teach me how to dump

If by now if you dont know it then you dont need it. It takes so much fund to cause a dump

still no fork?

1 hour to go (around 6 blocks):

More precisely: 6 blocks to go before we can start building a fork (around 1 hour).

Block 478553 was the first block with a timestamp past 12:20 UTC.  If the next 6 blocks have timestamps past this point then the last of these blocks will have MTP past 12:20 UTC and we can start looking.

The question is: how much of Bitcoin's hashrate will be put to looking for the first Bitcoin Cash block?

Hopefully very little.

Bitcoin Cash will launch in about five blocks.

You might have heard that the controversial fork is scheduled for 12:20 UTC on August 1, but the story is a little more complicated than that.

The launch doesn’t trigger right as a block is mined after that time. Rather, the activation is based on Median Time Past, which means that the median timestamp of the last 11 blocks must be over 12:20 UTC. In other words, six blocks need to be mined after the original block past that time.

At press time, the last two bitcoin blocks, mined by Bitfury and ViaBTC, were both under 1 MB.

I have few on Bittrex, but trades are not active yet. Are we are going to wait that particular block now, or they gonna start trading before? We had chance to see few countdown timers, they were inaccurate or what?

1 block left!!

Guys I wish you a very soft splitting

[jc12345]

12:16. Lets see what happens...

Best practices to be safe on the fork. Hopefully this will help some people that are still confused:

1-    Wait until after the fork when a few BCC blocks have been mined. There is no hurry, you can wait a day, a week, e
tc. Copy the BTC private key where you have your BTC funds.

2-    Move all your bitcoin BTC to a new wallet with a new private key. BCC has replay protection, so you will be able
to move your BTC without moving your BCC.

3-    Wait until your Bitcoin BTC is confirmed in the new wallet. Be sure to complete steps 1-3 before moving to step 4
.

4-    Install a Bitcoin Cash (BCC) wallet and enter the private keys of the original wallet (the wallet you just moved
your Bitcoin BTC out of). To be maximally safe, the BCC wallet should be installed on a different machine than the one
that has your new Bitcoin BTC wallet on it. You can find a list of BCC wallets on the Bitcoin Cash website.

5-    This step isn’t necessary, but as a final step you may want to move your BCC to a new BCC wallet with a new priva
te key, just to help ensure you don’t mistake your BCC wallet address for the BTC address it used to be.

What bitcoin cash will plan the launch of the application for mobile users?

[junan1]

1 block left!!

Yes.  Block #478558 should activate the UAHF rules.

Edit: And it's just arrived!

[xalyy]

So is it live now? 

[junan1]

So is it live now?  

The rules are live (in a sense).  The next step is to build a block greater than 1 MB in size, extending block #478558.

In other words.. People should make a ton of transactions.

#Bitcoin: Current height: 478559, #bitcoincash: Current height: 478558 - has it forked?

[junan1]

Ha!  The first block that could have started the Bitcoin Cash fork was actually mined by ViaBTC, and it's 272 kB in size.

I know that they're giving their miners the choice but this is comical in its irony.

Yes it has, and there are now enough tx in Bcash mempool to mine a >1MB block

So, yeah, it happened.

Another confirmation (from Bcash chain)

Code:

$ bitcoin-cli getchaintips

    "status": "invalid"
  },

How can i receive BCC by use the electrum wallet?Do I just send my bitcoin to the electrum wallet and bitcoin cash will come automatically in my electrum wallet?

Its a seperate unrelated electrum cash wallet. Makesure you withdraw your bitcoin n send it to a new wallet! you would need your previous seed from electrum to enter to electrum cash wallet n you should see your Bitcoin Cash there. You probably need to install electrum cash.

And it begins...

GL to you all and hopefully the fork goes as planned unlike every other coin to date... but maybe one day...

Please listen to those who have been here a long time, they have repeatedly warned everyone to be careful with your privkeys. Even Satoshi knew from the start... NEVER DELETE A WALLET!!!! Essentially that means never abuse or expose your privkeys.

Lets see what happens today!
