Yes, the guy went to the spoof site -- eletrum-wallet.com to split his BTC and Bitcoin Gold and once he entered his private
key there, his coins was stolen.

But the point is, you never give your private keys to anyone - that's the same as giving them all your money. No reputable site would ask for your private keys so it's an immediate red flag.

Where is your bitcoin?

Some exchanges will halt trading immediately before (like an hour) the fork is scheduled to occur and won't return access to transactions until they know it is safe to do so. This could be an hour or it could be a day. So keep that in mind if you leave your bitcoin with an exchange. It may be frozen for a short time after the fork.

Usually this is the case. And just like the recent fork the exchange where my coins are they advised not to make any transactions during a specific span of time until they told us to do so just to be safe. This upcoming fork, I think coins.ph will also do the same. They don't support any hardforks though, just like bch but then they spread news that they are taking consideration and studying what best to do with it. Then after a month they decided to just give everyone the equivalent of bch in btc who has btc in their wallets during the fork. So what they did is converted bch value into btc value then deducted all fees incurred.

In the maddening rush to claim the free bitcoingold coins and in all we do, let us remember what happened with the dude who told his story here of how he lost 45.8 btc in the last fork of August 1. He wrongly moved his fucking 45.8 bitcoins and they disappeared into thin air! The story is found here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/release-the-hounds-458-btc-stolen-electrum-walletcom-criminal-sticky-pls-2059967

key there, his coins was stolen. This can happen to everyone, if you are in a hurry to get your new Bitcoin Gold too. Make

sure you use the correct site, when you do this and also for the wallet sites for Bitcoin Gold. Roll Eyes

..... There will be a lot of

confusion and greed during this split and criminals will exploit this. Angry

I think. The surest way is to put your bitcoin in your wallet and don't move it. There are more bitcoins and more chips. Friend

this has nothing to do with my concern, he lost his money because he downloaded a malware, not because the fork, please read better next time the subject

Why should i move Bitcoin?? And anyone knows which exchange will give bitcoin gold in this bitcoin fork??

because you need to claim your bitcoin gold fork and to do this you need to move first your bitcoin to avoid lose them, then you dump the private key and take your forked bitcoin

can we move our bitcoin before the new fork happen? and after? how it work exactly do we risk to lose our coins because of replay attack? from 25 october to 1 novemeber there will be this new fork i want to know thnaks

Safest way to approach this would be:
- wait for the fork to finish (day or two)
- move your bitcoins to the new address.
- import the private key into the new 2x/gold wallet.
- send/spend new 2x/gold coins.

With this you should be on the safe side.

Before fork everything will be just normal and there isn't any problem to move your funds where ever you want. But after fork there is probability of replay attack because your transactions will be valid on both chains but you can take the safe path by using the hardware wallets like trezor which are somehow save from these replay attacks.

I expect the occurrence segwit 25 october later as bitcoin cash, so all the bitcoin that I save on the web wallet safe and not reduced at all, even then I also keep in bittrex and it all does not matter.

Then all the transaction will be slower and fees will be increased like last time right! I expect the segwit activation should be taken happen nearing to the hard fork like 18th or 20th of November.
If segwit has been activated bitcoin transaction blocks will be increased then fees will be decreased compared with the fiat currency value.

Actually, Already I moved my Bitcoin. I kept my Bitcoin on Bittrex wallet. Becuase Bittrex supports Hardfork. At the last Hardfork I kept my Bitcoin on Bittrex wallet and I got BCC on Bittrex account. That's why I move my Bitcoin on Bittrex wallet.

While the hard fork day is near, put it on the wallet that holds your private keys. So you do not have to worry about what happens to your btc hold. You can also receive free btg or bitcoin gold. On the day of forking it is still just a bitcoins now because BTG distribution is 1: 1 meaning how many bitcoins you hold is that the BTG you get

yeah but my concern is if i can use the same private key to claim both fork bitcoin cash and gold o i need to move my coins two times

The best thing to do in my opinion is to just pretend this is not happening. Do what you have always done. If there is a bonus with BTG - then great. The energy used is a waste of time because in reality no one knows.

That is easy for you to say as long as the price of Bitcoin is always going up, right? You have your choice but it is people like you that should start being involved and have your voice heard.

If you want to pretend that nothing is happening then why are you in the forum?

Both those forks are reluctant to include replay protection because it will be openly admitting that their fork is the altcoin. But what choice do they have? In Jeff Garzik's case, he wants a hard fork but he still wants to retain the name and the brand "Bitcoin"? It will take more than the miners and the NYA signatories to do that because they do not represent the community.
