Ya it feels strange, seems like there's new 'free money' every month.

Another Byteball distribution this Sunday as well.

Dumped my Bcash today and can't help but wonder who the hell is buying the other side???

I used Changelly.

It took ages to confirm and the exchange rate wasn't great but I'm impatient and I just wanted to dump them ASAP

For those who want to split coins, just use google and search name of wallet + bitcoin cash and you will find a few helpful articles.

I have my private keys ready to collect my bitcoin cash, but which wallets can I now do this with? Should I wait for more trusted ones?

Just wanna confirm that I was able to take BCH off electrum via Electron Cash and use hitbtc to convert it to bitcoin which I now have. Feels good man.

Only lame part is I start all this last night, transfer from EC to hitbtc takes forever so I go to bed, even though I chose the fastest send option and paid more for it, and wake up to BCH being $40 less than it was in the morning.....

^^

Also just wanna say that when I was trading there was a open chat, and a guy in the chat named "GoGetIt" not me, said that bitcoin was going to be traded on the new york stock exchange today.

At first I thought like a chat bot using my name was talking, but I never set up a user name on there. But it was kinda surreal.

Also it seems that this fake gogetit is a bad source of info as google pulls up nothing about this recently.



Edit:

And bitcoin on a tear today looking at all time highs in like 2 hours if it keeps going.

Can you explain step by step how did you get this done? I have electrum and did not do this step yet because because mentioned that electron cash wallet was not legit etc.


Where did you send your bitcoin to during this process? Also did you need to use a 2nd computer to do this?


Thanks.

Total dumb luck/laziness. I had ~2btc on bittrex from selling the last byteball drop. I tried withdrawing at the end of the month but I was too late. Sold the ~2 bcash at .32. Then I sold my remaining bcash at .11 via shapeshift.

Now I wake up this morning to a new ATH.

I'm keeping all these airdrop profits in a separate wallet. Free money feels pretty good.

Even with this recent pump it's hard to believe there aren't going to be at least some negative repercussions from Bcash.

Ideally it will quickly drop to low single figures and everybody forgets about it, otherwise there could def be some tarnishing and confusion surrounding the 'Bitcoin' name, especially with the less informed.

Has anyone who stores their BTC on a Ledger Nano S successfully "claimed" their BCH/Bcash? Part of the process confuses me and I don't want to risk ****ing it up.

Heres how I went from BTC in my Electrum PC wallet to cashing out BCC:

1.Had some BTC in the Electrum wallet held through August 1st so i was due BCC but Electrum doesn't handle BCC yet.

2. I transfered all BTC on my Electrum to an online exchange for security reasons. Could have sent it to another Electrum wallet on another PC of mine if i wanted too.

3. Installed Electron Cash (EC) wallet on my PC that had the empty Electrum wallet.

4. EC automatically showed the BCC I was due. Listed as Not Verified btw. No special seeding needed.

5. I sent the BCC from EC to the HITBTC exchange, Took 3 hours to get there. Transferred it to a trading acct. within HITBTC. Then Traded BCC for BTC. Transferred all the BTC to my other online exchange. Could have sent it to a new Electrum wallet on a different pc if I wanted.

Happy to get the extra BTC

I don't vouch for EC or HITBTC but it worked. Use at your own risk.

I have one "good" pc in the house it's the only one I used for this whole thing, have electrum where my btc was and a coinbase account where I buy, for holding, btc. So had that before the chain split

So took the btc on electrum, sent it back to coinbase, didn't take to long to get there like 20 mins maybe. Downloaded Electron, it insta knew I had how much ever in bch (same amount of btc I had which is now on coinbase) on electrum which ports over to electron just by downloading. Then I opened a hitbtc account as Pokerlogist said they did, transferred from electron to hitbtc had to move from a "main account" on hitbtc to a "trading account" sold bch for btc on hitbtc then moved it back from a trading accout to main account then sent back to coinbase.

Gonna start a new wallet on electrum after uninstalling both electron and electrum and running a boot time scan on this pc, because I have, what to me, is a lot of $ worth of btc. Prolly could just start up a new wallet on electrum and be fine really.

All in all this was completely worth it for me, your experience may differ, but after fees and what not this was like super free money, just wish I had done it when bch was worth $800.

Still have like $20 worth of btc on hitbtc the way it worked out fwiw. And +1 for using at own risk, but I really don't think it was that difficult.


Edit:

I think it's worth noting that if you believe that bch is going to be worth more in the future then it is wholly reasonable to hold it right now as the price is crashing. I, fwiw, think it just doesn't have any real use cases that btc or another coin can't already do better so I sold it off.

Maybe, but did Ethereum classic mess up normal ETH?

Trying to claim BCH from blockchain info wallet. This video explains it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5jFdRmZ62c

The question I have is on the step where we insert recovery phrase to generate private keys. Is it safe to just import into this site?

https://bchblockchain.info/

Also can someone confirm the electron cash wallet will allow access to BCH?

Yes. Had to uninstall/reinstall the bcash app like 3 times to get it to work tho. Eventually successful.

Hard to know but I wouldn't be surprised if in an alternate universe where ETH never forked that its current price is higher than it is today.

Hi thanks for your response. So me sending all my bitcoin to say blockchain would be fine then right? Okay so you installed electron cash on your current computer with the electrum wallet which have no more bitcoin. Then the bitcoin cash show showed up. So from there, i would say trade all the bitcoin cash by using a site like shapeshift right to trade it for another altcoin? Thus this is the same thing as what you doing with HITBTC? Is there a reason you and the other person mentioned HITBTC? Is there any difference between that vs a site like shapeshift? Im guessing smaller fees?


So where are your bitcoin now? Its in an online exchange? So that means you cannot keep any bitcoin in electrum anymore in your current computer because you downloaded electron on your current computer? I read people say dont download electron cash on the same computer as your electrum wallet because its the same seed etc. Because wouldnt your computer be at risk with electron cash should you send the btc back to your original electrum wallet on the computer? But if you just create a new electrum wallet on the same computer where you installed electron cash, that is fine?

Hey there. So like the guy who posted previously before you, so you basically did this with your 1 computer right? Thus for me, i just send bitcoin to blockchain or coinbase... install electron cash. Then enter my electrum seed on it... then electron cash shows up. Then instead of what you use, i could just trade my bitcoin cash for bitcoin or any other altcoin using a site like shapeshift as oppose to what you use which is an exchange and that is fine right?


So you then uninstalled electrum and electron cash. Then installed electrum again and thus you have a new seed. Then you sent all your bitcoin from coinbase to the new electrum?


Thanks.
