Hello everyone.
I`m a newbie to CC so please bare with me. If you hold a small amount of BTC my understanding is you get an the same amount of Segwit2x when the fork has been implemented.
The trading platform I use has not stated it`s stance regarding this. I`m just about to transfer my BTC to a paper wallet, so my question is this. Will I still be able to claim the Segwit2x at a later date using a paper wallet as offline storage on the day of the fork.
Thanks in advance.
Yes you can still claim it as long as you have the private key, manually claim it by importing your private key to a wallet that supports Segwit2x or wait for announcement on how you can do it. If you don't want to manually get your free B2X just store them temporarily to an exchange that will support it like Bitfinex and HitBTC they will automatically credit B2X coins to your account.
I`m on Kraken but not a word from them. The exchange seems to have been down for most of day too.
Kraken still not making any public announcement regarding Segwit2x hard fork until today. But I think they will not support Segwit2x because they did not signed for Bitcoin New York Agreement.
