Of course, before the new fork on October 25, you can move without any restrictions. However, if you want to have a new free Bitcoin Gold coin after this fork, then you need to keep bitcoin in your purse.

you can move your bitcoin anytime you want. bitcoin network has been working and will continue to work at all times.

how it work exactly do we risk to lose our coins because of replay attack?

you do NOT lose your bitcoin if you move your bitcoin.

replay attack means the transaction you make on bitcoin network will also be valid on the other (fork) chain too. so it can be mined there too.

imagine you are making a payment to 1BtcAddress... you obviously don't control the private key to 1BtcAddress and you are making a bitcoin payment. that goes one fine without any issues. but the same payment will happen on the forked chain and you also pay bitcoin_forked to 1BtcAddress... on the forked chain. but since you don't control the key to that address, your bitcoin_forked coins are practically lost.

remember this works the other way around too. meaning if you claim your bitcoin_forked coins, the transaction you make on the forked chain is also valid on bitcoin network so you get the bitcoin_forked coins and lose bitcoin!

that is why these chains have to implement a strong two way replay protection or if they don't you have to first split your coins then make a transaction.

Yes, I'd like to know too. My bitcoins are in the wallet Exodus. Is it safe to just store them there or do I have to move them somewhere else since I think Exodus is a signatory of the New York Agreement...?

Where is your bitcoin?

Some exchanges will halt trading immediately before (like an hour) the fork is scheduled to occur and won't return access to transactions until they know it is safe to do so. This could be an hour or it could be a day. So keep that in mind if you leave your bitcoin with an exchange. It may be frozen for a short time after the fork.

You are a legendary forum member and you are asking ,i would say,a "newbie" question?Wow,this is strange.
The most important question here is which wallets and exchange platforms will support the forked altcoin called "Bitcoin Gold".I remember that during the previous forks some exchange platforms were limiting deposits and withdrawals.This might happen again.

oh it's clear now, so i have another question, can i use the same private key that i used for claiming bitcoin cash, to claim now bitcoin gold? or i need to move again my bitcoin?

i'm just asking which is the time windows where our coins are safe like with bitcoin cash it was advised to not move anything while we were near the fork date

[madwica]

I think if you store your bitcoin in trusted wallet like coinbase, blockchain, coins.ph and other our fund will be safe also based on some statement of other users we can keep it into our wallet. If you are using exchange site much better to move it into your wallet to make it safe.
Here in my country which is coins.ph is our local bitcoin wallet they only support bitcoin and does not want to add other coins and their statement that during and after the fork our fund will safe that is why all my countrymen are not affraid on the incoming fork.

first you need to wait and see if they are going to implement a strong 2 way replay protection or not.
- if they do, it is not necessary but it is highly recommended.
- if they do not, you must split your coins first and then use the keys.

it is always safer to move your bitcoin first and then import the private keys in the new wallet software. you never know what malicious things or even simply bugs are in these wallets. they are not exactly tested or reviewed specially in if you are doing it in the early days.

I think second time there will be no good profit from this fork. Only one time you can earn good money.

[krauzzer02]

It is safe to move your coins before the fork however make it sure your bitcoins are secured by storing them on a cold storage like paper wallet or any other remedy just to secure for the upcoming bitcoin fork in November for the Gold, don't worry about the replay attack as it plans to implement strong replay protection against the attackers.

[Passive Coin]

People just do not panic. Nothing wrong will happen. Keep your Bitcoins as usually.
I keep the in blockchain.info and some at Bittrex wallet.
... and that's fine. Relax.
Every new "forked coin" will be worth less than Bitcoin Cash. I just suppose so.
Competition is good but excessity turn "things" into lower end of the market....

Of course new fork is being happened on 25th october, If your bitcoins are not in safe wallet, you can move them to a secure web wallet.
Moving your bitcoin to any offline walletor exchanges like bittrex,poloniex is not recommended because this way you can't get bitcoin gold.
Forked currency is only attributed to those who keep their bitcoins online.If you don't want BCG, then better to move offline.

therefore i need to move two times my bitcoin to claim first the cash fork, and then the gold fork, that is a pain in the ass to do

The answer OP is looking for might be if replay protection is included in both forks. On Bitcoin Gold, I do not know but I heard it will not have replay protection. On Segwit2x/btc1, there is no replay protection.

But there will be clever developers who will code a tool to "split" your coins and have them safe in your wallets in all three chains.

You are a legendary rank member which in my opinion, you were around during the last fork exercise except otherwise. You don't need to bother yourself about understanding replay or technicality surrounding it. Because even if you do understand it, you can neither do to stop it or make it better. I just have the strong believe that how to go about it will surface by people who have more knowledge about it and have the authority to do same.

it is too soon to say, neither of these are released yet. there may or may not be a strong 2 way replay protection in either of them.
- there is A replay protection in SegWit2x (one way and also opt-in) for now. it is that multi sig address thingy
- there currently is no replay protection for bitcoin gold. but there is an open PR in their repo talking about it. and in their latest statement they said they are working on it.

[Wind_FURY]

Both those forks are reluctant to include replay protection because it will be openly admitting that their fork is the altcoin. But what choice do they have? In Jeff Garzik's case, he wants a hard fork but he still wants to retain the name and the brand "Bitcoin"? It will take more than the miners and the NYA signatories to do that because they do not represent the community.

The best thing to do in my opinion is to just pretend this is not happening. Do what you have always done. If there is a bonus with BTG - then great. The energy used is a waste of time because in reality no one knows.

That is easy for you to say as long as the price of Bitcoin is always going up, right? You have your choice but it is people like you that should start being involved and have your voice heard.

If you want to pretend that nothing is happening then why are you in the forum?
