Topic: will I receive BCC from poloniex after Aug. 1? - page 3. (Read 7393 times)

Just to play it safe, I would definitely move your BTC from Poloniex into a wallet that you control. I'd use Exodus, or even better, purchase a Ledger and hold it there. You'll have access to your private keys and be in a far safer position than on online hot wallet.

Our plans to handle potential BTC network disruptions

There are a number of proposals for technical changes to Bitcoin that may take effect in the coming weeks, so we are taking this opportunity to communicate our plans for managing any resulting network disruption. We take no position on the desirability of any particular proposal nor do we have a stake in any outcome. Our primary concern is protecting our users and their tokens.

As we have done in the past when faced with similar circumstances (1), any decision we make will be with the security of users' tokens in mind. We will be disabling deposits and withdrawals of Bitcoin (and all BTC related tokens) any time we deem necessary to ensure that all tokens stored on Poloniex remain safe. The length of any possible downtime is unknown as this is highly dependent on network stability. Our objective will be to bring the wallet back online and enable deposits and withdrawals as soon as we believe it is safe to do so. Trading will be unaffected during these periods.

At this time, we cannot commit to supporting any specific blockchain that may emerge if there is a blockchain split. Even if two viable blockchains emerge, we may or may not support both and will make such a decision only after we are satisfied that we can safely support either blockchain in an enterprise environment. If we decide to support and make available derivative blockchain tokens after a blockchain split, note that if you have your tokens on loan at the time of a split, we cannot distribute the derivative tokens to you, the lender, as you would not possess them. Such loaned tokens can, and often do, leave the platform. (2)

If you don't want to leave the decision of which Bitcoin tokens to support (or recognize as valid) to a 3rd party, you should not keep your tokens on any 3rd party platform. We encourage you to follow our Twitter and Notices board for updates.

to xapo ? i thought xapo was a bank card services, visa that permit you to withdraw cash and to pay your stuff, why would people send btc there for the 1 august ?

SEnd your bits to XAPO or Electrum and it will do just good!

I have the same question and if someone would please update this post as soon as they get the answer it would be great, for poloniex mostly, cause if we need to cash out itcan be long and we should start now, thanks to update it whenever someone know about poloniex an dbcc support

It's not advisable to let your coins stay at an online/web wallet or an exchange. Most of the experts are saying that its' good if you are going to hold your bitcoins where you have the control to the private keys / seed. That's a better place of storing your bitcoins. Bittrex has enable withdrawal's maybe they'll do something about it soon.

I think they are yet to officially announce something about it but bittrex has already announced that they will be taking care of the funds and will be distributing the coins if there is a split in the network and if they did not announce this week,then never expect them to give you the split coins.

Just withdraw your coins from there, their customer support is horrible.

You can, if you have completed the verification process. non-verified users have the limits you've mentioned.

Not recommended for new users, use electrum/mycelium instead.

Any wallet from which you control the private keys is fine in the event of chain splits.  Frankly it's pretty irresponsible for people to even be carrying their coins on exchanges now, after BIP 91.
This is a lie.  It's not a clone, it's a modification intended for people who support larger blocks.
Well, looks like a very neutral and unbiased opinion.

It's impossible to predict how much support BCC will get in terms of speculators, so just like how you should have your coins in your own wallet all the time when you're not trading, you should have your coins in your personal wallet now.

Suggesting otherwise is allowing exchanges to basically steal money from you that you should have a right to, just like what most of them do with Stellar Lumens and Byteball.
It's OK - you have until August 1st, which means that you can withdraw >$10000 before you need to start worrying about the coins you have on Poloniex.  If you have a verified account, this isn't a problem at all.

Only problem is you can't withdraw all your money if you only have a withdrawal limit of $2000 a day.

Now the most reliable way to store bitcoin is not the stock exchange, but mobile purses.

ust withdraw your bitcoins and store in electrum wallet in your pc so that you would have full control your coins.People have started realizing that hard fork is nothing but FUD spread and hence bitcoin price has triggered.Bitcoin is yet to continue its journey for a long time.

Talking like a real greedy IDIOT!. BCC will be just another shitty alt which will bring NOTHING to the table but the option for Roger Ver and the gang to spread their hashrate and make them more money. Whoever gets this for free should dump it the moment they get.

Electrum is light weight wallet so no syncing is required you will be able to send and receive bitcoin just after you complete installation.

BCC is just another clone of bitcoin created by few miners so don't expect it to compete with bitcoin. But if you hold your bitcoin in addresses under your control like in electrum you will get some free BCC which you can dump when it will be listed. Who don't love the free money 

No, I not see Poloniex have notification this problem, maybe they will do like Coinbase and user not receive when have HardFork split chain network Bitcoin. But if you interesting with Bitcoin Cash, I think you can send your Bitcoin to Bittrex, but I don't know Bittrex in present has unblock their wallet or still frozen!

July 31 you meant?



Of course, this is a sure thing to do. Better be safe than sorry. Especially now that Polo is acting up already even before the August 1 date.

There is no guarantee that there will be another coin. But be on the safer side and transfer all your Bitcoins to a desktop or mobile wallet. If you control your private keys then you'll be safe.

Whether bitcoin can operate again after the 31st of August?
