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!

Proposed (but cancelled) coin splits

OK, see the recent update, see here: https://www.ub.com/news/detail?column=1&id=209

They say 'Both the Bitcoin and UB community have provided extremely helpful feedback. The UB team is committed to the community, so comments are welcomed and encouraged. One area the community made clear needed to be addressed was the claiming process. Due to this feedback, The UB team has changed the process. Bitcoin holders are not required to send Bitcoin from address A to address A or provide a TXID to prove ownership. This will simplify the user experience. Users who have already completed the previous process and have provided TXIDs will be contacted by email with further details.'

An admin on Telegram implies that they will 'check balances at 498777 and see which addresses conducted an outgoing transaction during the pre defined block heights'

I guess they had lots of complaints about the A to A address requirement.
