Topic: UNITED BITCOIN - page 7. (Read 21187 times)

According to the latest on their site, UBTC is going to be distributed on 24th Jan.

I don't understand how to claim it either 

i am confused here..can someone explain what I actually need to do inorder to claim the keys?  I recently transfer some coins to my ledger nano s from 11 december onwards..

Just checked on UB explorer and it would appear that my forked coins have mysteriously moved to a Segwit address that isn't mine?
No such transaction exists on BTC explorer.
Is phase two going to be a manual distribution? So the UB explorer isn't showing the correct amount?
Is there a forum/chat room discussing this somewhere?

I'm sick as a dog, I was looking forward to my UnitedBitcoin airdrop because it has been trading at up to $640.91 in the first week of trading and it is at least as good a concept as Bitcoin Cash. Of all the forks listed below there's not many to be taken seriously.

I thought I knew all about hard forks and the need to hold my addresses and private keys to claim. But unfortunately I just checked the UB explorer at https://www.ub.com/explorer and it seems that I didn't qualify at the time of the snapshot at BTC block height #498777.

The reason is because I'm using the extremely popular Exodus wallet, which, for privacy reasons, sends out your BTC balance from one address and then sends the remaining change back to a new address, and the terms and conditions of the airdrop at https://www.ub.com/news/detail?column=1&id=192 say 'The receiving address must have a prior balance of more than 0.01BTC and must be used as one of the sending (input) addresses.'

I've seriously missed out on $$$$s.

To the many other Exodus wallet users who are gonna find they've also missed out, I feel your pain!

screw it, that's what I'll do then. I just don't want to miss it just in case it ends up being worth a couple hundred like some of the others.

Everything I read about the phase 2 requirement led me to believe a small outgoing transaction by Jan 3 should suffice. That's about all the hustling I'm prepared to do

would make it a lot easier, what do you reckon? do you think that would be safe and work? I'm thinking it would but really have no idea.

Bump. This would be convenient. 

I'm using a ledger wallet, would it be beneficial to transfer only some dust from the addresses in order to satisfy the outgoing activity requirement? or should I transfer the whole amount to a new address?

The addresses I currently have my coins on already have hardfork coins on them, I'd prefer to have all hardfork coins on these addresses so that I can claim all the coins in one hit. Say in a years time.

they haven't mentioned a time limit so yes in theory. however considering the way they're treating inactive balances and how this was announced you'll probably find out about the time limit after they've closed it.

new thought. i transfer all of my btc to a new wallet. i will keep the old private keys.
then , months later whenever i would find the time for it, and feel like it, finished other hard fork claims, i can still download the ub wallet and "claim" the ubtc because they would still be in there based on the private keys, is that correct?

jeff garzik is an enthusiastic data gatherer. i guess that means he can mark your card and trace your real bitcoin with that much more ease.

also they still want to keep the inactive balances on their fork so that's the only way to check that it is active. 

and still, i also just dont get why you would need to transfer something. if it's there on your private keys already, why not just give it. why is that extra outgoing transfer needed for them in order to give you your ubtc. that rule just does not make sense to me.

same here. i maintain a whole administration at a certain moment for this. i did also create a new wallet for bcash and for btc gold, just to be on the safe side.
good part of these was that there was only 1 hard fork at the same time. now there are many of them, with some (if not most) of them still waiting for the main network to go live, or waiting for replay protection (and even then i prefer to create a new wallet again to be sure)

i mean, if i use the private keys on the ubtc wallet, i can not be sure that they are not going to try them out on any of the other hard forks to see if something is still in there

yes. but for me my seed is stored in numerous places and written down manually. redoing all of that is going to be a pain in the ass. i'll see if ub is worth anything before doing that.

i dont mind creating a new wallet and send everything to that one. just hate to use the old private keys on one of these hard forks, because there are so many hard forks to claim out of which some of them can not be claimed yet. the whole system with claiming with private keys is too fragile in that way.

so, in short, create new wallet, send all btc over there.
on the third of january download ub wallet, use private keys of old wallet and see your UBTC balance... is that correct?

still kinda weird, but yes it looks like you need to send them out of a wallet by that point, but that's annoying because it had to have balance a few months back which means you have to use the private key of your cold storage or hardware wallet which will screw up your storage if you have seeds locked away.

i think i preferred the previous version where you sent it hardware wallet - temporary wallet - hardware wallet which left you with a junk key. this way means you'll have to get a new seed for your main storage.

thanks for letting us know, appreciated!

so now it will be like this:

"
During phase 2, an amount of UBTC, equal to the balance at Bitcoin block 498,777, will be distributed at a 1:1 ratio to eligible addresses that satisfy the following conditions.
(1) did not receive UBTC in the first round; and
(2) had a Bitcoin balance at block 498,777 higher than 0.01 BTC; and
(3) had activity (outgoing) between block 494,000 and 501,878 (around 12th November 2017 to 3rd January 2018);
"

i am hodling, since before 498,777. i did nothing with my coins, so i did not have activity so far.
based on (3) above this means that i need to 'have activity before block 501,878' or otherwise i will NOT receive them? so, just transfer from my wallet to another wallet for instance?

that number (3) doesn't make sense to me to be honest.
