It seems a given that opposition to SegWit2x is going bring us yet another fork of BitCoin in mid-November ... has anyone given this coin a name? Seems like Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold were named well in advance, to give people something to talk about. I've never heard an "official" name for the SegWit2x fork coin that's supposed to happen ... are both teams going try to claim they are the real "bitcoin"?

Let me be clear. I am not the guy who started this post. I didn't give up my private key or either key. I am the victim of same thief who also stole from the guy who post. I downloaded a file and installed block and chain folders and the pivx left immediately my wallet. Ten thousand pivx. I could put my conversation with pivx support team, they didn't want to provide me the email of the thief or no information whatsoever. I do not want to make FUD on pivx but this is the reality. The pivx is all collected in one account and the thief is staking. They told me to come with a court order to give me the thief address. They also asked if i am not the thief myself.
Were you getting advice from a user on Slack at the time it happened? Seems like the OP traced his loss back to a Slack user who pretended to be a developer and then stole his coins. |

Looks like I got an airdrop I didn't sign up for ... 0.01 "REGA Risk Sharing preICO Token". Anyone else see this on their Etherscan? Was this just some sort of forced airdrop token or something? Similar to what OMG did?
Well, since I now have it, anyone know anything about REGA Risk Sharing -- looks like some insurance token from their announcement here?

I am highly skeptical of state sponsored Cryptos. Seems like they would just be launching it for all the wrong reasons, like to monitor your transactions and have control of the block chain ... They'll probably make you register your wallet attached to your ID, so they can tax you on incoming payments. Basically, the opposite of why people like Cryptos.

Just a straight up guess ... I'll say $20. I don't think it's going to be pennies because there appears to be interest. Speculation is that Alt coins are declining and Bitcoin is rising because people want more free Bitcoin Gold ... selling Alts for BTC. So, maybe there is enough interest to inflate the price, plus, having GPU miners back in the mix is not a bad idea.

after reading many posts ppl downloading wallets just to get the address for airdrop and then having trojan, i will never download anything. they ask to download wallet and enter address just to sign up. The Deep Onion wallet is open source and is fully vetted, examined line by line for malicious code, and it is clean. You are right to be skeptical of any downloads related to Cryptos, though, lots of people are getting scammed by Trojans. Deep Onion is clean, though. |

Did anyone publish any guide on how to stake a DeepOnion wallet with a Raspberry Pi, so that staking does not require you to leave your computer on?
Yes, there are Raspberry PI tutorials at DeepOnion.org. And yes, you have to keep your PI on 24/7, which is fine because it only uses like 3 watts of electricity ... Probably less because the staking is pretty low intensity. But their are mixed report in the PI tutorials. Some can't get it to work. I'm going to give it a try at some point, from a fresh PI, and if I get it to work, I'll comment on the tutorials. |

We've all seen these junk ERC20 tokens being issued and airdropped, and if I understand correctly, they are smart contracts that operate on the Etherium block chain, basically sharing the chain with Ether. I don't understand how this isn't the same as spamming the block chain. Doesn't this slow down legitimate business, cause transfer prices to rise, etc? What am I missing?

The 100% fool proof way to be sure you can claim your BitCoin Gold is to keep it in a wallet where you control your private keys through the fork ... Like a desktop wallet. Don't keep it on an exchange unless the exchange has agreed to make your BitCoin Gold available to you. A few exchanges did this for BitCoin Cash, but I'm not aware of any exchange doing this to BitCoin Gold. I'm sure if an exchanges makes that announcement, it will get posted here.
The second most import thing to do, is after the fork, and after the BitCoin Gold Devs have made a wallet available, is move your Bitcoin away from the wallet where you held it during the split... Do this before you attempt to claim your BitCoin Gold. The reason is that when dealing your private keys to claim Bitcoin Gold, you may inadvertently expose your private keys to malware, which would result in both your BTC and BTG being stolen. Don't put both at risk.

1500 is amazing, and we are only about 1/3 through the airdrop. This thread is going to be legendary.

With the wallet I stake with, which is the Deep Onion wallet, you can check "unlock for staking only" when you enter your password. I'd hope other wallets have that feature, which prevents sends from initiated while it is unlocked. That, at least, reduces the risk that someone with access to your computer could directly steal your holdings.

Was there ever a serious push behind eBTC? White papers? Proposed upgrades? A road map? I won't call it a scam, because scam is most overused word on BTC. People say scam when what they really mean is "bad investement". You have to build community. You can just dump an airdrop overnight and expect anything more than a race to the exchanges. There are a people who talk bad about Deep Onion on this board, but they are trying to use airdrops to build a serious community, over a period of 40 weeks. If it doesn't work, it won't be for a lack of trying.

I am also interested in this answer.
I have my BTC at Exodus and Kraken. What should we do?
Exodus will work just fine. You can export your Bitcoin private keys from Exodus (there is a secret developer's menu, Alt Shift D) , then import them into a BitCoin Gold Wallet. It is advisable, though, to move your original bitcoins away from that wallet before you the same private key to claim your Bitcoin Gold, just in case it's a scam wallet ... If Kraken is not supporting the BitCoin Gold fork, then you need to move them off of that exchange before the fork. |

1. Likelihood of continued development (I.e roadmap, white papers, dev. Updates)
2. Distribution Model (I.e widely spread ownership)
3. Added value (I.e. Focused on something innovative and new, like a method of privacy, or new tech features).

I'd say the reason is that a lot coins don't serve a purpose. Bitcoin is the dominant currency ... coin established just to be currency will most likely fail quickly, unless there is something new about them, like upgraded privacy. There you have Monero and few competitors. It's one of the reasons I'm supporting Deep Onion, it's new angle on privacy, so I think it has a better than average chance to survive.
Then you have all the coins trying to use block chain advance a technology.... file storage, lending, gambling, banking, etc, etc. There is a lot of good innovation going on there, too, and that's an area where if you pick the winner for it's sector, you could have a good run.

I keep an envelope in my safe of my private keys, passwords, and instructions on how to recover wallets. I figure someone in my family will find it if I die. Putting it in a will is not a bad idea, but I have to wonder if it safe since wills are often reviewed and handled by lawyers and their staff ... you may be exposing your info to god knows who.

I thought I'd give this thread a bump in support of the outstanding job Exodus is doing. If you are not aware, they have an "unsupported" version called "Eden" http://www.exodus.io/eden/ which is basically their testing ground for new coins to be added to exodus. It's a use at your own risk type of release. In addtion to what's on Exodus, Eden has added a few big names, like Bitcoin Cash, Ripple, Etherium Classic, Factom, and a few ERC20 tokens not yet supported by Exodus ... Ox, Digix, Metal, Storj, etc.... Here is the full list. Definitely my favorite wallet. Exodus Eden Supported Assets 0x (ZRX) Aragon (ANT) Augur (REP) Basic Attention Token (BAT) Bancor (BNT) Bitcoin (BTC) Bitcoin Cash (BCH) Civic (CVC) Dash (DASH) Decred (DCR) DigixDAO (DGD) District0x (DNT) EOS (EOS) Ethereum Classic (ETC) Ethereum (ETH) Factom (FCT) FirstBlood (1ST) FunFair (FUN) Gnosis (GNO) Golem (GNT) Litecoin (LTC) Metal (MTL) OmiseGo (OMG) QTUM (QTUM) Ripple (XRP) Salt (SALT) Status (SNT) Storj (STORJ) Wings (WINGS) |

I Havethe key. So how would I restore the coins? Would I need to set up a new wallet? I am so confused by all this. Do I need the original wallet in order to access my ripple coins?
Try this. First link is instructions on how to restore a lost wallet if you have an existing secret key. Yes, it does look like you will need to install a new wallet on a working computer, then use a restore wallet feature to sync your coins to this wallet. Also, because Ripple is highly centralized, it looks like Ripple allows you to recover your secret key by providing your info ... Second link. A couple of links I found. http://www.btcpedia.com/create-new-ripple-wallet-with-secret-key/https://id.ripple.com/auth/migrate |
