event and I believe that we will see a significant increase in the user base within few months after this event. There will be lower transaction fees and faster confirmation time so nothing to worry about it.

Base in my observation many of the community in this forum believed in bitcoin split, which is so sad this is just showed that still majority of the bitcoin users and believers are easy to believed in the rumors by the others.

Feeling meh because either way, we should be alright in the long run.

I feel the same, which is why I'm taking a wait and see approach without considering any trades in the short term. In the long run the community will decide the best way forward, its the beauty of decentralization.

I am nervous only for the fact that I still am not sure about the fate of future coins being sent to previously used addresses from before the fork.  Optimistic still, because I know Bitcoin will skyrocket beyond our wildest dreams.

Optimistic about 1 august, nothing to worry about. Just move your coins to cold storage and its safe.

I'm a bit more worried about the miners withdrawing segwit support end of the month. Miners are unreliable.

I am most worried about right now is that the BTC-e will be shut down for the next 10 days as all of my assets are listed on the floor and can not be withdrawn. I do not fear August 1, I just fear BTC-e collapse

i am actually very excited. and i get excited like this very often, whenever i am getting some additional money that i can invest in bitcoin.

right now i am counting the seconds that i can start receiving my airdrops and then rush to dump them. i wonder how fast i can perform all this, it is a race after all.
and then that is a lot of free money, and another race to buy bitcoin with all the free money i've got before BTC price goes higher. as i said it is a race after all.

i am going to be floating in adrenaline that day ;D

I don't think bad about 1st august because I'm more optimistic about what will happen on August 1st ;)

I am not really too worried as this process would just be another step towards the development of bitcoin. If something goes wrong, it would eventually be corrected or resolved. Having more doubts wouldn't help any so I just go with the flow and take necessary precautions as we go along.

I think everyone is sick to the back teeth with August 1st already and just want cryptoshere to move the fuck on away from all the politics. I know that I am.

I'm optimistic, I feel that BCC will either die out or be like what ETC is to ETH, literally nothing.
Whatever the case may be, Bitcoin is finally moving forward.

I feel very annoyed eventually and I want it to pass away so quick!

I'm also not worried, I'm optimistic and I hope everything will be fine after August 1 or few days later and that's something I hope will resolve at least some (if not all) of the issues with bitcoin for some months to come. Let's hope for the best.

 For me. I do not feel worried about the attack and the Tuesday tomorrow. Because my btc is safe.btc down or up, still profit ..

90% miner has agreed to split, I am disappointed after rumors that it will not happen hardfork. Softfork seems to be just a political issue. I hope it does not affect the current BTC price until the next few months.  >:(

I am worried about blockchain's general health after 1 August, not price. I hope everything is gonna be fine and everyone will enjoy using bitcoin. So I am worried.

Can't say I have any real concerns.  I'm pleased that UASF didn't set a precedent of what I'd personally deem to be an "unnatural" consensus, closer to force or coercion to comply than a "natural" fork would be (although I recognise that not everyone would share that view).  I'm honestly indifferent towards BCC at the moment.  I don't see it as any kind of takeover attempt and become more convinced by the day that anyone who genuinely believes it is might be short of a few braincells.  There's still an undeniable schism in ideology of on-chain vs off-chain transactions, so in my mind it's perfectly understandable that not everyone would want to lend full and unquestioning loyalty to any particular dev team if they feel their view isn't being represented in that team's vision.  Deny this if you like, but that's what being in denial looks like.

At the end of the day, this isn't a dictatorship and we don't all have to subscribe to the same philosophy to move forward.  If people want to fork away, they're perfectly welcome to do so.  No one gets to pretend that they can say with any certainty whatsoever that anyone else's motives for forking away are malicious.  It's their choice and they can choose to do it for whatever reason they wish.  Whether that fork is successful or not, nothing results in any current dev team losing influence or being unable to continue producing code for their preferred chain.  Mostly, I just wish people could get that simple notion into their heads and STFU about "hostile takeovers", "taking control", "benevolent dictators", etc and stop trying to cram their authoritarian views down every else's throats.

I also wish people had given more consideration to the notion that the blocksize doesn't have to be an integer.  But I suspect we've now moved beyond the point where such wishful thinking is constructive.  I'm not convinced that SegWit2x is the best solution moving forwards, but I can accept it's the one most people are likely to get behind.  I suppose that's good enough.

That's where I'm at right now.

There is pretty less probability of a chain split as most Miners have agreed to the segwit and I am looking towards decreased transaction fees and confirmation times.

Same with lots of people here, not worried at all.

Honestly Im excited on what will really happened after August 1st. I want that day to come now so that we aren't stuck at speculating and let's see what this will bring, good or bad, advantage and disadvantage.

Im optimistic not because as simply as Im saying that word easily. Im optimistic because we have reasons to become like that. Stay tuned.

I think I am being happy because finally bitcoin is on it's way of improving. Yes, there are people who are taking advantage of us users but I think solving a problem comes another problem, and I think the problem now is the people making the moves behind the big shadows.

Is the split really going to happen? I have been reading about it a lot lately but I still find it hard to believe that this split will happen. My assumptions are not final,  they are just assumptions. I guess we will just have to wait and see,  rather be on the safe than to be sorry,  don' t make any transactions from 31- 2nd August maybe.

You are right for this, I think no need to panic and do not need to be feared for such a thing, most importantly we do not have to transact on 1-2 August, because all will cause your Btc will disappear, so better silence and sit sweet in a comfortable place , See how it will happen.

The attack is always on the exchange, if you store it in a ledger or something like that I think your BTC will be safe. The wallet on exchange is not a personal asset, so consider when you place your property on the exchange

You dont have to be worried,ensure your btc is secure in a wallet,i can assure you with that your btc is safe.
Hopfully few days after Aug 1 btc will be on d increas.

Agree gan we do not need to panic, ane itself calm and silent what will happen will not affect our income. ;D

If you have secured your coins then no need to worry. Actually I'm ecstatic and eager to see what will happen in Aug 1 and after. Some say its doomsday day or something, so I wanna see how this so called doomsday scenario will really turns out. And I believed that it will be just an ordinary day for bitcoin because it will succeed in dealing with it. No need to panic. We just need to stay calm and let the storm pass by.

Not worried at all, I want this day to come and pass I fell it stinky now talking anymore about the August 1.
Everything will be fine till the moment you control your emotions. The time when you lose control and become greedy will be the moment to get worried about. I have nothing else to say more than best wishes to all the bitcoin users.
Be yourself and don't let anyone misguide you.

the weather is strange today...

normally when BTC goes down everything else follow it, and vice versa.

today, BTC goes up alone, everything else falls.

may the force with BTC

Ane agrees perfectly, Ane will eliminate the worries and hopefully bitcoin will be stable :D

i think the increasing price of bitcoin shops that still people are too much confident about bitcoin and therefore hey are not selling it. i am sure that bitcoin price will not comedown from 2500$ and after 1st August it will start increasing and it is also expected that the price will continue increasing non stop and will reach to 4000$ in next few weeks.

All of a sudden, the Coinbase announcement NOT to support BCC is making a lot of sense...

I am a bit cautious about the whole thing, i already thought that there was a split already, with Bitcoin Cash BCC in the system and because even some exchanges have already started to accept it. I recommend not buying any bitcoins a week after August 1.

Well, am a kind of afraid not because of a fall in the price of Bitcoin that may happen, if it eventually happen but because of my bitcoin which i labour for over three to four months that are not in the save wallet account. I have some in blockchain wallet and the other with poloniex exchange.

I voted "Scared Shitless" because it seemed somewhat melodramatic.

Actually,  I'm more annoyed about the possibility of owning BCC that's worth significantly more than $0 and that I'd need to take the trouble to sell. I mean now I need to install a BCC-aware wallet and migrate over my private keys, etc. etc.

Can't vote for some reason, any trick to it?

Just because we do not know yet of what will happen within the split or do not know what will be the effect of the upcoming split event a couple of days right now, I think it is just normal to worry about it because the assurance to succeed or not is not yet visible due to the reason that there is no update about that event to happen. But still hoping that this event will be a positive factor with a positive effect to lessen all the doubts and worry in all our minds.

I don't have any concerns and neither should anyone else.

When btc splits and you have btc and bcc, go sell the bcc back asap. Make some extra profit. Free Munzen hoy hoy!!

confused, because if there'll be a downtrend i will surely invest on bitcoin because i could buy it cheaper and at the same time anxious because i have few bitcoins, although i already profit from it, it'll be better if the price won't go down, i can't decide wether to sell my other bitcoin or not. i really don't know how i feel :D D:

That's one good idea, but we will not know what will happen. Such as a possible reduction in bitcoin prices.
Bitcoin may experience a drastic price reduction due to BCC intervention in the bitcoin market.

Not only Bitcoin price will not decrease, But also it will increase very much.
I think most of holders will sell their BCC and BTC will be the winner chain. After that the demand for Bitcoin will rise and it will cause the price to increase so much.

fine.

bitcoin cash is just another bullshit boogeyman wheeled out by the same old suspects.

it's gonna fail hard and everyone else will shrug it off.

the people involved in bitcoin need to stop being pussies and apply some freaking logic.

umm well! Bitcoin is not predicted yet some people are saying that the price of the bitcoin will increase and some are saying that the price will go more down but it is the time when we cannot say anything yet it can be something good and we are hoping for the best so let’s see what will happen I think after august first the price will pump up heavily again it will bring something good for the bitcoin users.

Exactly !

I have read now from different sources that a "replay" attack on the opposite chain of what is used first is a concern, even though BCC claims to have replay protection.  I guess the replay protection won't protect the other chain.  ( and right now I am more concerned for my BTC safety).  Again, Coinbase is looking real smart as we approach the 1st, and I guess other exchanges have followed their lead.

So if you use one (BTC or BCC, opposites have been discussed) there is a chance you can lose the other...  is that correct???

I am not going to touch either for a couple weeks until this all settles.

In the first place,  why should I get worry about it, in fact I'm not concern what will happen in that date.
That's ridiculous it shouldn't be entertain by anyone but that's not what other's do here instead they entertained it. So the result in the end they are swallowed by the rumors and hearsay. what a poor one...

My emotions are disabled.  ;D It has been like this since I got into this land of crypto.

I want time to fly fast so that this August 1 date will pass by so quickly. By that time, everyone will realize that everything is all part of a coin's life and that worrying shall also pass and that it did not actually help.

Instead of August 1, I am looking forward to the closing of this year.  ;)

I heard about the "replay" attack.
I am a bit worried actually about this and that.

But I already store all my bitcoins on cold storage, so it should be fine, right?
I personally don't want any "free" BCC from exchanges.
But lots of ppl says that after they got BCC, they'll dump it like hell.

It doesnt concern me in the slightest since all of my bitcoins have already been converted to my country's currency though im kind of excited of what will happen on august 1, considering that it is my first time witnessing this so called "split". I want to know how big of an impact it is to bitcoin's price.

There will be very less impact on the price, an overwhelming support has already been given and thats why the price went back to its previous state. People are worried what if the BitcoinCash becomes the top coin which is highly impossible.

I'm being neutral or what can I say exactly being illiterate about the situation. This makes me relaxed and I don't want to understand what is going to happen. I have followed directions as given by forum administrators that is to save funds in the wallet for which I have private keys. So I have done it and rest is up to the tech people's.

Honestly I don't feel any bit afraid about August 1. I am actually expecting changes to happen soon it's just that this year is the year it's happening. But this is also for the betterment and progression of bitcoin and everyone will benefit out of this too. Just make sure to secure your wallets with 2fa before the said event.

Im not worried for Aug 1. People will surely support the goodness of bitcoin and it will emerge with high price. I completely trust bitcoin. But for now i cant predict the future of bitcoin. the only thing we can do is wait and watch some more days. Bitcoin will be king as it is now. Just trust bitcoin and think the best about it.

Initially I was panicky about what was to happen, then news came there would be no spilt as such and now towards the end bcc reared it's ugly head but now I don't feel it will matter cause I don't see them doing any harm, they will last for a week or so and dissappear, I would advise caution and not to trade tomorrow and day after and suspend all receiving till mid week, keep your coins locked in a secured wallet and sit back and watch the drama.

If we could send a few ninjas to take care of little Wu and his followers few months back we would've been above $3500, I can say he held us back for a few months, that's all there is about first of Aug, a temporary set back caused by a temporarily in the head lines guy, I'm fattening my ass while watching you guys sh*tposting as usual without actually know anything about the outside world/outside of this forum there is a whole different world. I'm waiting like everyone else, can't really do anything else :D

Honestly, I just take it positive. You guys should hold your bitcoin in right now, or withdraw your BTC from exchange to an external wallet address under export private keys option during this event as literally no online wallet is safe. I support because of faster transaction, lower fees and further improvements.

I'm a little bit worried because we don't know what will be the outcome after Aug. 1. But we need to face it and we need to have faith that bitcoin will increase more than what we  expected.

I'm a little worried about what could happen on August 1st bu I'm a little Optimistic and pumped, maybe because I'm holding on the thought that after the split, bitcoin will give us better opportunities than what it is giving now. I also think that this is a great solution for the huge transaction fees that we are paying in our every transactions so because we'll be using bitcoin for so long, this could be better for us.

There will definitely be money lost to replay attacks. I'm genuinely surprised that there is so much interest in this airdrop, and I'm sure many don't understand the risks of replay attacks. It's really too bad... If the fork hadn't been so rushed, there would have been time to properly add and test replay protection.

Not really already put my investment in altcoin and already feeling the profit from pumps. (ETH, Ltc)

Pretty excited, although I won't be affected as I have spent all my BTC beforehand a long time ago. I am waiting to see what happens and I will be restarting my BTC career soon after Aug 1. Hope everything plays out for the good of BTC!

That right, Everyone will be equally waiting for what will happen on Aug. 1 and hope that the best thing will happen. ;)

I agree with you . I am also worried about this issue but in my opinion, whatever happens, they still want Bitcoin to grow in the future and achieve high prices.

Im very excited this year bitcoin drama, saved my private key for free Bitcoin cash but dont know how the transfer process to dump.

I dont know about that replay attack so im just never move my bitcoin unless a reliable source say so.

I am deeply concerned and also concerned about the hardfork update on August 1st. All traders and investors expect the best. Let's pray

If there there is the option of being neutral about the whole thing, that's what I would have chosen because I am just not moved by it and believes that what will be will be irrespective of my feelings whether being optimistic or otherwise does not change what will happen on August 1 as it has been sealed by those who make such decision and post August 1 is something I could have some feeling of optimism towards.

Excited man, they basically handing out free money. And alts will pump bcuz people will want to put the money somewhere

its for me, I'm a little worried about what will happen after August 1, maybe what I can do is to save some bitcoin in bitcoin qt wallet and partly in altcoin  :'(

I am very optimistic about August 1 because we do not need to worry if Segwit happens that will make the BTC price increase very high in August. I hope in the future BItcoin price will only increase and no decrease

Some exchange site has post about there worry in August 1 split and they just hold temporarily there deposit and withdrawal transactions starting on that date and this is on Tuesday then! I'm also little worried to on what happen then! ???

I am worried about what will happen at the 1st of August. I do not know what to do with my bitcoin so my bitcoin is not lost. I have followed all the instructions given by this forum. I am anxious masi .. hopefully segwit no harm to bitcoin. And hopefully the price is stable.

So there's no problem about tomorrow's upcoming day and at that moment all blocks will be refreshed (just cleanup)

I use Bitcoin as a payment gateway for my services so I am actually pumped right now as it will be a great thing for the transactions and in return it will be useful for all the businesses where btc is used.

I am feeling very eager to wait until August 1. Is everything as rumor. Besides, I still feel a bit nervous because I still have some BTC in my wallet, will it disappear or help me rich?

me too, there is a fear. Actually, I'm afraid will take bitcoin on that day. But I also look forward to the day that will come quickly to know what's going to happen. A sense of suspense!

I am really worried to what might happen in August 1. And what we only have is ideas, no one really knows what will truly happen on this day. It is sad that what we can only do now is to wait for this day and to avoid performing any bitcoin transaction. I just hope that the segwit, which they refer as the upgrade, will really help in the market price of the coins to get higher and to happen in August 1.

You have very realistic approach towards life. Indeed your feelings and emotions are not going to affect what August 1st is destined to but they can surely help you patiently wait for Segwit. Since you have good command over your emotions, that’s why ready to accept whatever is about to happen after 2 days but many people lack this. They need advice of staying calm and positive.

I'm feeling very optimistic about it and can't wait for it to Come and go. I'v had enough of this drama. I wana resume my btc trading with peace of mind...OOPS, another saga is coming up on November!!! ;)

I am just going to be glad it is over and something happened at last. It has been years of waiting for something.

Oh great.How did you say that the price impact will go down? You know what, no one can tell what will happen to the price of bitcoin. Better to do is think of positive things and see price increases or decreases. Avoid thinking negatively because it harms other users.
 For me, the price of bitcoin will increase and many bitcoiners will be happy.

No Worries

People around me are worried about August 1st. They even intend to sell their bitcoin, which is bad.I think they should calm more.

Isn't it we have already past Aug 1? And as some have suggested, the price should dip, but look at the current price of bitcoin, it is almost touching $2900 and even some trading exchanges have price more than that. Bitcoin proves a lot of doubters here. Although I will be cautious and observe the following weeks to gauge what the real impact is. Can we sustain this price?


That's why you need to be cautious and not jump in because of this so called "free" coins to get. I thought the BCC blockchain has replay protection though? Or maybe I didn't get it correctly.

Well if your friends are going to sell you can't really stop them because they are afraid. Let them be, but I hope they won't regret their decision once the price of bitcoin skyrocketed after the split.

I am so pumped!

No concerns, cannot wait for Aug 1.  Let's see what happens people!

This so exciting buyer are line up waiting for hard fork all coin are up just waiting for explosion

I'm sure there will be a big pump going on after 1 August because there has been a small pump in the last few days and the average bitcoin price on the exchange site is approaching $ 3000.

I happy that the update went well  :D

Now I am just hoping that the BCC will die ASAP, it confuses many users and does nothing than FUD.

many are fear what will happen during august 1 , but as of today it seems like nothing happen about the split we still cannot feel the effect if ever the split could happen.maybe in a couple of weeks or so but we are still optimistic that the dominance of the original btc would prevail despite of any attempt of splitting and forking.

When the price is a concern, this day seem to be a roller coaster drive.
But in the events outlook as of today, it's more of a advantage versus a minimal risk.
