[Huxleyfree]

Is it necessary publish or give my private keys to get the BCA?

is the link you publish the other day or a new one?

[rokieinvest]

is the fork launched already?

yes, they launched it yesterday

[kalunomics]

Why is the prize tanking so hard? Currently at almost 80 dollars now. Is it really worth the investment?

[RealMachasm]

Another problem I just found is that Coinomi doesn't have segwit support. My BTC at the time of the fork was in a segwit address.
I can't sweep the address into coinomi since it doesn't support it!
Sheeeit. One problem after another.

Better to wait for atom official wallets, then you can sweep easily. As long as you go for sweeping you are very much safe

Hi all. Is this coin still mineable or how will be distributed the rest of coins? And if i have bitcoin when fork was done how i can get bitcoin atom? And on what exchanges will be listed?

When is that going to be?
After everyone else has dumped the coin and its worthless?

It is not mineable yet. Where did you have btc during the fork? Private wallet or exchange? You can either claim with your pk or through partnering exchanges. Exchanges are OKEx, Yobit, Exrates and Bitlish

I'm looking forward to get rid of those dumpers so the real supporters/investors of the project can hop on and it can steadily grow from then on

many things I want to know from the development of this atom Bitcoin project, I see some interesting things in it that I need to know, I would love to get a lot of information on this thread

NEVER EVER send your private key anywhere. Move yout Bitcoins to a new address before you do anything (paid 50cent in fees 2h ago).

Wait until Coinomi supports it and sweep the now empty private key which held Bitcoin due the fork. Did that with Bitcore now 20$ per coin

Thank you, that's a clear warning and I'll heed it.  I don't understand what "sweep the now empty private key which held Bitcoin due the fork", sorry. Where can I bone up on how to do that?

Also, once Bitcoin Atom puts out their Atom wallet, wouldn't that be a good way to get the BCA and store it?

The exact procedure varies by what wallet you're using.

I'll explain briefly using bitcoin core. If you need further clarification, feel free to send me a PM.

It is best to wait for the full purse to leave the developers, and do not expose your BTC to extra risk

First, you will ABSOLUTELY want to move your Bitcoins to a new address, maybe even a new wallet! Because if you do this on a site like Coinami (who are honest, but still...), you are exposing your private key to the internet. It could be intercepted, and it could be used to steal your shit if it's still there.

I honestly would WAIT. Wait until the core wallet is released. But if you MUST use Coinami, follow their instructions after doing the above and the following.

First, export the private keys of every bit of BTC you have in your wallet currently as of the fork block. (actually second, because we assume from here forward that you have sent your BTC to a safe place). You do this in bitcoin core by clicking on "help", then going to the console.

In the console, you'll need the address(es) where your btc resided at the time of the fork. For each address enter:
dumpprivkey "address"  (yes, you want the quotes).

Copy the output to a text file. When you save the text file, it's a good idea (not mandatory) to encrypt it. But after you get your BCA, you must NEVER use these addresses and keys again!

Now, assuming you wait for the Core wallet, get it synced, then go again to the debug console and for each key issue the following:

importprivkey "privatekey"

This is the slow, hard way, but it works. It will rescan the blockchain for each key you put in, and the coins will appear in your wallet. Been through this twice. There's and easier couple of ways. Well, less time consuming. But this is the safest.

However, if the Dev team has also forked Electrum and has a version of that in play, you can import the keys in a batch (Electrum wallet tells you how), and it will happen much faster.

Note that in both cases here, you still control these keys. But I would still send the coin to a new address, cuz why take unnecessary risks?

If you do use an online service, ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVELY MOVE THE COINS to a new address, IMMEDIATELY. One Bad Actor and you're out of coins. And as noted above and by others, move your BTC BEFORE doing any of the above.

Hope that helps

That all still confuses me. They should have put out their own wallet. I don't trust services I never heard of. I'm a noob and this is new. I don't trust messing with private keys. I wish this cleared things up LOL

Click on their wallet, it doesn't work. It's not released. I do not see it in the coinomi app I downloaded. I took a glance at the exchanges and could not find them there, what am I missing?

Thanks very much, that helps a lot. Appreciate you took the time to lay it out for me and others new to the game.

Everyone was a newbie nine years ago

Some of us haven't forgotten.

Thanks for the kind words.

what is The current price of BCA?

[DocSnyd3r]

There will be many fake wallets. I would also not trust the official wallet.

If you don't have it already get a hardware wallet for your Bitcoin. They usually offer splitting tools. But still no tools for the shady Bitcoin Diamond fork, maybe this fork will end dead on arrival.
