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

[junan1]

is there a list of excahnges that will support this ?

https://www.bitcoincash.org/ has a section on exchanges which they've been keeping up-to-date.

private key mean (wallet generation seed)?

In function:  Yes.  Your wallet generation seed is basically your private key.

Technically:  Your wallet generation seed is a mnemonic (see BIP0039) used to generate the 512-bit seed of a Hierarchical Deterministic Wallet (see BIP0032).

I expect both chains to be viable though.

"I expect both chains to be viable though" wink wink lol

Lol yeah I guess I added that to avoid being trolled. We'll see

What does "viable" mean? ...

viable /ˈvaɪ.ə.bəl/ adj. 1. able to work as expected or able to succeed. 2. goxable but where the deed is done by Viabtc.

Oh, ok.  Checks out.  They're both quite viable.

Oh man. I don't like these news. Bitcoin was having a good reputation for a while. Imagine if now you trade in both btc and bcc+eth.

you have already several BTC clones and this is just one additional, why to make such a drama about this? be happy you get free some shitcoin you might can make few $ profit when dump it away and that's it

BTC can be uses more and more in real world directly (e.g. in switzerland region Zug to pay taxes or other governmental services) - does anybody think some real-world services would switch now to one of many hundred alt-coins just because they are another BTC clone?

I am using Electrum.  Can I send the coins directly from Electrum, or must I have the unofficial release installed?  This story came out today and Electrum is supporting BCC, but someone is pushing a different wallet release.
https://themerkle.com/bitcoin-cash-wallet-support-is-coming-to-trezor-and-an-electrum-fork/

Electrum does not support Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and does not endorse Electrum Cash.

Electrum 2.9 - "Independence" can better handle different branches of Bitcoin than earlier versions and gives you tools to follow the branch that you want.  However, notice that Electrum 2.9 checks and enforces Bitcoin's difficulty rules on all branches.  If Bitcoin Cash's new difficulty rule is ever invoked, then Electrum 2.9 will consider the branch invalid from that point.

Bitcoin Cash's proposed coin-splitting mechanics have been recently superseded by strong replay protection.  This means that normal Bitcoin wallets will not accidentally move any BCH.  So long as you control your bitcoins going into the fork and keep the private keys safe, you'll be able to retrieve your bitcoincash later.

Coinbase will not support BCH as per their newsletter:

Dear Coinbase Customer,
We wanted to provide an update on proposed changes to the Bitcoin network and what that means for bitcoin stored on Coinbase. You can read more about what a digital currency fork is https://blog.coinbase.com/what-is-a-bitcoin-fork-cba07fe73ef1.
Our first priority is the safety of customer funds. In the event of a fork, customer fiat currency (USD, EUR and GBP) and digital currencies (bitcoin, ether and litecoin) are safe.
On August 1st, 2017 there is a proposal to make changes to the bitcoin software. This proposal, known as Bitcoin Cash, is likely to create a fork in the Bitcoin network. This means that after August 1st, 2017 there are likely to be two versions of the Bitcoin blockchain and two separate digital currencies.
In the event of two separate blockchains after August 1, 2017 we will only support one version. We have no plans to support the Bitcoin Cash fork. We have made this decision because it is hard to predict how long the alternative version of bitcoin will survive and if Bitcoin Cash will have future market value.
This means if there are two separate digital currencies – bitcoin (BTC) and bitcoin cash (BCC) – customers with Bitcoin stored on Coinbase will only have access to the current version of bitcoin we support (BTC). Customers will not have access to, or be able to withdraw, bitcoin cash (BCC).
Customers who wish to access both bitcoin (BTC) and bitcoin cash (BCC) need to withdraw bitcoin stored on Coinbase before 11.59 pm PT July 31, 2017. If you do not wish to access bitcoin cash (BCC) then no action is required.
We plan to temporarily suspend bitcoin buy / sells, deposits and withdrawals on August 1, 2017 as the fork is likely to cause disruption to the bitcoin network. This means your funds will be safe but you will be unable to access your bitcoin (BTC) for a short period of time.
We will keep you updated on this event through our blog, status page and Twitter.
Thank you,
Coinbase Team

How many percents of the miners are going to support Jihans Jihad on Bitcoin?

You can follow the miners who are supporting this on http://coin.dance

The support for BCC is rising daily..

I'm currious to see what will happen in the future with this...
Please do not forget there was already a split in APRIL ...

See this thread (BITCORE/ BT)- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1883902.0

It's virtually worth nothing for now .. One can only try to learn from the past ..

BItstamp won't support this Shitcoin

[Nthused]

This is just getting ridiculous now, just choose one and stick to it....

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

Some great advice though ^

[cpozzer]

Oh, another ALTcoin  What is the purpose for this? Same as all ALTS? 

[sanas]

This fork can be created any day. It does not have to do with the division of the chain, it's just an attempt to play at a rush and make money out of nothing.

[Real-Duke]

Im using Electrum. Can I send the new coins directly from Electrum, or do I have an unofficial release to install?  Not easy to keep the overview for the moment

Let say I have 10 btc now in my own wallet , then on 1 august  I got 10 Bitcoin Cash right ? at that tim bcc value $200 , so if i sell my 10 bcc that means i sell my btc too at $200 ? then i lose my both coin just for $2000 , am i wrong ?

Depends on wallet wheather you will get 10 BCC if you change you wallet to BCC one. But let us asume that you get 10 BCC with appropriate wallet then
You are 100% CORRECT  

If we are talking about exchanges it will happen automatically. That is why i recommended to use different exchange (and/or) account HOLDING 0 BTC when dealing with BCC

I am really confused because I hear somewhere we are going to get 10BCC if we hold 10BTC. But still, both coins belong to us only, if we hold  10BTC in the exchange so we are going to get 10BCC but actual balance will remain same. (10BTC + 10 BCC) Right.

This is correct. But be advised not all exchanges will be working with BCC. i just found out that Bittrex will give their customers BCC, but not all exchanges do that.

To make sure you get your BCC it\s best to store in in your on own wallet or  a wallet where you hold your private keys.

My question is why BCC tiker? BCC is BitConnect ticker.

I don't know what is the reason behind giving free BCC coins to holders. There are many people selling their altcoin and converting them into BTC because the reason is BCC. But i don't like the idea issuing because it will will create lot of panic in exchanges and many people will sell their altcoin for low prices.

Exactly as these scam Nubs couldn't even check coinmarketcap for tickers. Should have just went full retard and take ETH or LTC ticker.

Hello. Tell me, please, what exchanges will work with BitcoinCash (BCC)? Are there limits on the amount of money withdrawal? If so, what are the limits?

[DigitalCurrencyConsultant]

this could be exciting

On kraken is BCH

"On August 1 2017 at 12:20 pm UTC a small community of Bitcoin users is planning a hard fork from Bitcoin to an alternative protocol called “Bitcoin Cash” (BCH)."
http://blog.kraken.com/post/1150/bitcoin-cash-and-a-critical-alert-for-bitcoin-margin-traders/

And on Bitfinex too

"Although we see this token referred to as BCC on other platforms, unfortunately, that ticker symbol is already in use on our platform by the chain-split token representing Bitcoin Core. As such, we plan to use BCH as the ticker symbol and “Bcash” as the descriptive name to avoid confusion with Bitcoin."
