It looks like you believe by throwing a lot of terminology into your thread title that is going to get more attention but it does it what exactly is one-to-one what sort of work is that is that a fork in it a separate coin altogether is it a fork or you're tempting to destroy the original coin which wouldn't be a fork what exactly do you have going on?
When is the ElectrumCash wallet going to be ready and will I be able to use alongside my regular Electrum wallet?

Great, thanks.
Most other coins I've used that forked, you only had to download the blockchain from the point of split. you didn't have to do a full sync, the drawback was you couldn't use the old tokens in the new wallet. the drawback with bitcoin ABC is the entire bitcoin blockchain is a beast. 99 gigs. it's a monster and takes several days to sync a wallet.
Yes, many altcoin developers have taken some old version of Bitcoin Core as a starting point for their own projects. They've forked this codebase but have not forked Bitcoin's blockchain.
Bitcoin's blockchain is currently 477175 blocks long and 123.4 GB in size:
Code:
user@host:~$ du -c .bitcoin/blocks/blk*
...
123414136 total
...
123414136 total
Notice that with full, 8MB blocks, BitcoinCash's blockchain would grow this much by mid-November. I don't expect BitcoinCash's blocks will be anywhere near full but I think this observation highlights the BitcoinCash philosophy. Long term, the initial 123.4 GB is but a drop in the bucket.
ain´t it it better, just to wait a night to sync ?
To avoid a full synch of the bitcoinabc.org wallet can I point it at a copy of the core blockchain?
Surely. Maybe try:
- Close both Bitcoin ABC and Bitcoin Core.
- Locate the "blocks" directory for each implementation.
- Backup ABC's blocks directory.
- Copy the contents of Core's blocks directory to ABC's blocks directory
- Start Bitcoin ABC.
I'm not in a position to try this so I can't be more precise.
Given that Bitcoin ABC is a derivative of Bitcoin Core, I would expect it to be able to handle the situation. It will probably want to rescan or something but it shouldn't try to download the blockchain it already has.
If it fails then you can recover from the backup and continue syncing. You could also think about waiting for Bitcoin Unlimited's implementation.
Most of miners have already signal support for Segwit. Time to wake up man.
... wait until Blockstream and the USAF-Trolls deny the 2x part of the agreement !
(they promised many times they will do so)
time will tell, but be prepared
Good luck then..

why do you even need the entire blockchain, anything before the fork is irrelevant, it's old chain, so why not just truncate the chain and make it a smaller download?
Thanks but when I start the ABC wallet it starts synching from 8 years ago. I don't know how to truncate a chain so can I use a copy of the current core chain?
In future this coin will die as there is only one Bitcoin .
Still all the best .

You are right - there is only one Bitcoin following Satothies Whitepaper,
and this is THIS coin.
... the miners will decide, and the investors will follow.
Good luck with your Blockstream Segwit Altcoin.
P.S. if you want to be sure you get your BCC (I guess this will change to BTC), put your BTC into paper wallet before the 30th of July !
You tell me which miners are going to support this shitcoin. All miners are signalling Segwit, which will be activated soon. you are a fool to believe otherwise.
Dont be delusional..

Errrr, no. The miners try to bully, cheat and manipulate the system. Just like a government. Well, you're about to find out that Jihan, for all his studies in psychology, has got this one badly wrong. Price is immaterial, fat cats and their greedy cartels can jog on.
Think of it as a long overdue Brexit for Bitcoin. How did that pan out for the corrupt elites?
Enjoy the dumpfest.

i will believe that when i see it. investors are spread across the world. miners are huddled around a few dams in rural china. no one cares what they want or think nor should they. all they should do is mine what everyone else is using.

Is there any chance for our private keys getting stolen when we import them in a possible rogue BitcoinABC wallet?
Yes. And there is a chance for losing your BTC due to replay attacks.
Although it uses the Bitcoin ABC software, Bitcoin Cash seems a bit shady to me.
