Is there a straightforward blog/article about what happens technically in regards to a fork/adoption of SEGWIT on Aug 1st?

And is the best approach to put Bitcoin in an offline wallet? If it splits how does this offline bitcoin become NewBitcoin or Bitcoin Classic?

OK I have answered my own question, a link at the top of the forum's home page provides a great guide to the forthcoming 'event'.

There can not be such that people involved in the currency have made irrational actions. I don't believe it. Why should they? I'm sure that there will be no split. Most people think like me so the price fluctuates but within normal limits. We do not see a large drop.

We should not be afraid on that day.It's a updating.

The concept is to update but since two groups wants to have a good position for the update so they are pushing two difference agenda. Thinks will not workout if both of them wont compromise. There should only be one bitcoin and should not split otherwise we will all end up loosing.

The miner dont want to loose their investment in equipment that is why they just want to just increase the block size to speed up the process. While the developer wants to take out from the miners some of the work and give it to another company who is using a Lightning Network to handle some of the processing which can be taken out of the blockchain. This will also speed up the process but the miners work will be reduced.

So which one should happen and who is correct and in the right position? This will affect bitcoin definitely whatever happen.

Nothing will happen. In the end, nobody wants to lose their investment in bitcoin. If bitcoin will split all lose their money. I'm not going to sell their coins and believe that after 1 August we will see an updated bitcoin and the price of coins will continue to grow.

The problem with that is that you are thinking as if people behave in a rational way and will take their best decisions based in their economic interests, but that theory has proven to be incorrect over and over again, so the possibility of a split is real even if it does not make much sense.

I think it will be a good day to buy up Bitcoin and also celebrate because we will be moving forward with better technology. Bitcoin is going to grow up and progress on August 1st.

I was new to bitcoin a month ago, with this situation I was worried about my trade. Is this reasonable?
Are all going back to normal? Huh

Of course there is a big panic among the users regarding the august one. Though people haven't thought of it in such a extreme manner. Now theymos too have given some notification to the users to be on the safe side with limiting the transactions during days close to august one.

Read his lines and he is right. Maybe we need to be carefull cuz no one 100% sure what will be at the end. We can only guess or speculate but it can be bad sides from this to that no one didnt think about it. It is good that some at least noted this and share to everyone at least as his/hers opinion.

Panic will be bigger the closer we are to this date this is normal but effect can be very bad if thing not go as planed.

This dispute is boiling down to a confrontation on August 1st, but right now the exact outcome is unknown because the outcome will depend on the amount and kind of support each side has

If you tried to click on the link just below our Total time logged in the upper left hand corner of the screen and read it, you would really think that the upcoming date will give us a split. That may not be troublesome but it might take some time for the majority party to recover and settle everything.

We are already in July and August 1 is coming...the day when Segwit would start signalling for all and what will happen after this date is something many fear of. Will there be a split and what will happen on the split?

I have already read some assurance that at the current rate things are doing, the possibility for a split is getting remote. Maybe the overarching interest of all stakeholders has already dawned to many.

This is very simple thing , you should think that lot of amount of the Bitcoin are hold by the owner of the Bitcoin , so what will happ if the network of the blockchain will face problem , I mean we don't need to worry much about this , and instead of this some preacuation should be taken by us .
1) Before 1 August transfer your all Bitcoin at the blockchain wallet .
2) If you have Bitcoin then transfer only Bitcoin to your address of blockchain also .
3) don't make transaction like things from any of the Bitcoin wallet .
4) Make backup of your wallet of the blockchain before the 1 August .
If you will do these things , then I don't think that you need to worry anything ways , because you are in official ways and platform and nothing is problem in the official wallets Wink

when you say blockchain wallet, do you mean the website blockchain.info ?

He meant blockchain.info indeed but I personally wouldn't recommend doing so. Go with something like Electrum where you can easily export your private keys and you are in full control at any time, that's not the case for blockchain wallet.

I think I have asked something about this before at some thread.
Then, i am answered.
He says we dont need to be scared of the fork. It will go back to normal and we dont need to sell our bitcoins for precaution.
Just keeping your bitcoin in an offline wallet then everything will be alright.
Sorry I cant find the post to quote him. So I just summarized it.

Of course, this is bitcoin isolation certification, but I think it is impossible to pass, facing 91% attacks Angry
