So, August 1st is approaching and everyone is getting a bit nervous. I wonder in which wallets will you keep your bitcoins, which ones you trust the most and know that your coins will be secure and you'll have access to them?

Most of the exchanges are not supporting the BCC at least for now, of course, it will be a little mess generally but it will be back to normal within few days.
I'm keeping them in Electrum and a very small amount in exchanges as I trade a very small amount time by time.

I will decide before August 1st I will save and put Bitcoin in Bittrex trading purse, because I am sure it is very safe to save my Bitcoin, and they have told all the members listed in Bittrex, if there is any problem with your Bitcoin storage. In lost Bittrex, They will be responsible for it. For me this is all fair enough for their answers.

If I had an opinion with you before the 1st of August I will not sell bitcoin but I will store bitcoin in bittrex trade wallet, because with us storing bitcoin in bittrex trade wallet is much safer if we experience a very heavy problem, so is bitcoin in Bittrex who lost their will be responsible for everything

I will keep them in Electrum. Yesterday was released version 2.9.0 which will support both chains if a hard fork happens. We have to wait and not make any transactions during and a bit after August 1 until the waters will calm down and we will see a winner.

Same for me. I use Electrum as a safe harbor.

I will keep my coins in Mycellium wallet. It allows access to private keys and I think it's safe enough. Still I don't think there is a reason for panic snd hope for the best. Spliting might not happen so everything is going to stay as it was before. Like some say, keep calm and carry on.

I hope they are in the form of a paper wallet or some device where you have control over the private keys. Roll Eyes

This whole thing are

being blown out of proportion by people spreading FUD to capitalize on the panic that will result from this. You could see that from

the price swings in the last week. The price dip and FUD increase, people buy the cheap coins and the price increase. The best

advice will be to stay calm and have your coins in a service/hardware wallet or cold storage, where you have full control over the

private keys for those coins. Wink

we should keep calm it may cause dump weeks ago but it can recover anytime soon or maybe when that August 1 split day ends everything can be back to normal,so hope for the best.

Personally i'm using electrum. Obviously has been one of the oldest bitcoin projects going on, you don't need to download the full blockchain which is simply a hassle, no private information is stored on their servers and it's completely free.

Anything that you can hold your own private keys with will do, really. However make sure that the site is trusted so that you know they're not going to steal your coin. A paper wallet is probably the easiest way, if you want to claim your BCC after the split.

Coinbase isn't going to give you anything, which is quite unexpected considering bitcoin cash is worth $300 right now. So don't use them, whatever you do.

I am storing my Bitcoins in a Ledger Nano S hardware wallet.

By the way: I found a good article on Ledger Nano S & Bitcoin Cash:

Alts because everyone will be selling their BCC, thus pumping the alts = free money 👍🏻

I'm going to hold everything in my electrum wallet. I think it's the safest option if you don't have a hardware wallet yet. It supports a split, you have the private keys and it's super lightweight.

Here is a guide by Theymos:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/guide-handling-splits-uasfs-bip148-etc-2012799

You can see which wallet he recommends. I personally used Electrum. But Core is also a good alternative. By now everybody should have settled on what wallet to used. Barely 48 hours before the "feared" Aug 1 day.

Thank you for that link, plenty of useful information there. I'm not panicing or something and I think that split could be avoided but it's good to know what are the options and what people think. Just for the case and to be prepared.

My trusted bitcoin wallets are Xapo & Blockchain.info - I'm sure they are ready for anything that may arise on the "D-Day" and they'll select the best chain after the split for their users to stay safe without losing their bitcoin. First off, I'll divide my bitcoin in 3 ways, 1. Xapo 2. Blockchain 3. Bitcoin Exchange and exhange my BTC to USD to have peace of mine. Grin

I think we had more than enough discusiion regarding this and finally we are approaching the day of the fork,i really think that we are in safe hands if you keep your coins in your own desktop or mobile wallet and what ever split coins that may appear,i will be getting those and i will gladly hold those too.

I think I would try to put it in to alt-coin,
And see how it works I would try to invest my bitcoin in some alt-coin and hope that it would gain some profit after a couple of week.

I will keep my BTC on Bittrex. I usually have them in Coinbase, but they sent me an email that they are only going to support one network. They will not support the Bitcoin Cash fork, and that if I wanted to access both (BTC and BCC), I needed to withdraw bitcoin stored in their wallet before 11.59 pm PT July 31st, 2017.

On the other hand, Bittrex is supporting both networks, and there was an article stating that they will give you BCC according to your BTC in a 1:1 ratio. So I just transferred all my BTC from Coinbase to Bittrex.

Normally, trusting exchanges is not a good idea in case of a hard fork of bitcoin. This time, bittrex made a statement saying that they will provide BCC for us, but, let's see what's gonna happen then.

I also moved my bitcoin funds to bittrex so that I could bet my BCC. Hopefully, they don't make a mistake, there is still risk to be on exchanges during this fork.
