There's a lot of confusing, contradictory and pessimistic/optimistic posts since the fork here. But not a lot of clear information.
Some of us here are new to the board and crypto in general. I just got a wallet and transferred BCT to it last night.
I was told yesterday that if you owned bitcoin, no matter where you have it stored, before the BCA fork, you could at some point once the dust settles, transfer it to a BCA-viable exchange or wallet (sending public and private keys) and receive the equivalent BCA.
Is this true or not? Can we all get on that basic info page 1st, from those who know to those who are noobs, about BCA? Because I don't for sure know what to believe thanks to some alarms being raised here about being cheated, or Atom being a scheme to rob us of keys, etc etc.
Someone earlier also suggested "sweeps" to me. I don't know what that means but want to learn. I have a good feeling about Atom but so far that's all it is, and not enough motivation to turn my private key over to a wallet that isn't even populated yet!
If anybody can point those of us who don't have enough knowledge yet in the right direction so we can learn credible info about how to navigate the fork turf , it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
NEVER EVER send your private key anywhere. Move yout Bitcoins to a new address before you do anything (paid 50cent in fees 2h ago).
Wait until Coinomi supports it and sweep the now empty private key which held Bitcoin due the fork. Did that with Bitcore now 20$ per coin
