So does this mean you receive these new coins if you were mining etc on a pool and accumulated them in your wallet address used for mining?
I was using a etcpool formerly named etcget which was doing autoconverting for you to another if you wanted.
So does this mean that pool would get these new forked coins instead?
If you kept your coins in that pool before block 8750000 was mined, then they are the only ones who can tell if you can get your "
forked coins".
If it is in your wallet and not spent before that particular block (
any client that you can access the private keys), you can restore them to a different client that supports the "
other" fork.
Dubbed “Atlantis,” the hard fork requires all software users to upgrade their clients in order to stay within the rules of the network
Speaking of Atlantis, it's designed to be the "
new version" of Ethereum Classic (
Unlike Bitcoin forks that's obviously money duplicator scam).
So the "
new coins" will still be Ethereum classic and the old coins/chain may stay active (
if there's enough miners, nodes that didn't want to update and the old code maintained by different developers) or may get abandoned by supporters.
FYI, Atlantis is winning in percentage, but the old chain is still alive as of now.
If the old chain didn't stay, so the "
forked coins".
