A not very well publicized hard fork of BCH is supposed to happen on Nov. 13 - https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-cash-developers-set-date-november-hard-fork/

What happens if not enough miners switch to the new protocol change? Will BCH itself split into 2? And how would it be claimed, does anything have to be done before the hard fork?

For those people who hold BCH in a wallet, what happens if they don't upgrade to the new wallet versions that are being released? Eg:

https://electroncash.org/

id also like to know this

since im keeping in bittrex would I get the new currency in bittrex or do i need to keep Bitcoin Cash at another exchange

If you don't upgrade your wallet you won't be able to receive and send BCH on the new chain. As the BCH mining is monopolized there is very little chance of the chain splitting in two, the old one will just die.

It's an upgrade, not a hard fork. It should go smoothly.

This is a network upgrade rather than hard fork, do not be too concerned, but I think bch in addition to the network has no value at all.

For those that just left their BTC in their cold wallets and left claiming/selling their BCH for a hedge later on.

Now

Will those people still get BCH classic if a new coin is created in the fork tomorrow?

I guess they will right? the bch is already on chain waiting for them to claim at a later date, so those BCH would in turn provide BCH classic on the new chain ready to claim?

Is this correct?

After reading the title, i thought BCH will split into two as the titles says hard fork but after reading the comments,  it's was just an upgrade. I guess that's  the reason why BCH price is rising so dramatically. By the way i don't have any of it, I was thinking to purchase some lately, but i guess it was too late for me.

These frequent hard forks look jokes now , if you want to speculate a currency price just announce a hardform and mass starts accumulating that coin .. I mean should not be there some justification for relevant hardforks ?

It will not split into two but about the difficulty adjustment hardfork and that brings the more advantage to the miner. And that's just to attract the more miners from the bitcoin to move into the bitcoin cash. i can say that the bitcoin cash just like a coin has made by the politician to destroy the bitcoin itself. Roger ver and friends are cancer for this community. They are spreading bullshit about that.

You will not claim anything from the bitcoin cash hardfork.

I said again about that was the difficulty adjustment hardfork and that doesn't give any impact to the personal users.
