[ANN] Bitcoin Cash - Pro on-chain scaling - Cheaper fees

[tintumon]

"BCC" is already used by another coin.

We need something like a dns for all the coin names.Why is not anyone starting a project for centralised coin naming to avoid these kind of issues.

A search on https://coinmarketcap.com/ and a google search of "(your ticker name) bitcointalk" is sufficient.

Also please stop using that ticker as it is confusing others due to an altcoin already using it with a 400 million dollar market cap . WTF was VIABTC thinking?

Good point.  I didn't know about BitConnect or its coin until you brought this up.

As for what ViaBTC was thinking, I imagine they intended no harm here.  In the rush it would have been too easy to search for "BCC" on coincap.io, find no matches, and conclude that there were no significant cryptocurrencies using the ticker.

I hope they change it appropriately, and soon.

Is there any chance for our private keys getting stolen when we import them in a possible rogue BitcoinABC wallet?

Yes. However, sticking to the official links posted by the OP should be OK, especially since the OP is a bitcointalk staff member. Plus, I don't think Bitmain, who backed the development of this coin, would sacrifice their reputation on releasing a trojan. But you never know in this crazy cryptocoin community.

@bones261
I'm promoting it, because I like the idea, but I'm not directly involved.
I didn't developed any part of the code and I didn't give them a single satoshi.

As I wrote:

My opinion:
While I support for sure the freedom of choice, you should be wise on touching this kind of things.
Your private keys are precious. Keep them safe

It should be safe, but avoid to act thoughtless.
Check around.

it actually is a possibility! bitcoinABC is not exactly being released by bitmain. it is a source code on Github with these people (https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc/commits/master) who we don't even know are making the changes and commit them to the code.

the code is not even the fork of bitcoin! which means it is impossible for us to go through all of the code, line by line to check where the shenanigans are. if it was simply forked from bitcoin there were a link under the name indicating this and then you could simply compare the two repositories to see only the changes.
see the SegWit2x (btc1) repo, you will understand what i mean. it is simple and fast to check all the changes they have made to the code of bitcoin core.

long story short, i would not trust this client at all unless i can understand the code. which i don't have the time for.

p.s. it doesn't even have to be a trojan to leak your private keys. (just an example:) imagine if the way you make the transactions with their code has a bug in it that produces weak signatures and leaks your private keys when you sign a raw transaction and broadcast it!

Yes. And there is a chance for losing your BTC due to replay attacks.
Although it uses the Bitcoin ABC software, Bitcoin Cash seems a bit shady to me.

[Limx Dev]

Is this coin already online?

Bitcoin Classic and Bitcoin Unlimited have also announced support, so a range of clients should be available before the split.

[petestheman]

In future this coin will die as there is only one Bitcoin .

Still all the best .

We know CSW needs Bitcoins, which is the reason to pretend to be Satoshi. It would be a great plan to steal a lot of Bitcoins by releasing a malware... Be careful!

To avoid a full synch of the bitcoinabc.org wallet can I point it at a copy of the core blockchain?

Cryptocurrency has a reverse Schelling poinit because network effect assumes infinite scalability.  It's inevitable people either leave the main chain or fork off from it to avoid usury fees.  The most likely outcome is death by dilution if there's no gigantic scaling solution (I don't consider LN the fix for this problem).

why do you even need the entire blockchain, anything before the fork is irrelevant, it's old chain, so why not just truncate the chain and make it a smaller download?

Most other coins I've used that forked, you only had to download the blockchain from the point of split. you didn't have to do a full sync, the drawback was you couldn't use the old tokens in the new wallet. the drawback with bitcoin ABC is the entire bitcoin blockchain is a beast. 99 gigs. it's a monster and takes several days to sync a wallet. the devs haven't devised a really fast way to sync a wallet. what they're doing now is like putting lipstick on a pig, it doesn't address the problem of painfully slow syncing. there's also another problem, alot of ISP's won't let you do that big of a download. to get around that you have to truncate the chain.

When is the ElectrumCash wallet going to be ready and will I be able to use alongside my regular Electrum wallet?

You are right - there is only one Bitcoin following Satothies Whitepaper,

and this is THIS coin.

... the miners will decide, and the investors will follow.

Good luck with your Blockstream Segwit Altcoin.

 

P.S. if you want to be sure you get your BCC (I guess this will change to BTC), put your BTC into paper wallet before the 30th of July !

i will believe that when i see it. investors are spread across the world. miners are huddled around a few dams in rural china. no one cares what they want or think nor should they. all they should do is mine what everyone else is using.
