Hi all-
I heard from a friend that there's a "gate" for receiving the Segwit2 fork.. That is, if you have a small amount of bitcoin, you don't get anything from the fork!
I have a friend who said that this made him lose out on the last fork, since he had only a small amount of bitcoin.
Can someone please confirm this, the minimum amount to hold, and the details?
Also, I'm guessing if my coins are in an exchange, then I'm not affected since the exchange will get it for all their bitcoins? Or not?
It's just wrong... If you controll any unspent output on the old chain, you'll controll the same amount on the new chain.
The only thing that can happen is that the value of the unspent output is to small to create a transaction, because it's not enough to cover a decent fee, or because it's considered dust... When holding BTC on an exchange, you are giving full controll to them tough, it's possible the exchange only credits your account if you have sufficient unspent outputs pre-fork, but that's not a technical problem, rather an exchange policy.
