what's the diffeeence between bitcoins and blockchain after 1 of Aug

The same as the difference before 1 of Aug.

One of them (blockchain) is a company that has a reputation for buggy software and which provides a block explorer and hybrid bitcoin wallet.

The other (coinbase) is a company that collects personal information about users, and which provides bitcoin based accounts.

While taking in consideration what Danny said above, blockchain.info should allow you to control your wallet (or so they claim) which means you can export your private keys, import them somewhere else and use BCC If you want to while that's not the case for Coinbase, so you can't really claim the 'free' BCC.

Which is why it is a WALLET.  They provide software that gives you exclusive access to your private keys. You can do whatever you want with the bitcoins you receive, and you are responsible for keeping the private keys secure.  You can decide how you want to manage BCC, BTC, or any other fork.

while that's not the case for Coinbase, so you can't really claim the 'free' BCC.

Which is why it is just an ACCOUNT.  You don't actually have any bitcoins if you are using a Coinbase account.  You GIVE all your bitcoins to Coinbase.  Then they add an entry into a database in their system indicating that they they will send an equivalent amount of THEIR bitcoins wherever you ask them to whenever you ask them to.  It is up to you to decide if you trust that they will honor that promise. Since the bitcoins belong to Coinbase, they get to decide how they want to manage BCC, BTC, or any other fork.


If you don't have exclusive access to the private keys, then you don't have any bitcoins.

Or perhaps you didn't mean "blockchain.info" but the actual blockchain and you didn't mean "coinbase.com" but the coinbase since you didn't specify that you meant web sites.

This has information about the coinbase:

As far as the bitcoin blockchain:

Both will be the same on August 1, but since (to me) it wasn't clear that you meant "blockchain.info" by "blockchain" and "coinbase.com" by "coinbase" the links above should help round out the discussion.  However, the alt-coin BCC blockchain will diverge from the Bitcoin blockchain after August 1st, if it survives.

Yeah correct when we are logging in to coin base wallet we can get the message what you mentioned. Still fees is the problem in blockchain wallet which is higher than coinbase wallet.
Via blockchain explorer we can identify the transactions with the tx id and btc address but this feature is not available in the coinbase wallet. Apart from both that are online providers.

I just read this https://github.com/OmniLayer/omniwallet/wiki/Exporting-Private-Key-from-Blockchain.info-and-Importing-to-Omniwallet.org
you can export your private key from blockchain.info and import Omniwallet.
coinbase wallet just a online wallet the don't give access to private key.

Yes! Received a mail today morning about their new update.I'm glad they said that upfront and actually gave us time to move our coins instead of bending us over like they do all the time.

Can't you just send your coins to a new wallet for the time being instead of importing the private keys ? It's hassle free and takes only a transaction fee.I was thinking I could send coins from my blockchain.info wallet to a desktop wallet like electrum until the fork activity is stable.Any advises ?

I think you can choose either you send or you still want to keep your bitcoin address to import your private keys to other wallet and the best is transfer your coins much safer into electrum this is i think safe.. or generate your own paper wallet and save your bitcoin there..
That you can import anytime in electrum wallet or other wallet that you can import private keys..

In blockchain account low amount transection fee is low but in coinbse fee is so high.
But still good service both.
I use that 2 service and happy of it.
But block chain is more secure account.
