Bitcoin Cash was such a seamless hard fork.
Has anyone successfully claimed Bitcoin Gold? And how?
This attempt to fork has been very ridicolous so far. They lacked skills, marketing, communication, development. Their website is very basic and they haven't released a wallet yet so far. I'm not really sure there will be a way to claim Bitcoin Gold in the future. Anyway, the important thing is to have control of our private keys, then if in the future there will be a way to obtain this altcoin, well, it will be free money. Otherwise, it won't be a tragedy... this coin will go nowhere anyway...
Reminds me of what Satoshi said, "always save old wallets."
Not sure of the exact phrase but there is nothing wrong with thinking that even in a couple years the scheme may be ready for prime time. Very unlikely but weirder things have definitely happened...
