This hard fork is to do a change to the retarget algorithm. It is not a contentious hard fork. It is meant as a software upgrade and not to split off into two coins. If you are using a wallet, you must update your wallet. The old wallets won't recognize the new difficulty algorithm, so won't accept the new blocks as valid. Wallets that do not upgrade are likely to find themselves on a worthless chain. It probably will be a frozen chain, too, since I expect all of the pools and major miners will have updated their software.

Thanks for the advise. I'll look into getting a better power supply. I already tried to set my memory to +600 and was having issues. currently, I am at +350 and will keep pushing it little by little to see how far that I can take it.

As with any software, there is always the possibility of some vulnerability lurking about. I have heard that it may be possible to rollback the Segwit transactions and reward the attacker via a 51% attack. However, any coins you hold, segwit or not, are vulnerable to being lost in a 51% attack. So whatever. I really do not see any big player wanting to implement a 51% anyway since the market is not liquid enough to help them make a huge profit by shorting before the attack is implemented. I would think after a successful attack, BTC would be basically worthless anyway. So the attacker could not possibly profit from dumping any ill gotten gains. I doubt any big player would be willing to expend millions if not billions just to destroy BTC outright. If they wanted to do this to divert equity away from BTC to some other asset market, it's likely to not divert enough equity to their pet asset to make such an attack profitable.

Slush Pool allows its miners to designate what signal they want when they happen to get the block. The vast majority of Slush blocks do not signal for NYA.

Let's hope that this reflects the actual sentiment of independent miners. That may be a stretch though since Slush himself is not exactly thrilled with S2X, so his pool probably attracts a larger portion of miners with the same sentiment. Furthermore, I am sure the default setting is probably no NYA signal.

WTF dude? My main complaint about BCH has always been about the effects the EDA had on the mining. I always thought the "vulture miners" were independent miners. I also think the magical mystery miners are farms controlled by Jihan. However, with the BCH hardfork coming up, my main objection to BCH may be eliminated. It appears that my objections to the EDA have been spot on since the BCH development team is in total agreement and fixing it.
Also, I think some of my posts lately have been rather pro Bitcoin Cash. After all, I compared the upcoming segwit hardfork to the sinking of the Titanic and stated BCH could be compared to a life boat.
So give this skeptic a little slack, Bro.  

Those GPUs are not going to make you a profit at all, unless you can get free electricity.  Those GPUs only have 16 Cuda cores each. GTX 1070 has 1920 cores. Plus the speed is very much lower than the more up to date chips. I project your hashing power will be less than 1% of what the 1070 is getting. You'll be lucky to make 1 cent per unit per day with free electricity.

The better news is you may be able to get 265h/s with cryptonight for the CPU. You may be able to score 50 cents a day per unit with free electricity.

You know, with the S2X fork, just because the pool operators are signaling doesn't mean the independent miners are going to stick around and actually mine the S2X fork. The independent miners are not serfs. They are free to point their hash to any pool they like. You think many independent miners are going to stick to a pool mining S2X fork, if it's more profitable to mine on the original chain? Sure, I know Jihan and friends have huge farms. However, Jihan and friends are already devoting at least 500 PH to keep BCH above water. How much more do they have to devote to S2X?
Ver and DCG better pump this S2X up if they expect this to succeed at all.

Just wondering, is it possible to mine Cryptonight with my EVGA gtx 1070 and lessen the lag? I cranked this up and my computer became unusable. So far, my google searches have come up with "Mine Equihash algo" if you still want to enjoy your computer.   Sorry for the newb question, but I just got this computer the other day. My last computer only had an AMD 7570, so I didn't GPU mine much at all. This is going to be quite the leaning curve.

Edit:Ok, I figured out how to set the intensity, down to B=10. Still lags, but more tolerable.  I tried to lower the tpb to 16, but was getting errors of share difficulty too low. However, not sure this is even worth mining at  B=10.  Any suggestions?

Did you have Bitcoin on August 1st? If so, you already have Bitcoin Cash. If no Bitcoin, then you either have to buy it on the exchanges or mine it. Bitcoin Cash is being traded on almost every exchange out there.

I ran out of BTC on GDAX 2 days ago at 7147. It would be nice to buy back .01 BTC for 68XX. However, the majority of my holdings are parked in my Trezor. So the benefit of being able to buy back less than 1% of my portfolio for a few bucks cheaper would pale in comparison to the larger loss in value to my overall portfolio. Besides, I just got a new computer with a GTX 1070. I'll be able to increase my portfolio little by little mining shitcoins.   Maybe mine BTG, when it gets released.

I was thinking of moving a little bit more BTC to Gdax, but I'm too busy playing with my new computer to be bothered making micro trades on Gdax.

You should always read the fine print.  

And I thought that I was the legendary minnow. 

Come on BEARS!! Short this shit to the ground! We need more short squeezes!

Yes, the two pieces of the ship are the segwit x1 chain and the segwit x2 chain. BCH is a lifeboat. This upcoming segwit chain hardfork will truly test if BTC is unsinkable or not.(I hope BTC is indeed anifragile.) The iceberg is refusal by both sides to implement strong replay protection.

The generals(pool operators) may all be signaling, but the mercenaries(independent miners) are free to switch to whatever side they care to. As demonstrated with BCH, many independent miners are going to switch to what is profitable. The independent miners are not serfs bound to their lords....

OK, this is the gpu that I received. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b3999/evga-gtx-1070
I'm trying to tinker with MSI Afterburner.
Unfortunately, My card is now running on 80 C with fan at 60%. The whine is starting to bother me..
I am getting only 410 sol/s with Equihash using Excavator 1.3.5a. Here are my other settings.

Power:80
Core:100
Memory:175

I have tried to set the memory high, but notice that the GPU crashes if I push it too far.
Perhaps I am not built for mining. The whine from the fan is like scratching on a blackboard to me...Will I get used to it?

You can go here to find out how much your account is worth. https://www.bctalkaccountpricer.info/
Just checked mine. Mine is worth 0.19880000 BTC.  NOT FOR SALE!
@Torque They probably want your legendary account to either scam people, launch a shitcoin, or get paid a premium with signature campaigns.

Just remember, the Titanic was one of the biggest ships in the ocean at the time too.  

Here's a list of Wallets that can interact with your Trezor. Some are watch only.
