I don't keep my coins on exchanges but does anyone need to remove the coins? I mean isn't BIP148 now not going to happen since segwit will be in place before that date or have I got this all wrong?
(Still a little confused about the whole thing).

It's the only way you will secure getting your new Bitcoin ABC coins.

So there is going to be a HF for sure on that date? Is that the Jihan fork?
I have my priv keys on a ledger nano S so presume I am ok?
(Sorry if I missed some vital info and your having to repeat).

Yeah, if someone really KNOWS about that Bitcoin Cash thinggy it would be great if he could illustrate all us. I have read a little about it but haven't even realised if it is a sure thing or a bluff, or wtf.

Anyone?

yeah it's happening lots of info/links from here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-bitcoin-cash-pro-on-chain-scaling-cheaper-fees-2040221

Thanks!

Bleh, that thread is full of shills! Not sure it is a good source of neutral info about it.

Anyways, this is the answer for @bones261 question: https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/6ouzh7/bcc_on_a_ledger_nano/dkkdygj/

I think we will have to wait and see. Not going to lose one more minute on that until I can SEE the money

I haven't read up much on Bitcoin ABC. Not sure if any orphaned blocks from Bip91 will show up as valid on that chain, too. Or if it has a flag day of the 1st. If your private keys are in your nano, you'll get everything that is due, eventually. Edit: Just read OP of above link. The flag day is the 1st.

bitserve: actually you scared me into thinking about temporarily withdrawing at least half of the funds from exchange - that would mean buying some coin at current price though, as im in fiat after missing bitcoin rally train.
to withdraw or not to withdraw. that is the question
ugh Cheesy

If you only have a minimum amount of BTC on exchanges IN RELATION to you total holdings, then it is somewhat ok, especially if you plan to trade the volatility.

FIAT is somewhat safe.... unless mtgoxed/bitfinexed....

Anyway, I don't know... I am just on the verge of settling the remaining of my margin long position at kraken thanks to the profits from the past two weeks. This same night if everything goes as expected. From that point on I will be playing safe, but not sure if I will withdraw the remaining BTC or keep trading.

Ok, Ill think it over, but probably will take a risk. In case of increased volatility, there will be an opportunity to make some profits and/or buy some bitcoins cheaper.
..and I'll have to hope, that finex is not the one short of bitcoins Cheesy

Yes, whatever that fucking is.... Free money is free money though. No problem with that.

Also, theres a neat Byteball airdrop on August 7. <- Just a reminder, more free money.

If everyone pulls their coins off the exchanges Aug 1st, I wonder if it will reveal that some of the exchanges are running a fractional reserve, because of reported or unreported hacks.

I was thinking of the same.

Perhaps people are already pulling their coins off exchanges, and that's why the market float is getting thinner.

This.
Volumes nearly halved since yesterday and the day before. It can't be just a weekend thing can it?

I did? I am sure I have previously said that before end of month it would be better to not have open margin positions (for the increased volatility and risk of liquidation) and to ALWAYS (not specifically now) have the minimum amount of BTC on exchanges.

If you only have a minimum amount of BTC on exchanges IN RELATION to you total holdings, then it is somewhat ok, especially if you plan to trade the volatility.

80-90% of my BTC is on my Ledger though.... and will never touch an exchange again. If I want to trade moar, I will deposit more FIAT.
