Getting an answer is really vital for me. According to it I will know what I should do.
I was initially thinking of just keeping them on my mobile wallet and sleeping till mid December and then see how are things going.
@limopc Dreams were fantastic, thanks  IMHO keeping BTC in a mobile wallet is NOT a responsible decision right now. Desktop wallet with private keys saved in two distinct storage devices. Desktop wallet should have the way to show you the network you're in (BTC or BTG). Another related matter: if we want to take advantage of what has been implemented ( https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10982) we all have to have the Bitcoin Core >0.15 up and running ASAP. Even with a zero balance on it. Enable pruning with a decent size (i.e. 10GB) if you cannot afford the normal setup disk space requirements. |

So, may I say to points,
. Maybe the BTC developers do something to really PREVENT claiming any of the forks, this way nobody wil have the new coins or trade them, no mining, no transaction, no forks.. they will simply be born dead.
. I think, just having the BTC in a mobile or desktop wallet that keeps your private keys in it and not doing transactions during the Fork is ok for safety.
What you think?
I already addressed the first point: a double layer i.e. POW/POS=>POS only for BTC would prevent in the future such things (and many other). Not doing transactions during the fork is just plain common sense. Holding your private keys is mandatory. Getting the rationale behind the Electrum tutorial I posted the link to is definitely to be done (if only to see if the fork happened for real). Bear in mind: getting the rationale and NOT actually doing the splitting, which it is definitely up to each one (and requires BTG Replay protection up and running). Bed time here now  |

First of all, be aware that coin-splits can be somewhat risky — especially controversial ones like the SegWit2x fork. While it seems unlikely for now, there is a chance some kind of cyber-battle will break out, perhaps even escalating to the point where all exchange rates drop sharply. If you want to make sure not to be caught in any crossfire, it’s best to not hold more value in bitcoin than you are willing to lose.
cyberbattle? what on earth do you mean? people aren't like shooting bitcoins at each other haha Emerge mentioned this article (please read it): https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitcoin-beginners-guide-surviving-bgold-and-segwit2x-forks/If SegWit2x will take place there will be nothing/none to laugh at, seriously  |

@daberti,
I believe from all what I am reading, the 2 forks are lacking the minimum requirements for a successful currency despite announcing very good intentions.
I have a feeling that they are attempting to travel back in time to repeat the same as what happened with BTC, the main goal is to make huge gains, not to really improve BTC or create a better BTC.
The bad thing, it seems to me that they don’t really care about normal users loosing their money.
Maybe the answer to this is to ignore claiming the free currencies absolutely, maybe BTC developers can do something to secure users’ BTC
@limopc just to recap BTC devs have already implemented since V 0.15 something to prevent the awful November fork to happen, see my post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2269535.msg23182458#msg23182458Sadly enough, I feel like the BTG fork will happen AND, YES, you're fully right (IMHO): - they don’t really care about normal users loosing their money
- the answer to this is to ignore claiming the free currencies absolutely (but see note below)
NOTEOnce more for all of us -count me in- Electrum is built to help AFA Forks are concerned http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/hardfork.html ( read it VERY carefully)
END NOTE----- Some more info from https://btcgpu.org/faq/
Inside which... - What wallet should I keep my BTC in to make sure I get my free BTG?
Any secure Bitcoin wallet that gives the user exclusive control of the cryptographic private keys is a suitable location to store your coins prior to the October 25 fork. Some wallets may offer you direct access to your BTG, while others may require you to take additional technical steps. Verified wallets that support BTC and BTG side-by-side will be listed on the Bitcoin Gold home page. We will publish guides for retrieving BTG from the most popular wallets, including Bitcoin Core, Electrum, Mycelium, hardware wallets, paper wallets, and more. (red font has been choosen by myself)
- How can I get Bitcoin Gold after the October 25 fork?
The October 25 hard fork is the one and only opportunity to get free BTG. After that time, your options to acquire it will be to buy it on an exchange like any other cryptocurrency, to mine it with your own computer hardware (GPUs), or to earn it by trading your goods and services for it.
----- Time is running fast and as of now they've no Replay protection at the ready and no guides from BTG site to retrieve BTG from most popular wallets (possibly without screw**g up your BTC balance). Have I got to mention that no BTG wallet is there as well? |

My point of view. It is all a battle of miners: BTC, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold and SegWit2X . BTG scores a point in the way he won't subtract miners (ASICS) to BTC, but loses two points by NOT having yet implemented Replay protection (still in the todo list https://trello.com/b/P1rLw1G9/bitcoin-gold-todos) and we're less than 6 days far from the fork. IMHO BTG will be a competitor to ZEC and BC Cash, more than to BTC, if difficulty will be implemented properly. These ones will possibly suffer a lot. With that said, I cannot help but predicting for BTC a mixed POW/POS transition phase and POS (possibly locking stakes from selling at least for a decently long period of time) landing asset (fees will avoid inflation seen in other POS coins), in order to get rid of hungry Chinese miners and eventually realizing Satoshi's idealistic dream of one CPU one coin. |

Another piece of info SegWit2x related: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10982"Immediately disconnect peers that use service bits 6 and 8 until August 1st, 2018
These bits have been used as a flag to indicate that a node is running incompatible
consensus rules instead of changing the network magic, so we're stuck disconnecting
based on the service bits, at least for a while.
Staying connected to nodes on other networks only prevents both sides from reaching consensus quickly, wastes network resources on both sides, etc....."Looks like that at least Bitcoin Core wallet is already safe from that hard-fork. |
|
|
|
......So this thread can be also help for those who don't know what will be happen this coming fork,..
If you just safety holding seeds and private keys your invest are safe..
This has been said abundantly. Yet it is not yet clear HOW to split BTC and BTG when the time will come, apart this piece of info from Electrum site http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/hardfork.html# |

Do nothing and your coins are perfectly safe.
With Bitcoin Gold you can separate your Bitcoin and Bitcoin gold fairly easily, just send your bitcoin to a new bitcoin address, then send the bitcoin gold (that will have remained in your old address) to a Bitcoin Gold address.
With the Segwit 2x stuff, there is no replay protection. Don't move your coins after the segwit fork, or you could lose one of the coins. Assuming the chains grow at different speeds after the fork, you will be able to split them later, but it would be best to wait and see how and when you should move them.
If for some reason you have to send coins soon afterwards, send the more expensive coin (most probably core coin) to a suitable more expensive coin wallet. At least you would only lose the cheaper of the coins!
So, let's limit to the old address. How to spot it out which are BTC and which BTG? |

How to enable Segwit for Monacoin?
I.e. how to set version bits to 0x20000003 ?

Devs, please, shed some light: 0.9.13 goes with Boost 1.63? Is it the minimum required AEON version?
What VS version is required to compile?Minimum and recommended.
I've the impression that currently there are just too many chances to have backward compatibility related problems.
Then, why 1.64 for 0.9.14 when 1.65.1 addresses a lot of issues -not least 'Visual C++ version checks'- ?

I downloaded the wallet but it's saying no block source available
What should i do?
Close it and restart |
|
|

I've been closely monitoring this coin. No pre-mining, no ICO no infamous POS based solely on your wallet weight, ASIC resistant, constantly mantained and cared after. If I'm dreaming don't wake me up  |
|
|

Who want to buy, hope for the lowest price. Holder will be worry about it. And miners want to collect some profit after a long time mining.  So just forget about AEON at this time, we will be looking the profit at the end of this year Bollinger Bands are too far apart=>too much volatility for entering AEON market. I'll be back at 19K-21K Sat level. |

@Smooth
Could Stoffu's solution be put in a sticky post?
Thanks

I think a lot of folks here have Aeons including myself. Someone literally went into the same gripe about Bittrex on Git not more than a few days ago. Same tone, same vocabulary and grammar, same idea. I give respect where respect is due but telling me to 'Steer away' is for a compilation guide. Probably won't stop all the Trex conspiracy theories... back and to the left! Dear mate (not polemizing, believe me), now on trex is on 54.7K Sat and heavily waving. Elaborating a bit more my ideas when you see as today was seen RSI value at 93% (1 day resolution) you should know that a coin is overbought by at least 13%. When you see an EMA 50 days, 1day resolution, starting a typical exponential slope you should know that something is going wrong. Even more wrong if it is an anonym coin. As I'm writing, always at trex, with 5 minutes resolution, MACD (12,26,9) is well below 0; same for 15 minutes resolution and 30' one. This underlines a confirmed short period dipping thread , which was just expected by who is writing. Bid and Ask have a greater spread, so the equilibrium phase is far from being reached. Let's add something to the mix: how is it behaving XMR in total BTC equivalent exchanges if compared vs AEON? Badly indeed. As I'm writing AEON shows >1407 BTC and XMR >266 BTC . Always according to trex. Now, what it is (has been) happening it is quite clear to me |

Maintenance update release (0.9.13.0) and development update Windows binaries have been added. Windows binaries (md5 checksum)
aeond.exe (2c6a896c3f4fdf778d51a91c9768ca01)
simplewallet.exe (be00bfafad1f7bb2e2381df0db47b4d6)
Here are some comments from Arux about the new binaries: win64 binaries 0.9.13.0:
sync OK (no need to sync from scratch, 0.9.12.0 blockchain is compatible), wallet OK (no need to rescan a 0.9.12.0 wallet), transfer OK. Thanks 👌🏻👍🏻 |

This does NOT change things. And I do own AEONS !
daberti = sanitariu ? I feel like I just heard your rant over on Git. Is your only stake in this coin as a trading vessel? There may be better options for you other than a lightweight anonymized variant of an already established idea, platform, and developer. You can see there is a core community here right?
daberti is daberti. Granted. And can you see that I gave my contribute here with a compiling guide mentioned by Arux? Steer away from me, with given respect. Said that, as I'm an owner of AEON coins I'd really hope it will stay at high 70k Sat levels....yet it is very strange it is in excess of 74K at trex and 61k at the other Exchange. |

Bittrex deposits and withdrawals are offline for months. That was a reason why AEON price was so low last few months. But as of yesterdays it is known deposits and withdrawals will soon be possible.
AEON got lots of attention because it was announced that a rebase (thing that was developed for over a year and everything else was put aside till will get implemented) will get tested on testnet in upcoming weeks.
This does NOT change things. And I do own AEONS ! |

|

So what is the deal with this? Is this huge move simply because of ttrex?
I will only say that keeping "AEON wallet offline for maintenance" for days and accepting trades is unfair practice. On the other Exchange it is at 0.00070500 on ttrex is at 0.000074864 |

fake bittrex pump this project is absurd  None looking there at RSI, 1 day resolution ? It's over 93% ..... Edit: This means it is overbought |
