coinfloor down for maintenance

"Throughout today (1st August 2017) and specifically around 12:00 UTC (1 PM BST) there will be periods of downtime as we perform upgrades in preparation for the hard fork."

Kraken is down. Coinfloor has no problems at all

thank you for the report. Would be nice if everyone could describe his experience with the exchanges. A review during time of stress.

KRAKEN DOWN
BITTREX WORKING but no BCC yet!!!

so for now Bittrex>kraken ?

NO I was already logged in... a friend is trying to logon to Bitrex but cannot

Oh I remember bitfury.

What do you mean?

Is this the forked block? https://blockchain.info/block/00000000000000000018b9fcd7833e3bdadd6f0ea790a507457f47abac051da6

When median time reaches 12:20 UTC (a little while, wait) and a block bigger than 1MB is formed, the fork begins. Neither of those things have happened yet. Keep in mind the network median time always lags behind so it is technically not 12:20 yet.

I don't get the median time stuff, the countdowns are over, the bitcointalk time is now 12:39, why isn't the average time also 12:20?
I expected the split already, looking at the alts markets, others did too!  I guess some jumped the gun as the fork hasn't happened yet.

I wonder how many other people are frantically hitting f5 a lot today!

Median time is like Network Time- It is never usually the same as the time that we are on for many reasons. Give it ~30 minutes and we will be on our way. Traders always sell early, not much of a surprise to me. It will likely go down more as the real traders start to dump.

Bittrex / Poloniex / HitBTC worked fine for me

What do you mean?

they finally found a block cos hashrate is so low

[bitserve]

This is some shitty volatility. It's not what I signed for.

Some guys jumped the gun. This probably isn't even the beginning as the order books are so thin the price could drop like a stone if it is allowed to.

They are regularly finding blocks. Hashrate is anything but LOW

[Tmdz]

So many people coned into buying btc at inflated prices to get BCC and now its down $200.

It has way less resistance on the upside.

[Wexlike]

5 more regular blocks and then 1 ABC block with a size > 1MB to go until the HF happens.

Code:

Current median time: 1501585575
HF needed median time: 1501590000

I chose waiting tactics. Im reluctant to believe there will be fast free money drop on every bitcoin holder.
It just can't work like that.

This is Bitcoin! In Bitcoin it works just like that!
Since 2009 every bitcoin holder has free money drop.

Ver and Wu are willing to advertise their ego upon us. And they are willing to pay. As far as they pay high enough they'll have part of my attention.

Lets see how deep are their pockets and bank accounts

Well according to the Bitcoin Fork Monitor, it will be an hour until the median time is 12:20, then they will have to find a large block and mine one, so it could well be 14:00 real UTC before the split actually happens.

People could have done very well buying alts low, selling them now for BTC and getting BTC and BCC at a higher rate in an hour or so when it forks!  I considered piling into alts, but didn't want to have so much money on exchanges at this time.

Next hour could be last chance to buy under $3k ...

You mean a measly 5% volatility from peak to peak?

[micky123]

BCC available on Bittrex, but i cannot do anything with it atm!

Edit: Does this mean the fork has happened?

Does any one know how to export private keys from blockchain.info wallet to a wallet that supports BCC?
