There is no deadline, do not get scammed

[5W-KILO]

I can actually be wrong about this 😕
But i still want to say.

It seems people on this forum hated the fact that BIP110 fork and blake2b exists, because no one is talking about it and the only single thread that says something was been shut down 👎 like it's a disease that no one should be talking about.

Anyways, if you own Bitcoin before August 8th 2026, it means you are probably going to control coins on the Bip110 fork chain, the blake2b  hardfork is said to go live on September 1st, why am I saying all this?

You may already be seeing websites, mails, phone calls, all telling you about how to claim your new coins before it's too late, please don't do it, because right now..

1. There is no deadline.
2. There is no official claiming website.
3. No official wallet to download.

There is absolutely no reason to give anyone your seedphrases or private keys.
Even according to BitcoinBIP110.org, if anyone is telling you to claim this coin before some deadline they are lying.

I've done what I feel is right, to limit stories that touches later on the forum.

I’m sorry, but the tone of your post seemed to me to be in the spirit of “Let’s remember what’s better left in the past.”

If there is a fork, there will be a block when the fork happens, and with blockchain snapshots, people can claim their forked coins based on that, and they can do anytime later.

No deadline to claim forks.
Claiming a forked coin is risky and it must be claimed with an empty wallet after you already moved your bitcoin to another wallet. Because as said, claiming does not need to have bitcoin in a wallet at the claiming time.

There is absolutely no reason to give anyone your seedphrases or private keys.

Claiming needs private key, and that's a reason why you must do claiming with an empty wallet.

Something that never had any support and couldn't even mine 2 blocks after they forked off is not something anybody wants (5 blocks total in 25 days which is an average of 1 block every 5 days LOL). Consequently nobody talks about it either. We can even call it dead even though the centralized entity behind it is trying so hard to keep this shitfork alive.

Irregardless, the rest of your post is good advice. Although you should have also included the risks of shitforks and claiming them since you'll have to move coins in a dead chain without replay protection and you'd have to download some software that does it for that chain...

Shitforks are useless and have very low or zero value and price, so it's very dangerous and stupid to chase shitforks, hurry to claim them while ignoring many steps to secure bitcoin funds.

How Many Bitcoin Forks Are There? You will be surprised!!!
Perhaps a famous shitfork is Bcash.
To newcomers: make sure when you buy bitcoin you are buying bitcoin!
Has Bitcoin.com stopped presenting Bitcoin Cash as the real Bitcoin?

If you don't have serious privacy concern, just visit https://mempool.guide/ or other BIP 110 explorer to see if you own any BIP 110 coin. Note that some explorer still use word "BTC" or "Bitcoin" that may confuse you.

the blake2b  hardfork is said to go live on September 1st, why am I saying all this?

Based on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5590802.msg67094972#msg67094972 and BIP 110 explorer, it already happened few days ago.

3. No official wallet to download.

You could use Bitcoin Knots as wallet. But when i write this reply, latest version of Bitcoin Knots released a month ago, which means no proper support for blake2b hard fork.

This is an important warning. Regardless of any fork claims, nobody should ever share their seed phrase or private keys with a website, email sender, or caller. Being cautious about scams and waiting for verified information        is absolutely the right approach.

There is no deadline, do not get scammed

Sure, there is no deadline. However, if BIP-110 rules will expire on their Blake chain, and won't be renewed after a year, by some more restrictive soft-fork, then some transactions from BTC may be replayed on BIP-110 chain later.

But anyway: if they will keep fighting with the spam, then there should be that way or another, to relay something, which they would block. And of course, all coins, touched by newly minted blocks, will remain splitted.

a dead chain without replay protection

They introduced SIGHASH_UNIFIED, so people can use it, if they want to split their coins.

you'd have to download some software that does it for that chain

If you don't want to install Knots, then you don't have to. All that is needed, is using P2PK, 84 bytes OP_RETURN, or anything else they blocked. All transactions can be signed from Core, and once you split your coins, they will remain splitted, because the effort to unsplit them is quite huge, and require making identical coinbase transactions on both chains.

latest version of Bitcoin Knots released a month ago, which means no proper support for blake2b hard fork

Which is why using anything they blocked, and making a self-transfer, is a safer way, and works since the beginning of their fork, even before they turned into Blake: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5590674.msg67025339#msg67025339

I do not know if this has happened before but it can happen, any website that tell you to put your seed phrase down on their website to claim the forked coins is a lie, they may want to use it to steal your cryptocurrencies. It is also good to claim the coins using an empty wallet after all coins on the wallet has been transferred to another wallet, then you can begin the process.

All Bitcoin forks are shitcoins, I am not going too say otherwise, but I care more about people who don't care about claiming some shitcoins to make some instant money.

Are you guys seeing how some YouTubers are making a big deal out of mining blake2b? They claimed to be making ROI under 24hours, and I don't care about that.

It's going to be a dead end, but some scammers will see this as an advantage to steal from people, I just don't want to hear some stories about losing the real Bitcoin for some shit sidelined forks later.

Well the actual danger of forks isn’t actually the fork itself but the scams the surrounds it and it’s crucial to really understand this. I really don’t see any reason why people would want to rush into any claiming process or even go as far as exposing their seed phrases or private keys on the process. If the so called claiming process is actually legit, users should be able to verify it independently without necessarily having to compromise the security of their Bitcoin.
