So, August 1st is approaching and everyone is getting a bit nervous. I wonder in which wallets will you keep your bitcoins, which ones you trust the most and know that your coins will be secure and you'll have access to them?

Here is a guide by Theymos:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2012799.0

You can see which wallet he recommends. I personally used Electrum. But Core is also a good alternative. By now everybody should have settled on what wallet to used. Barely 48 hours before the "feared" Aug 1 day.

I was confused with the same thing because I use both offline and online wallets. So someone suggested me to use Electrum wallet and transfer all my online fund to that wallet.

The best thing about electrum wallet is that, it is light. You don't need to download any blockchain to your computer. I have just installed one and about to transfer my online funds to that wallet soon. I hope I will receive a good amount of BCC because I am going to hold a good amount of bitcoin in my electrum wallet.

I know that electrum and trezor will give BCC if you have stored bitcoin on there. Also from what I know bittrex will give also equal BCC to your bitcoin there. you can also search on google for more wallets , I know many  created an acticle about this matter.

I will keep them in Electrum. Yesterday was released version 2.9.0 which will support both chains if a hard fork happens. We have to wait and not make any transactions during and a bit after August 1 until the waters will calm down and we will see a winner.

Two days back, I moved my coins from Blockchain.info wallet to Electrum wallet. For briefly, I thought about keeping them in the OKPAY exchange wallet, but then decided against it. The risks are too high.

Its better to to keep bitcoins on paper wallet or hardware wallet so that it is properly secured. Some said that electrum was good wallet to store your bitcoins so that when the D day comes your btc is safe. If you really want to be safe just convert them into dollars or any fiat money that you use, and just buy bitcoin again when the price is low.

The best option is to keep your bitcoins on a hardware wallet such as a ledger.

Actually if this split happens, your private keys should lead to your old wallet with btc in it.
Just make sure you keep your coins out of any exchanges or online wallets and have your private keys saved somewhere safe if you don't own a hardware wallet.

Basically I'm not scared on what's about to happen on August 1. But upon reading such threads like this makes me feel uncomfortable, negativity was being passed to me but I know there's nothing to be afraid about it. However, I stored all of my bitcoins on electrum and I feel safe with it, so I'll just hold out my coins there and watch the market.

Eh, I don't know at the moment. I would think there is going to be some price change at some point, and this would seem to be a very good time to see a correction come up -- as there is going to be TWO coins now instead of ONE representing Bitcoin. This is obviously going to show some scare in the market as people are going to halt TX's and buy/sells to see what happens.

I know I personally am not going to hold any coins and are just going to sell to get out ASAP, planning on just waiting a month and just seeing what happens -- making another decision in that time to see if I'll buy again or just sit around.

I'm using a stupid blockchain wallet for my sig campaign earnings, and I just bought a little
Dash.  Just in case.  Don't know what's going to happen come August 1st, but blockchain isn't
on that approved list, and I'm not taking any chances with this stuff.  And honestly I don't mind
owning Dash, so there you have it.

Why would I be nervous cause of one more alt emerging no the scene? We get alts every day and I do not feel nervous at all.

Those who re nervous re total noobs and should learn there is and there will be only one BTC and that s not BCC.

All major pools have already classified that BCC shit and an alt, today did it Slush pool, Coinbase stated they won't support it.

I would say that the safest way to store bitcoins during the August 1 'crisis' is to save your bitcoins onto a hardware wallet such as ledger or trezor. This will ensure that all your bitcoins will remain in the same place even if a hard fork does happen.
However, there is just so much FUD surrounding August 1 that it makes me feel greatly uncomfortable. I think all we can do now is sit back and watch.

Electrum is good if you import the keys for the address. Core is good for allowing easy creation and export while offline. I think that this is a good last minute option.
