Approximately 3 hours more before segwit activation happens, we shall witness some big change in bitcoin.
I wonder if bitcoin will achieve new ATH today, or go back to $3000, who knows.

......how long until BCH needs to fork off again?  Maybe with the next boom period which may be coming soon, the emergency adjustments will bring the difficulty so low, that they will totally derail in a mire of orphans and reorgs. They already have 4 emergency difficulty adjustments locked in, coming up on a 5th. We will see. The emergency difficulty adjustments should come in a day or two, depending on whether the magical mystery miner decides to start helping the chain along again. |

Tonight might be more of a historic moment then we all realize.
O.k. I will bite. How, newbie (possible troll)?  |

Why not just hodl the BTC in a hardwallet and you can play the trading game with BCH..  ^^^--- Exactly. Free Internet Fun-bucks to play with, or hodl, or, whatever. It's more of a case of if through some magical unicorn comes along and fucks everything up and BCH somehow becomes the one on top then I'd have lost the chance to have 1 (i.e not all my eggs in one basket) While it's unlikely, there is still the "chance" however rare that might be. The world is utterly fucked as you well know at this moment and it doesn't half make you feel like anything could happen. (Because for the most part the general public are utter morons.) |

What happens if BCH never finds a block again? They have been stalled for a long fucking time - maybe fewer than 15 blocks have been found in the past 24 hours - something like that. |

They have magical mystery miner to come to the rescue. Unless JU has decided to abandon the whole thing. But I doubt it. |

How is the world more fucked than it was last year? (as opposed to "at this moment") (Rhetorical - because it isn't - if you were paying attention last year (and quite a few before then) it was already fucked) (Once again.... rhetorical) (Sorry back on topic)(Somewhat agreed on the general public) |

Have Xapo and Coinbase and such released their BCH's to users yet? I'm sure there will be a pump before that happens. And a monumental dump when they do.
Gemini and Stamp have not released the BCH on their service, either.... For nearly 2 weeks, Uphold has release the BCH (so it shows up in member accounts), but you cannot do anything with the BCH, yet. That's a lot of stuck fun bucks. |

But I was just being stereotypical, everybody loves a madman Another thing since I missed out on $1k BCH I feel like $600 is just isn't worth selling (incase it hit 1k again) thanks to the mystery miner. |

Someone will have to play the hero and start paying higher fees to make it attractive to mine. If the block reward doesn't cut it, you'll have to make mining attractive through increased fees. But since block space is ample in BCH, nobody has to pay any serious fees and consequently, the fee-incentive just ain't there for the miners. In BTC vs BCH mining race, yesterday, BCH was effectively competing for 12.5 BCH vs 17.5 BTC (because BTC fees were reaching 5+). In the years to come, takeover attempts like 2x will be completely futile because the block reward will be insignificant compared to fees. The users will effectively decide the miner reward based on transaction fees, since block reward will have been reduced to a lower level of 6 or 3 btc. It won't be possible to enforce any chain that users don't want to use since it will produce no mining revenue from tx fees. No use, no txs, no tx fees, no miner reward except basic block reward (=too little). |

Segway.
Did I miss any free coins between Clams and BCH? I know I missed some Byteballs. Anything else?

Bitcore. Another bitcoin fork. Distribution is based on a snapshot taken in April I think. |

Guys, i had 100 bitcoin on polo and made sure, that i didn´t lend out on 01.08. 13:16 UTC, and transfered all to my exchange account before that date, on 31.07.2017.
I got 3.8 BCC credited for my 100 bitcoin !
Turns out, that my lending on Polo went on through that time (history-lending).
So, the persons who lended from me have 96.2 BCC, which is a lot of money, as of now.
I suspect it´s employees of polo, they can´t keep their fingers off of it.
Careful with polo, guys !
