[Guide] Handling splits: UASFs, BIP148, etc.

Great, thanks so much for the info.
I've downloaded Electrum and going to proceed to transfer my BTC out of Coinbase.
(have more questions now about Electrum wallet options ... but will find the right place on the forum to post)
regards

I too downloaded electrum and moved my coinbase balance. Please keep updated about how you guys are handling the situation.

I second Electrum Wallet as well. One of the best features is that it will also integrate with hardware wallets like Ledger Nano S, and Trezor.

does BTC transfers works normally now?
up to what day before 1 August it is safe to make BTC transfer, will I be able to send BTC on 28/29 July?

Make sure your that the any send or receive transaction have 6 confirmations, due increased risk of confirmations disappearing.

and when they don't get 6 confirmations, is something that I can do?

Because of the unexpected and unwanted Bitcoin fork at August 1st, aka Bitcoin Cash (BCC) shitcoin, looks like a few people is trying to manipulate the market to rebuy cheap real Bitcoin in the near future, why do things right if they can cause caos instead, things are gonna get crazy because of this BCC trash.

thank you for the explanation

so now split is going to happen

They are clearly showing that they can control the market in either way

now what to do sell the btc or what to do or wait ?

From any news source you came with this information. It is clear so far that there will be a split, and will be two - six bitcoin forks.

Thank you for this guide.. working through it now so I have a better understanding of the upcoming changes with BTC/BCC

thank for this helpfull infos

I don't have experience, i want to know, how is Ethereum goint to support this challenge?

Thank you for this guide.

First off thanks hugely for this guide! Truly helped piece a lot of the puzzle together with this upcoming madness.

That being said if we transferred our BTC to a hardware wallet will we receive identical amount of BCC there too? Or are there steps we need to take to make sure this happens? Kind of sucks that a fork is going to occur but its better than the UAHF I think

Thank you very much, we will keep in mind Kiss

If I use electrum wallet, how do I claim my altcoin?

You can read all electrum news and update at Child Boards: Alternative clients - electrum , and here is the link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=98.0

If i transfer my bitcoin to a paper wallet created by bitaddress.org, I should be good correct?

I send the btc to blockchain.info and instantly get it out of there on a paper wallet.

I do not trust blockchain.info to store for longer than a few seconds its just very convenient to use for the paper wallet.

what altcoins? there are different ones. usually when they do an airdrop (giveaway) they require you to sign a message from your keys. go to your address tab (press Ctrl+A to see it if you don't) and right click on any address you have a balance in and click sign a message. the rest is clear.

for the particular altcoin called BCC (bitcoin cash) things get a bit complicated. depending on what they will do for replay protection there are multiple ways to protect the BCC tokens and receive them as fast as possible to sell while it is worth something.
the good news is you don't need to sign message, your will have the same amount there too. but the bad news is if you don't use the replay protection stuff you will lose that airdrop https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/56867/bitcoin-cash-replay-protection/56874
the best thing is to wait until then to see even if it happens or not. then surely there will be a walkthrough to claim them easier for beginners.
