It means that the users have until that deadline to either trade for BTC or withdraw their BCH if not done by the deadline then it will be auto sold and credited to their account in BTC

Still hodling my BCH. Will buy more if it struggles.

Badbitcoin is obviously a sh*t site. These NO2X guys are really getting desperate. So much hot air from the increasingly small group of fanbois.

Already posted but may have been buried in pointless chitchat

same with this one

A self important autist is publicly ragging on a website due to its owner's preference for open choices for all.

In other words, nothing.

Sure everybody makes their own security paradigm, but there might be a difference between how you are imagining it now and how it would really be if you were in that situation. It's like those fingerprint sensors that are so popular these days. Many people probably think it's so super secure to authenticate using their fingerprints because they are spoon-fed it by all the advertisement but they don't actually think about it much because they don't really have anything that valuable to protect anyway. So they don't realize that fingerprint auth is the worst possible security scheme as you leave your fingerprints everywhere including on the device itself. A password at least needs to be beaten out of you, a fingerprint can be taken from anything you ever touched and in a few seconds can be used to imitate your finger. But people don't think about it because it doesn't really matter anyway, it's all just a game to them.


I suppose you implying you would be "rich" so some terabyte of wasted storage would be "nothing" (saying in a Tony Montana arrogant voice). And that (this attitude) is exactly why most people who suddenly get rich (like winning a lottery) will lose everything and may end up even worse than they were before. So far I haven't had to touch/sell anything I have, I use a small portion for lending at polo and bitfi and that income alone is enough to live life of leisure and support the whole family. Yet I keep working hard and seemingly there is nothing out of ordinary about me going on. Unless you were into IEMs you wouldn't notice that I am usually wearing SE846 and a few similarly priced small gadgets and you definitely wouldn't notice that that superordinary silverish ring on my finger is in fact made of the most expensive precious metal on this planet. The key is to stay below the radar, from the state, from friends, even (and especially) from your own family. It takes only one single mistake to lose everything and/or to get murdered. And yes I will keep complaining about storage requirements because it's a logical thing to do and how cheap a harddrive is to me has nothing to do with it. Making my wealth obvious either by showing off or arrogant snobbish behavior would be a truly stupid thing to do.

I make sure my BTC are moved somewhere safe first and if you had $1m worth then you are stupid if you don't use a hardware wallet and have your recovery seed written down and saved somewhere highly secure and in a fire safe of similar.

Plus if you had that much then running a full node won't be a problem but most users don't have that much or anywhere close to that

Well I guess it depends on how many bitcoins you actually have. If it's next to nothing then all this is just a game to you, but if you have at least a million usd worth of bitcoins and your whole existence (and possibly of others, too) depends on it, then (again, if you have half a brain) you wouldn't even for a second think about using any light wallet or keeping it at an exchange or doing anything less secure than the best. Then you would keep all your devices encrypted, you would use multi-factor authentication and your main worry would be that you forget your very long and very hard to remember passwords because you of course weren't that stupid to write it down. Then even the "low valued" fork is worth enough to live off it for the rest of your life. Then if there is even a small chance that the new fork might replace the original bitcoin you wouldn't even for a second think about selling it. Then you would think and behave totally differently.


Yes, being able to recover in minutes after a failure instead of many hours, if not days, might be a big difference. Again it depends on the amounts and how much is it worth. If you have a $500 car then you won't probably care about it much, but if you have a $500k car then you will probably polishing it every other day even though there is "no point" - the difference is your perception of it and how you treat it changes.

Most now just use light wallets yes I run a BTC core node but I don't use it I have a TREZOR the core node just sits listening to connections there is no active wallet on it

When Bcash forked I just used electron cash I didn't care about a full wallet I just needed to sell same with most of these alts they are very low valued and don't justify running a full node.

1. (SELL) Use a light or hardware wallet
2. (SPLIT) Use a light or hardware wallet
3. (HOLD) Don't do anything but recommended to split
4. (TRADE) Most likely kept on an exchange



Why keep a backup no point back up your wallet yes fair enough but no need to back up the entire chain its not going anywhere the only advantage is quicker sync after a failure

I am talking about us, the users, the bitcoin holders. If I have bitcoins at the moment of the fork then I have the new bitcoins too, so then naturally I want to have a functional respective wallet software to actually be able to use those new bitcoins.

Oh and I forgot - it's not actually 4x 150 GB but 8x 150 GB because, again, everybody with half a brain keeps a backup

Yea but how many support all 4 ? not many

If someone is going to run a node they will just run the one they support the only ones that will run multiple nodes are companies that support all the forks

4 different bitcoin forks require 4 different blockchains. The pre-fork data could possibly be stored only once and linked but I am not sure it would actually be possible to run all forks at once (as I do) and have them all read the same block files, so anybody with half a brain will keep a separate blockchain for each.

No need to store 4 just store the 1 that's all I do I have one core node (0.15.0.1) and that's it

Lol. But I do hope some of those bitcoin forks will really die, recompiling 4 different bitcoin software almost every day is not fun and forcing us to store 4 different (yet mostly identical) blockchains (4x 150 GB) is basically criminal.

Yea they just don't know it yet

Segwit2x is already dead? That's what various people keep saying about bitcoin. I guess somebody forgot to tell the segwit2x developers that their software is dead because they sure are working on their "dead" bitcoin relentlessly.

Not quite bitcoin gold is in a different league due to the hashing requirement it's not trying to replace bitcoin just bring it back to the GPU so everyone is able to mine but will still remain a tiny dot on the map and seg2x won't happen its already dead

Need to make place for the next "the best and the only real bitcoin" a.k.a. bitcoin gold, then bitcoin segwit2x, then whatever other nonsense pops up later.

No but seriously, wasn't bitcoin cash created on assumption that segwit2x wasn't going to happen? It seems that people start believing it will happen and thus maybe they don't see much of a use in bch anymore.
