1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Best practices to be safe after the bitcoin cash fork on: August 01, 2017, 02:36:43 PM
I try to be clear and concise, hopefully this will help some people.

1-    Wait until after the fork when a few BCH (bitcoin cash) blocks have been mined. There is no hurry, you can wait a day, a week, etc. Copy the BTC private key where you have your BTC funds.

2-    Move all your bitcoin BTC to a new wallet with a new private key. BCH has replay protection, so you will be able
to move your BTC without moving your BCH.

3-    Wait until your Bitcoin BTC is confirmed in the new wallet. Be sure to complete steps 1-3 before moving to step 4.

4-    Install a Bitcoin Cash (BCH) wallet and enter the private keys of the original wallet (the wallet you just moved
your Bitcoin BTC out of). To be maximally safe, the BCH wallet should be installed on a different machine than the one
that has your new Bitcoin BTC wallet on it. You can find a list of BCH wallets on the Bitcoin Cash website.

5-    This step isn’t necessary, but as a final step you may want to move your BCH to a new BCH wallet with a new private key, just to help ensure you don’t mistake your BCH wallet address for the BTC address it used to be.

3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Poll: What do you think will happen with bitcoin in August after the fork on: July 26, 2017, 10:56:50 PM
Some people that are not living under a rock know that bitcoin is going to hard fork come August first. After two weeks, when the dust settles we should have more clarity on the results of this split of the blockchain. I want to poll all BitcoinTalk members to see their perspective on this fork. Do you see gloom and doom or do you see opportunity and exciting times coming.
