All the people who had their ACTs at their wallets at the time of the snapshot already got their ABTCs. AChain delivered on time. The people that had ACTs at Kucoin are the ones who haven't received them yet (Kucoin's telegram group is a warzone. With all the ETH withdrawal delays and not a word about ABTC). AChain confirmed that they delivered the coins to Kucoin, so it's Kucoin's fault for this delay. It seems like for the people who trusted on Kucoin there's nothing left to do but wait, because they don't give any info and when you talk to someone at their support service is like talking to a wall.

The price of ABTC is way bellow the dollar, but that was to be expected. Taking into account that this fork happened during all the FUD and market "crash", most of the ABTCs must have been dumped. I think the smart thing to do for the people who got or are going to get free ABTCs is to hodl them. Its value can only go up, and the project itself could be a not so hidden gem right now (it's a faster bitcoin with smart contracts). I got the feeling that if I get them (I'm beginning to think that Kucoin won't deliver here) and sell them, I'm going to regret it a lot. BTW, don't know if it's true but I read that ABTC already partnered with CCTV, so by March its value should rise.

AChain is going to start its western marketing campaign on Q1. They already have a working product, more than 30 dapps, and many forks coming because of their forking tech (very good thing for ACT's hodlers), so it's a little odd that ACT is not better known outside of China. If that changes with the marketing and exposure on more exchange sites (I read that today they were going to be listed on CoinCodex. Can't confirm it, though), this coin could easily be a more than 1 billion market cap coin in the near future. Research a little about it, there's a lot that I didn't know and suprised me.

The value of AChain has been slowly decreasing, in line with almost every other altcoin. The fork was done on Jan 12, and probably they're going to start the distribution of the forked coin (ABTC) during this week (no official date from Kucoin at least, for the ones that had our coins there during the fork). Is it safe to start trading our ACTs for other altcoins before receiving the free ABTC? It should be, since the snapshot was done three days ago, so it shouldn't matter if we are still holding the ACT coins or not, but I don't have experience participating in forks and I don't want to lose the free ABTC. I trust both of these projects (ACT and ABTC), but I want to diversify my portfolio again.
I tried to ask someone from Kucoin's support service if it was safe to start trading my ACTs, but I didn't even got him/her to understand what I was saying. Anyone knows the answer to this? How did this work on previous hard forks? Did you start trading the hodled coin inmediately after the snapshot and still received the free coins? Thanks.

With cryptos you never know, and we are talking about Nvidia and Alibaba here (btw, are both news 100% official and confirmed?). But I've read somewhere else that CAPP's market cap is about 200 millions. 10x would mean a 2 billion market cap, which is possible, but not so sure if it can be made so fast. Maybe it'll reach that point but in a matter of months, idk. Still, I think it's a good investment.

Thanks for your reply. I’ve read good comments about their support service, so I trust that they will credit my funds. The thing is that it’s been more than 10 days and I want to buy coins now that the prices are very cheap. Don’t think I’ll make it, unless they reply soon.

Hi. Anyone knows what’s the average response time of Cryptopia’s service support? I made a mistake and deposited on my account through ETH, but then I realized they don’t support smart contracts. The address is correct, so they did receive the money, but it doesn’t appear on my balance. I submitted a ticket 11 days ago, and insisted a couple of times after that on the same ticket, but still no reply. It would be really nice if they solve this problem soon to be able to buy coins during the current global dip.

Thanks

AChain’s twitter says that they’ll start distributing the free ABTC on Jan 15th, but how can you know that the fork is already over and you can start selling your ACT without risking leaving early and losing some of those free coins?

On a side note, I agree  that this is a true hidden gem, probably the one with biggest potential vs current market cap that I’ve found, but I believe that it’s getting popular in China and they’re going to start their marketing campaign soon on western countries. This could easily get to a billion market cap sooner than we think, and that’s 5x of profit, let alone the potential of ABTC (which I believe is going to be a nice coin to invest in), and getting 1:1 of them on this first fork (this coin apparently will generare many forks in the future) was a no brainer for me. If ACT’s value drops after the end of the fork, I’m confident that it will recover soon, you just have to see that on Jan 12th the fork almost didn’t impact on its market cap an value. For the ones that don’t know about this coin, take a look at it, research, it’s a great opportunity, even if you didn’t make it to the fork (but in that case I would invest after the fork is done, trying to catch a dip).

On past hard forks (this is the first time I participate on one), how did you know that you could sell the coins without leaving early? When you received all of the new coins?

I'm not sure if I understood what you said correctly, but in fact this downtrend of ACT began a couple of days before the snapshot, at the same time that all altcoins began their dip. The hard fork began at block 1498888, which took place on 12nd Jan. If you look at ACT’s chart, you will see that the hf was barely noticeable (I was looking at a live chart on the exact moment of the snapshot, and the value decreased dramatically to almost half the value, but recovered in like 2 minutes). Since then, it has been going down like every other altcoin. So at least, in my opinion, the hf went very under the radar. You can't even see the typical rise in value before a snapshot because of people buying to get onboard, on the contrary, the value was already decreasing. Now the value of the coin is relatively stable. It's like the hf never happened, maybe because of few people knowing about it or because the project is very strong and hodlers hold. What happens when the fork is done, I don't know, probably the value will decrease, and then recover a little more slowly.

PS: Anyone knows when the fork is going to end, so if the price is good enough I can sell some ACT to diversify my portfolio again?

Let's see how this first fork from AChain goes. I read the same info somewhere else, that it's probable to see many hard forks from ACT in the future, and this article is saying the same thing.

I'm not willing to sell yet because I would assume a big loss, and I think this is only temporary. I'd buy more coins now if I could. I just wanted to know what could be the reasons for this dip, for learning purposes. It has lasted more than I was expecting. Bitcoin Diamond could be one of the reasons, but not enough to trigger this kind of global drop. Anyway, hope to get paid at my job soon so I can buy more altcoins before the dip is over 

For now, and almost all altcoins have gone down during this last week. Opus is a great project, maybe as soon as this global dip stops it'll rise again. Undervalued projects in my opinion, with very low market cap, and it's only on Hitbtc (which seems to repel people, I haven't had issues with it myself) and Etherdelta. Could really sky rocket if it gets to Kucoin or Cryptopia, let alone Binance. If I had some, I'd hodl, and if I had some funds, now could be a good time to invest in it.

I'm not worried at all because of this drop on almost all altcoins. In fact, if I had some funds I would buy several coins now before they rise again, but what do you think are the main reasons for this dip? Some coins have dropped to half their values and market cap, including very known and so far successful projects like PRL, Elixir, etc., and this dip has lasted several days (a little more than I was expecting). Just normal correction after months of green numbers? I just want to understand this a little better, but I'm not going to sell the coins I have now because of this.

I agree that this coin is very undervalued, even with its current market cap. When do you think it'll start to moon, if it does? I guess it's just a matter of when it starts to be known at western countries and when news like this one don't go so under the radar. On the other hand, it's already on Binance, Kucoin, Hitbtc and Etherdelta, so exposure on big exchange sites is already there. As soon as I have more funds, I'll invest on this one, but is there any other news coming that could make its value rise fast?

I have some extra funds and I'm having a hard time deciding if investing in PRL or Elixir, since all of my other funds are on ACT now waiting for the end of the hard fork. Both PRL and Elixir are really good projects and could be game changing, and still don't hit a major exchange site. Nice roadmap for both on Q1, and currently in a dip, with entry point prices that maybe won't be seen again after Jan. I think of PRL as a safer bet (testnet A is coming), but Elixir is very popular here and it has a very small market cap for what it is. Which one would you pick? When ACT's fork is done and I can sell some of it at good prices, I'll diversify and definitely will have both PRL and Elixir in my portfolio. Until then, I have to decide which coin has more potential to rise during this month.

ACT, Qlink, Elixir, MONK, LUX, Unify. Not that small market caps, but small considering the type of projects they are, their dev teams and roadmaps. I don't know if I would buy ACT now, though, since the hard fork snapshot already happened and could drop after the fork is done. In that particular case, I would wait for that tip and then invest. The others, I think are good investments now.

I agree that a fork is not a useful thing for the project itself, but this coin has a lot of potential with or without fork. It's a really ambitious project with very low market cap for what it is, just research a little about it and look at the partnerships it has. If/when it gets to a major exchange site and exposure at western countries improves, ACT could sky rocket. It kind of suprises me that it only has like 200 mil market cap, this could easily be a 1 billion market cap coin in the near future (I might be wrong, but hope not). If one day it gets listed on Binance or Bittrex for example, I would bet that its trading volume and market cap could 5x. Another good thing is that the fork itself went very under the radar, the coin's value didn't rise that much before the fork as it usually does. Even if the price drops a lot as soon as the fork is done, I don't see why ACT won't recover. It seems like not too much people knew about the hf.

One question, I didn't understand your statement so well. Why do you say that fork is not a big opportunity in this case? At least for investment and speculation, in my opinion it is, because like I said before I believe that the coin will recover from a possible drop in value, has a great future and in time could even become top10-20, and getting 1:1 free coins from a promising project like ABTC sounds like a very nice deal to me. In other words, after the fork is done, the ones that went in will have their original ACT (which you can hodl waiting for its recovery and then sell them if you want, but I would keep at least some as part of a good portfolio) and the same number of ABTC, which seems like a nice project that could sky rocket some day. From both coins point of view and their evolution maybe the fork is not useful, but for an investor and speculator I think it's a very nice opportunity. Just have to be prepared for a possible drop in value after it's done and hodl. And I'm not trying to convince anyone, since the snapshot already happened, so no point in advertizing it  

I had some XRB, but decided to sold them to be able to buy as much ACT before the fork as I could. After the fork is done, I'll diversify my portfolio again, and if by then XRB it's still not tradable at Binance, this is one of my first buying options. Don't want to miss that probable push.

Exactly my opinion, put together with better words  . I agree that we can't wait forever for this project to rise again, but at least we should hodl to see what happens when it's tradable at Binance. If that triggers a sky rocket, it might be too late to get onboard later.

I also don't know exactly how a whale thinks, but maybe they dump a lot when the project is going strong because that way they'll cause a dip (they know they are whales), and people are still going to invest in the project, so they buy again at cheaper prices after the dip they caused. If I were a whale and had to pick a project for that kind of strategy, I would pick one that everyone believes in, so a recovery is almost guaranteed.

You're right, but in my opinion these are the kind of projects worth investing in. If this hits bigger exchange sites and people start to know of its advantages, real life adoption might happen faster than you think. And then, maybe it'll be a little late to get onboard. Take into account that, before getting into Kucoin, it was only tradable on Bitgrail and Mercatox. And now it's coming to Binance. I won't hodl forever if this doesn't take off (more han it already has), but at least I'm waiting to see what happens when it starts to be tradable at Binance.

Honestly, with this coin I think getting onboard at less than a $1 per coin is almost a sure bet. Even if you didn't make it to the fork. Research about this project, look at its market cap and trading volume, and compare it with its potential and partnerships it has. Criminally under the radar, and shouldn't stay hidden for too long.
