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

[Rinso]

As a future holder of Bitcoin Cash I request Segwit support.

What segwit is giving to Bitcoin, you will probably find it on Bitcoin Cash, but as hard fork. Just wait

Whether it will happen also if HF and split back like this kind of event ?

in which wallet i have to keep my btc to get free bcc ,and where i can download wallet for both coins thanks

[qiwoman2]

If I have BTC on LIVECOIN exchange they will give me BCC correct? Also if I hold in blockchain.info wallet do I also automatically get BCC? I am not a very hardcore techie and will need a tutorial with private keys etc unless I just hold on LIVECOIN? I don't have a lot but would love to get a small amount even of BCC when it launches.

Probably not.

Also if I hold in blockchain.info wallet do I also automatically get BCC?

No.
You will probably need to use this to extract your private keys from the seed:
https://github.com/iancoleman/bip39

Then you will need to import them on a compatible wallet.

You should better wait for something simple.

didnt go through everything sorry, but how do i claim my BCC? sign a message?

You won't need to claim it, you will just need to download the BCC wallet client with your current bitcoin private key. If you have funds, depending on what exchange its on they will automatically credit it to you.

Do you are sure you feel confident to dump your private key in a strange and new BCC Wallet you never had hear about just 3 days ago ?

Thank you for this kind reply. The Techie stuff is all above my head so I think I will probably miss out on the airdrop sigh.. never mind I will try buy a little bit when all the freebie peeps sell some off.

Is there (or will it be) any light client wallet for BitcoinCash? The option to have full copy of blockchain on my home PC is not exciting.

[landslide]

Is this one the same as BitcoinABC? also I can't run at the same time bitcoin wallet and bitcoin cash wallet? or can I?

[Amph]

so if  we hold our bitcoin until 2017.08 01 we will get bitcoin cash? 

anyone can tell me ? thank you

If you have exclusive control of say 10 bitcoins (private key / mnemonic seed) and hold them through the fork then you'll naturally have 10 "bitcoins" on each branch (10 BitcoinCore-coins and 10 BitcoinCash-coins if you will).  After the fork, if you are careful (use trustworthy guides and services), then you'll be able to move the 10 coins of one branch without moving their twins on the other branch (see: "replay attacks").  If you only care about one branch then you can sell the coins on the other branch.

Of course, it would be extremely confusing to call both of these assets "bitcoin" so at least one branch will need a new name and ticker.  While imperfect, the most popular assignment is currently:

• For the Bitcoin Core fork: "bitcoin", "BTC"
• For the Bitcoin Cash fork: "bitcoincash", "BCC" (caution: conflicts with BitConnect Coin)

how is this different then dumping any sha256 coin for bitcoin? this is just an altcoin, free airdrop also

With airdrops, you typically use signed messages or micro-payments to claim coins on some other ledger.  Here, you have a single private key which controls coins on a pair of ledgers with a common transaction history.  Please be wary of trusting your private keys to new software.

"Altcoin" implies not Bitcoin but both of these coins have a good claim to the name "Bitcoin".

If you think that one of the branches is not really Bitcoin then I challenge you to identify it and explain why.

because the latter will not have usage like the first bitcoin that's why, will not be accepted like the original, it's not about the longest chain for me

You can export private keys from your blockchain.info "imported addresses" directly on the site, no external tool needed. The top answer below.

If you don't have any imported addresses, you probably need to do this:

Instead of importing private key into mycelium, import it into a wallet that supports bitcoin cash. Electrum 2.9 "independence" maybe, I don't know?

I'm almost certain that the upcoming release of Electrum (v2.9, codename: "Independence") will make it easy for you to choose which branch to follow.

I have btc in paper wallets or trezors hardware.
Need manual how to spend on both chains.

I think at the moment the idea is not so clear how to spend bitcoin via paper or hardware wallets. After 1st August situation will be clear and we will see everything details although I also have same question but at OP nothing about this.

Hi,

I have btc in paper wallets or trezors hardware.
Need manual how to spend on both chains.

I don´t know how to do it with trezor,
but if you got your paperwallets,
you can import them savely into the wallets
on both chains after the split.

well that is basically giving away my priv keys to some 3rd party software shit piece...
is BCC wallet safe???

[Mrpumperitis]

hi, so which version of the coin gets the original bitcoin logo...surely not both, that would add to the confusion.
bcc will share ticker with another bcc ?
are both bcc coins altcoins?

teaching noobs about bitcoin is hard enough, teaching them about 10 dif versions of fake bitcoins with bit and bitcoin in thier name...no thanks
imo bitcoin will lose its crown because of this confusion.

dont be surprised to see bitcoin at 3rd spot at some point.

[fengzhiyan]

why bittrex do not supply Bitcoin Cash ?
all of my BTC is on bittrex ..seems i can't get the BCC after that happen

[insurgus]

Preserve asicboost at all costs.

bittrex said they will give the forked version to btc holders on the site, so you will have 2 versions when/if it happens
 look it up.
