[PRE-ANN][BCC]- Bitcoin Cash (BitcoinABC) - Airdrop on Aug 1st 2017

[TimeTeller]

This isn't an airdrop, it's a fork.
Its an intentional fork away from Bitcoin to create a new crypto currency called BitcoinCash (BCC), all the coins and their addresses are effectively in both chains at the time of the fork.
If you have the private keys to those addresses, you will own the coins in both forks.

So if you have 2 BTC in your own wallet before the fork, after the fork you will have 2BTC and 2BCC. You can spend on either chain, but unless something is put in place to prevent a replay attack, transactions from one chain can simply be copied by anyone to the other chain, and the transactions will then be mirrored there.

It is very likely that the value of your 2BTC + 2BCC after the fork will be less than the value of 2BTC before the fork.
 

So exciting how things will turn out come this Aug 1.
Everyone in crypto is watching, speculating, betting, not sleeping, etc... 
So better secure your BTC first, and then, treat as bonus if you are getting this bitcoincash.

For me it's unclear if...

1) BitcoinABC/Cash will only be created if BIP91/Segwitx2 will not get enough support, or

2) if BitcoinABC/Cash will split in any case


Does anybody know for sure how it will be/what will happen?


Second question: Is it meant seriously or just a strategic move to support the NY-agreement, to avoid support for an UAHF?

The answer is #2. They will use an NON-Segwit client with 8mb block size. Basically, it is a New Alt Coin with Bitcoin protocol.
If you want to claim their coins you have to use their client with your Bitcoin private key.
Please remember not to send coins to the wrong wallet, your transaction will be rejected, however, the coin will be lost forever.

I think we should spread the word about this wonderful project on other social media platforms apart from facebook,
twitter and this forum, bounty or no bounty for this to be a success as pre-token sales draws nearer.

Can I get more information about this project?

I believe the coins have come out yet. How come they are already being exchanged  at  viabtc.com?

I really don't think that BTC will split ... Unnecessary Chaos !
