Topic: Should I start a Bitcoin cash node? (Read 556 times)
What does it matter how a coin is called. I went to the stock exchange, bought it cheaper, sold it more expensively, I earned it. Coins are not icons to pray. What difference does it make to me, what is the algorithm in it? You have to trade and earn more, and not go into technical details. And the bitcoins are already expensive and it's already hard to make money on them.
I'm thinking of copying the relevant part of the blockchain onto an SSD, and then running a Bitcoin Cash node on a different computer. I've read that there can be problems if you try to run both nodes on the same computer, so this seems to be a safer option. To me, it seems that the easiest option would be to add my Bitcoin address into my Cash wallet, and send the funds into the new address. I could then delete the address for the "true" Bitcoin.
Are there any security risksin doing this?

I'm a supporter of Bitcoin core, and I've been ignoring all the forking nonsense. I'm waiting for things to stabilise before I start trying to sell domain names for Bitcoins again. I've got a small amount in a core wallet - should I start a Bitcoin cash wallet to replicate this?
Does everyone have to take sides?
I'm running both Cash and Core.

I cant tell you what to do. Personally, that is my plan. I am motivated by the chance to make a quick buck and my political beliefs. I should be only end Aug (at-least that's the plan). It certainly is going to be an interesting couple of months. I am looking forward to it.
I'm the guy who picks up pennies if he sees them in the street, so if there is any cash to be picked up, then I'll do it. On the other hand, I'd like to see Bitcoin stable, and continuing to establish itself as a store of wealth. Currently my wallet contains less than one Bitcoin, so the amount is not significant enough to risk the stability of Bitcoin's future.
it depends on what you mean by small!
go to an exchange or visit coinmarketcap.com and see how much your "small amount" is worth. if it was a decent amount then start thinking about ways you can access it. and a full node is only one of them. you may be able to do it mush simple and faster.

If you believe in bitcoin cash, why not? If you don't and don't are about the forking fiasco then just keep on using bitcoins and not create the node. What benefit will you get from it anyway, right? Why would you want to replace your core wallet to bitcoin cash. So that would mean you will forgo bitcoins and just take bitcoin cash?
