Since the hard fork happened do I now have BCC and BTC? Are they both the same coin and I have a choice which one I want and there is a limited time? For awhile I thought that I have BTC and can transfer it over to BCC for a limited time or something like that. After doing some reading though it looks like I have the same amount of BCC as I do BTC and somehow they are stored separately. If it is the later I'd like to figure out how to see this. I'm kind of confused though so help me Bitcoin Community. Help me. ???

If you have bitcoins in your wallet before 1 august, you will have same amount of Bitcoin cash in your wallet now. There are multiple ways to separate your coins and no there is no time limit. You can either keep it or sell it.
Which wallet you are using?

Ps: you can check your BCH balance here

Dont Bothe much about it as this is normal to happen. You don’t have two same coins but they are different and one of them is virtually alt coin which was created at the time hard fork that happened on August 1st this month. The decision was taken to split the blockckahin into two different size the result of which we have two coins now. This is brother of bitcoin only and you must’ve got credited with same amount of BCC after the hard fork as reward may be. Anyway if that is actually good thing that you have got them because its free and you can exchange with the BTC to earn more. You can do the exchange on any exchanger you preferred.

make sure you keep the wallet where your coins are and dont just move coins and delete it, because your coins wont stick together. If you send bitcoin to a new wallet and get rid of your old, you will lose your bcash.

I don't understand why you are confused. You want to transfer BTC to BCC? Your question is adding more confusion to us here. I would assume that you mean how you can convert your BTC to BCC or maybe even vice versa. Now you can do that in an exchange...just sell one and then buy one. meaning you can sell your Bitcoin and buy Bitcoincash and the same is true with the other way around...you can sell your BCC and then buy Bitcoin.

The real answer depends on where your bitcoin was held on August 1st. Where was it? What kind of wallet?

The reason I ask is that if it was with an exchange it's possible you may not have any Bitcoin Cash...but this only applies to a few exchanges. So, give us some more info and we can better help you.

You don't have to choose one or the other and redeeming your Bitcoin Cash is getting easier by the day.

If you had ownership of bitcoins on the 1st of August. < YOU had the private keys to those coins > then you will also have BCC. We tried to tell people before the 1st of August to withdraw their funds from 3rd party services, where they did not hold the private keys and to deposit those coins into wallets where they had full control over the private keys.

Some services do not give you the BCC if you had coins with them, they keep it to themselves and just give you the BTC. Get in contact with those services and find out what their decision was on this. They should have emailed you or made a public announcement before this event.

It's because you have bitcoin before 1 august and you will get bitcoin cash at the same value like bitcoin you hold before 1 august bitcoin cash is actually another coin than bitcoin
It's was created by bitcoin split

They are two different coins, and BCC is likely to not go anywhere, so you can trade it for BTC and get some more btc from it.

If you have BTC, then you would get same qty FREE BCC after the hard fork. They are separate, like BTC & ETH, BTC & Doge, etc. You can store and sell them separately.

Hodl BTC and you will have B2X in Novembero

That's what everyone was saying at .07; the price of BCC has more than doubled since then. I think it's a shitcoin, personally, and I think it's a last push for control by entrenched stakeholders like Bitmain, Bitpay and Roger Ver. But I think we all have to admit that both the Bitcoin Cash fork and the proposed Segwit2x fork have far more support than past hard fork attempts.

I'll continue to support BTC, but at the same time, I know these guys have a lot of bitcoin, hash power and the means to market their forks. Most bitcoiners are still confident that no significant split will (or has begun to) occur. I'm not so sure.

It's not a problem for you. because if you have a BTC before hard fork will surely get a BCC in accordance with btc you have, it's all apart and you could use from one of them. and the second thing (BTC and BCC) you can use all the. So this advantage to you don't worry everything is running perfectly. One of the beliefs that I have is the BCC will become the next BTC or successor bitcoin. The BCC because it had a better rate in the system they have.

Yes, you have two different coins with different values. You need to store them in different wallets, for example Electrum for Bitcoin and Electron Cash for Bitcoin Cash. You can choose which one you want, yes. If you prefer just one of them you can sell the other one on exchanges, or you can hold both.

You better have both  :)

Actually the correct name is BCH (Bitcoin Cash), and Yes, it is 2 different coins.
If you have btc before hf then you will also got bch the same amount as your btc.
But, it's all depends on your exchanges/wallet when you held your btc at that time.
And there is no time limit.

You have Bitcoin (BTC) and RogerVerCoin (BCH).  ;D

I still think BCC will raise in value. Not as high as bitcoin but it will have the same ratio value I think I wonder If this will slowdown bitcoins.



What is B2X ?

New coin ?

Horrible advice from a Newbie... BCH is literally a value of 0. It's 100% Roger Ver so unless you are gay for him...

B2X I guess will be what they will be calling the November Segwit fork, it could get quite crazy if people keep proposing these forks of bitcoin.

When the fork happened in 1st August, and if you hade total control of your wallet ( meaning you had your private keys) or you left your btc in a 3rd party that accepted and automatically deposited the BCH for you, then yes, you have two different coins in your wallet. You can find some tutorials around this blog about how to separate the BTC and BCH from your wallet. Have seen some doing it well, others lose all of BTC in the process, so be careful.

Wow, really? I even know it, so if we move all of our balance to another wallboard BCH we will also be missing? Like that.

Of course not, bch will automatically cloned from your bitcoin-private keys, after hard fork August 1st and bch distributed, it will stay on your/exchanges wallet which support bch. No matter what, even you send bitcoin to another address, bch will remain safe in your wallet. I've did that several times.

Looks like Op missed the biggest party of bitcoin, but I guess he can generate bch as long as he has private keys.

Division happened. And they are two distinct currencies, without any involvement. However, the money you get is BCH, it's not BCC, I think you got it wrong.

BCH and BCC both terms are used for Bitcoin cash

Why are you confused? You should have both coins. You have equally beneficial coins. And you will not lose if you have bitcoincash .. let alone you get bitcoincash from your bitcoin results for free .. you should hold your bcc wait a few months .. I'm sure bcc will go up like bitcoin. Although bcc can not beat bitcoin. But you can take advantage of bcc

So says the man with all the experience.  The man who doesn't understand what 'literally' means.  The homophobe.  The reason Bitcoin Core is going to flop is because their fan base has no clue at all. 

Buy BCH today at 650 because it will be the new 'bitcoin' in a few months and it will be at $4000.  Mark my words.

If you have bitcoin (BTC) and bitcoin cash (BCC) then be thankful because you have both that will give you profits. In those two, the more important thing is bitcoin because it will become your long term investment and the best thing to do with your bitcoins is to just hold it for long term while bitcoin cash will be on a short term investment because since it is free then its price can be turn up or down easily so it is better to watch it and have a target price to sell your coins of bitcoin cash.

Woohoo! I checked it out on Blockdozer.com. My BCH is there! I'm so happy now. EEek!  :D :D :D

I bought Bitcoin a couple weeks before the hard fork and moved it to a paper wallet, because I thought Bitcoin would go up. Little did I know that I would receive free BCH. So now all I have to figure out is how to sell/moving/use it in a safe and secure manner.

It is crazy to think about all those hours slaving away at work and making money and I pretty much just made 4 months of that by buying bitcoin before the hard fork... Of course if it all comes crashing to 0 then that would be a huge disappointment. But for now, I am overjoyed.

How can bitcoin possible keep splitting like this without destroying the market? I don't want to sound like a chicken little but why did they just not wait to split it just the one time?

Lol…you seem to be desperate over this. Before the event that took place on August 1st, we were all told to move our wallets to wallets that will accept both stocks (BTC & BCC/BCH), example Coinbase. Which some did. I never did, cause I wasn’t interested. But you can get Bitcoin Cash by backing up your Bitcoin in a different computer and then use the private key to import it to a BCC/BCH wallet.

A person in his wallet, in addition to his bitcoin, has a new Bitcoin Cash coin, and he is embarrassed and does not know what to do. The new coin is an altcoin, which appeared on August 1 in purses with bitcoins as a result of its division. And its rate is quite high in comparison with other altcoyins. Then you need to be happy, but he is embarrassed and does not know what to do. These are absolutely different coins and they can be disposed of at their own discretion.

I got some BCC and its growing now.

If you had Bitcoin and your private keys before August 1st then you automatically own BCH.
The top mod of this forum theymos wrote about how to get them.
You must download a Bitcoin Cash compatible wallet and upload your private keys.

I have BTC and some coins are still stored because in the future you later want to use as an investment. for BCC I already sold it and I am more than happy to save BTC.

That's partly why I don't want do anything right now. I'm guessing since I haven't heard by now that Bitcoin ABC and Electron Cash are malware, that they are safe, but I still don't feel good about it. Does anyone know about the BCC wallet on BTC.com? Is it like blockchain.info, where you control your own private keys? Or is it a web wallet?

In any case, it looks to me like the BCH/BTC is still in a bull flag. So I probably want to wait to sell, anyway. Maybe after the next wave up.
