I deposited BTC0.5 at bittrex and did not receive 0.5 extra Bcash. How do I claim my Bcash?
You can't anymore. They updated the BCC balance of everybody that had Bitcoin on their wallets at the moment of the fork. If you had BTC 0.5 on your BitTrex account before the fork they would give you 0.5 BCC.
But if you had those coins on your wallet before August 1st, maybe you still have Bitcoin Cash on your address. Check out this guide[1] [1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2054046.0

Just like said above, your private key never leaves the Trezor hardware, which means that it's impossible to get your coins stolen by a malware on your computer. They sign your transaction in the hardware and broadcast through your computer/smartphone. While, if you use an desktop wallet and store your private keys in a file on your computer or flash drive, a simple malware can copy your files, get your password with a keylogger and steal all your coins. From TREZOR Community Manager: When you set up your Trezor, your seed is not communicated to the computer. In fact, no confidential information is ever sent to the computer. All calculations using the private keys are done in Trezor, and it only sends the result to the computer. That's why you don't really need to set up/use Trezor on a safe computer. https://www.reddit.com/r/TREZOR/comments/51nt2l/is_trezor_safe_to_install_in_an_infected_computer/d7dz54s/

Who banned you from joining sig campaigns? The campaign you were advertising yourself? -snip-
He's probably talking about the recent ban wave that theymos applied to people joining the "Decentraland" bounty and posting in the ANN thread to earn Bitcoins, which is against the rules. This means that he can't apply a signature for 1 month. SourceIf your banned in signature campaign, can you join an avatar campaign?
I would say that you can. You just can't wear a signature for 1 month for breaking the rules. But most campaigns will require you to join the signature campaign aswell before getting paid a bonus to wear the avatar. (I'm not 100% sure btw)

I wouldn't trust my private key on an online tool that isn't open source.
Why don't you upload your code to GitHub so people can download and run locally? Otherwise I recommend everybody to avoid using this website since it would mean that this tools is a blatant scam made to steal people's coins.
Please reconsider, OP.

I just received the Ledger Nano S and to my surprise there is no Desktop app, is the only way to access the wallet via Chrome app?
Not really. Read my answer bellow. Do I have to install chrome just so I can use the ledger? I run mac. Also is there a iOS app so I can have the coins with me on my phone?
If you want to use the official wallet from Ledger, you will need Chrome. But you can use Ledger with other supported wallets like: Electrum[1] for Windows. Mycelium[2] for Android/IOS. And AFAIK there is no standalone wallets that support Ledger for MAC. So the private key is like the key to my coins right? And the public key is how people can send my coins etc?
Yes. Send your public key (address) to people so they can send you coins and keep your private key safe. If I buy coins off of Kraken, how do I then send them to my wallet (Ledger or Exodus)? Will I receive a private or public key with my purchase, I really don't understand. Or is the private and public key saved within the Wallet itself? And what do people mean by importing or exporting private keys?
Request a withdraw from Kraken and put your public key (address). Your coins will be sent to your wallet. The private key is the one that you can't show to anyone or they will be able to spend your coins. Exporting/Importing keys are used to use your private key that contains all your coins in other wallet softwares.

I believe that the safer is the BitcoinABC node itself. But you would require to download the whole blockchain before making use of the software. Or I would recommend you to do the following process posted by Electrum team: Therefore, users who want to run the Electron Cash binaries should do it on a separate same machine, that does not have their Bitcoin wallet. We recommend to proceed as follows:
1. Install Electrum Cash on a machine that does not have your Electrum wallets.
2. Wait until the BCC hard fork has taken place, and a few BCC blocks have been mined.
3. Move all your Electrum funds to a new Electrum wallet. This will move only your BTC, and not your BCC, because the BCC blockchain has replay protection. Wait until the transaction is confirmed.
4. Enter the seed of your (now empty) old wallet or private keys in Electron Cash. Since the BTC have been moved to a new wallet, entering your old seed in Electron Cash will not put your BTC funds at risk.
Following these 4 easy steps you will be able to access your BCC without compromising your BTC.

I believe that you won't get your BCC anymore. Coinbase posted an announcement last week saying that they wouldn't support the Bitcoin Cash chain and that you should withdraw your coins out of their wallets if you wanted to get them after the fork. Now that the fork already happened, if you take your coins to an external wallet, you will only receive Bitcoins on the legacy chain. Could you confirm that? The 0.0171 BTC on the transaction is probably only Coinbase sending the change[1] of the transaction to their same wallet. That's not how the fork works. You would receive the same amount of 0.05 that can be spent on both chains. [1] https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Change

For getting BTC off the Kraken exchange: can someone confirm this is done with funding=>withdrawal?
Yes. Then just follow what is written in the screen. Put your BTC address and it's done. For selling BCH, I suppose it's just opening an order. If not, let me know please.
Open a sell order with the amount of BCH you want to sell and the price.

Yes. Wallets are just interfaces managing your address in the Bitcoin network from your private key.
Every transaction will be updated in every present and future wallet you use.

What do you mean with "lose their value"?
If you have X bitcoins in the address which private key is printed on the paper, you can sweep those coins to a new wallet. You will not lose anything other than the fees for the transaction.
If you are talking about the equivalent amount of Bitcoin worth $50 from two years ago. It should be worth a lot more today. You will receive the Bitcoins you had from those years, and not the amount worth $50 today.

Just to complete jackg's reply: You can find all the main wallets that support BCC in this page[1] [1] https://www.bitcoincash.org/
Btw, there are reports about Electron Cash maybe having a malware build in the software. So you should be carefull if you want to try out them. I would use a VM or Sandbox to make your life safer. Of course those reports haven't been confirmed, so it could be a false positive.

Just put your Bitcoin Address.
As the name says, this is the address you will be receiving your coins back if there is any issues while exchanging your coins for another.

Does mycelium accept the fork for BCC? Having trouble withdrawing from bitstamp. Asking for 2 step verification but no key is provided to start the process. Very confused. Cementhead43
Not at the moment. I would recommend you to use an desktop wallet to do transactions related to the BCC chain while there is none. You can find all the main wallets supporting BCC in this page: https://www.bitcoincash.org/

I believe that Exodus doesn't support ERC20 tokens at the moment. Export your address private key and import in a wallet that does (e.g: MyEtherWallet) I found this video that explain the whole process to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmy0qWPVqRc

I really don't see where you guys are having issues to understand how the mixing process works.
IMO the whole process is quite easy to understand just by reading the "How to use it" text. Care to specify where are you having difficulties?
You deposit X, you split this amount in multiple chips (addresses). You "withdraw" those addresses as private keys, import on your wallet and spend. I actually understood after reading for the first time.
Anyway, If anybody wants some help, I am always available. Just PM me.

MPREP account is fine. Your thread got locked because you broke the rules. What did you not understand from his post on your thread? ATTENTION: Due to the bounty incentivising posting on the ANN thread (which is an on-forum altcoin giveaway in any and all definitions), this thread is locked. There is zero tolerance for those blatantly breaking the "no on-forum altcoin giveaways" rule.
But we do not violate any rules! Then I saw ~100 threads banned, and it looks like today rules were changed or mprep account is hacked.
No rules were changed. Make sure to read all of them before making those claims. From 2014: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=434310.0-snip-
Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

How do these scammers do this so successfully? So they replicate the real site with an almost-identical URL. But how do they get it indexed on Google's search page?
They are paying Google to show their ads, making them to be the first option when you search for Bitmixer. People will just trust the first link they see, and believe that the website is indeed legit.
