@Hyperme.sh, how can regular BTC users protect themselves from SegWit coins? I use Electrum, and most of my bitcoins are older than the start of SegWit, but how can I check the status of bitcoins transferred into my Electrum wallet since SegWit started?

Is there a way to 'de-SegWit' bitcoins, maybe by sending to myself in an old wallet? I take your advice seriously, and want to avoid having my stash SegWitled away by miners.

This is all I know, and I don’t know much about Bitcoin wallets. Hopefully someone else can offer better insights.

The point of discussing is to crowd source information.

I'm sort of freaking about this possibility now, and dble freaking at the lack of freaking out by most other crypto users.

Thanks for explaining the risks at play!!

@Klone

I also wanted to check if my BTC were "segwitted" or not - took me a while, but finally stumbled on this: http://srv1.yogh.io 
Hope you find it helpful.


@Hyperme.sh: Thank you very much for all your analysis - admittedly, it takes me a long time to go over it, but I truly appreciate it.  Rooting for your work: hope to see that soon.

Let those guys make another altcoin and to be honest it is good for many who holds Bitcoin to get free of those coins. It may cause of decline of value for real Bitcoin for temporary period but good recovery on the other side. It isn't bad to receive when it is totally free. i am ready to make some money with these BCC coins.
Not quite true dude. There is no such thing as a free lunch Grin
Let us pretend that you have 100 BTC and get 100 bcc for free as you think. So far so good. Now the funny part begins. You sell 100 of your FREE BCC at 100 usd per coin let us say. What the hell you are making 10K usd for free right?All of a sudden you do realize that you have ZERO BTC left in your wallet. Imagine that BTC value at this moment is around 2100 usd. You are at 200K USD loss just to get and trade 100 free bcc and earn 10K free? I bet this is a deal you can not resist Grin
And a lot of folks will do it just because it is free right Wink without knowing what they are doing but just because it is free.
Nothing comes for free in life!!!!
Some of us learn it in school - easy way
Some of us learn it loosing money-hard way
But once lesson is learned you are good to go with free stuff flooded everywhere in this forum and in general

Sorry if this obvious, but why would selling these 100 BCC result in selling the BTC as well? (wouldn't the BTC be on another fork, hence different and unrelated to the BCC?)

Yes it could be the timing problem. I sent it 30 min ago. I realized it must be after 17.00 eest. Every transaction sending eth to that address is cancelled for the same reason. So most likely insurex regain control. Not sure though.

Could also be due to the gas price (GWEI) as well, not only to gas limit.
