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

[benedictonathan]

Is it true that if you do not do anything on your end and let this slip you will eventually not be able to use any bitcoin you have on your wallet? I have an old electrum wallet installed in 2016 and have not upgraded since. I only have a few hundred thousand satoshis that would amount really to a few  bucks. Should  I even bother? Can I still be able to use these satoshis and send them to any wallet after all of this has passed?

[sammrheza]

I am trying to explain same thing posting 15+ times here. Nobody listens though. the only thing they care is to make so called free MONEY

This forum has become infested with illiterate and greedy idiots.

I will have ZERO sympathy for such people when they start to post their sad stories...
I just do not get it if their stupidity or greed comes first. On a second thought stupidity is the driving factor i guess

TBH, they deserve to lose their money.

i have my coins on coinomi which is open source and a very old and trusted wallet. they added bitcoin cash as an update and i see my balance there......coinomi should be good right?

Not necessarily.

For it to get dumped it needs buyers as well, where the hell are those buyers coming from?

There are no buyers yet because it will take a while to be actually able to move BCH to an exchange and dump it. Right now, there is only a futures market.

so it still true the rumor where when I spend my bcc and my btc amount also spended ? it is ridiculous , its like a trap lol

Rumors are examples of uneducated folk talking about subjects that are way above their level of intelligence and knowledge, and usually do not cause anything good. BCH does have *some* replay protection, but they are intentionally trying to obfuscate the changes that they have made to their codebase. This is why I would not attempt to spend any BCH anytime soon. If there is not enough replay protection, someone could *simply* broadcast the same transaction from the BCH network to the BTC network and your funds would also be moved on Bitcoin.

Just read the announcement from Kraken: http://blog.kraken.com/post/1150/bitcoin-cash-and-a-critical-alert-for-bitcoin-margin-traders/
When I remember right Kraken will give you bitcoin cash but please read their statement.
Anyway I would not trust any exchange, just leave your bitcoins in your trezor or ledger and this would be the safest play to get bitcoin cash in my oppinion

[Lauda]

Bitcoincash.org sold for $48,888 & Bitcoincash.com for $50,000 on sedo.com

Only idiots with money to throw around would pay so much for something so worthless.

lol, try to gain something huh

The whole idea behind Bitcoin Cash is primarily greed/profit. Do not let them confuse you with buzz wording like "on-chain scaling" and "satoshi's vision" (often quoting him out of context or parts which are no longer relevant).

Who is going to buy a domain for a coin that is going to be destroyed in few days after the release

See my response.

New Trezor firmware released for BCC.

getting my pop corn

[kashish948]

1 hour to go! 

[jkminkov]

So basically after the fork just send all your BTC to yourself and you should be 100% safe from any future replay protection on both coins correct?

well only if you trust their wallet.

safest way would be:

sending to yourself, lets say paper wallet, then send only BTC again (wait some more confirms), to a new wallet/could be paper or hot or both/, and only then spend bch paper wallet.

Is there a way to monitor if BCH block was mined and we have already new chain? Like some site or whatever.

There were a couple of sites I was monitoring last night that are not currently working.  They were showing the signaling and the need for a split.  This ons is down currently, but looked promising for tracking the split.  My guess is the website was over loaded with people watching it and the webserver died:

Previously some exchanges announced that they are not going to give BCC coins for those who hold in particular exchanges. I think we have to wait for a further update regarding BCH and free airdrop of BCC to people who hold bitcoins which have private key.

[coinmania]

We are Close
Now anybody tried http://www.electroncash.org/ is this safe to use?

I think you've been too much into pre-mined alts

Unless SN himself provides the airdrop stash, I wonder how that could happen...

i think someone mentioned a backdoor in that. NOT SAFE! AVOID.

So we are blind atm... it would be good if op post information when we finally get BCH block

[raynman]

Will Bitcoin Cash be known as BCC or BCH? I am confused.

[seven.71]

How long  Hardfork process take to get BCH?

Yeah, a full node.
