Grrr. It is getting messy in the bitcoin discussion thread.
There is also an altcoin discussion since it is already concluded that it is an altcoin.
Hi there, moderators. Let us go back to the way it should be.
This might affect the bitcoin value if it spreads more.

BCC was designed to take place from Segwit Bitcoin which is not Bitcoin at all (it's in definition listen to Peter Rizun recent speech). That's why we're discussing Bitcoin Cash in Bitcoin thread, coz we think of him as of a rightful heir!

BCC is literal trash. Who the hell would want this as the new gold standard?

I prefer to think of it this way: you're trashy skank, and BCC shall prevail u'll see.

How would the BCC chain know what coins you spend on the BTC chain and vise versa? Wouldn't their separation mean you could sell both 100 BTC and 100 BCC? After the split the two chains will not interact or connect at all and only share the historical block chain, so how would they know you spent 10 BTC or BCC to take i from your balance of the other?


I think you need to be more clear with your advise. It's not "don't sell your BCC", it's "don't sell". Everyone (with private keys) will get an amount of BCC that equals the amount they have in BTC. For example, let's say someone owns 100 Bitcoin. They will then also own 100 BCC. If they sell 10 bitcoin, they will then have 90 bitcoin and 90 BCC.

The more I read posts today the more it sounds like people think they're getting something for free. They're not...they're just getting the option to convert existing Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash.


Yes, he HabBear has no idea how it works.
Once the fork is complete you will be able to move your private key to a wallet that supports BCC and be able to spend your BCC. If you spend BCC, your BTC will remain, so you ARE getting something for free!

Yeah, but if some BTC exchange doesn't support BCC, they can try to steal your BCC whilst you transacting your BTC. Coz keys are equally apt for both currencies, aren't they?

Re: Roger Ver holds around 300k bitcoins worth $750 Million and wants the fork

"We define an electronic coin as a chain of digital signatures"  https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

And Segwit is removing this signatures from Bitcoin into separate application. I wonder if it remains it remains Bitcoin or smth. else? Satoshi did it one way and Core is doing something completely different.

So let's say straightforward: BIP148 undoing Bitcoin into smth else. Bitcoin is being destroyed with its place being taken by smth completely different. Why on earth, under suck circumstances, should we adopt this shit, instead of just increasing block size of what we all know and love as Bitcoin, which main definition is, as u know: "electronic coin as a chain of digital signatures"

What do you think about this, my dear friend?

Second, did you even notice that all of a sudden, as soon as segwit2x was signaling intention, the mempool back log went to nearly zero and accordingly, the transaction fees and the and the delays went down to normal levels too.  Get in touch with reality and stop citing misinformation and fantasy to support your stupid ass theories about bitcoin supposedly being broken.  Roger cites this same kind of pie in the sky nonsense that is out of touch with reality; however, the fact that a whole bunch of you big blocker nutjobs are citing the same wrong facts does not make them any more true... and don't come out saying that there are various versions of truth because there are not.



   About this. IMO this might have happened coz many people stopped using bitcoin and mempool was not so stocked, fees reduced accordingly.

You are living in a dreamland, and stating facts that are counter to real logic and dynamics.

There have been all kinds of usage in the past few weeks, and the mempool remains without much of any backup and with very low fees.  The spamming stopped a few weeks ago.. not a coincidence, but big blocker nutjob miners stopped aiming their mining power at attacking the network... at least temporarily.

So basically you're saying that all these delays were due to "testing" of the system. Can u explain me - has 1Mb block enoughcapacity  for at least 1/8 of population of Earth to use Bitcoin without interruptions? Given that no one is testing Bitcoin network? Cause if it is, then Core was coerced to implement Segwit2x? Was it blackmailing?

Peter Rizun says that definition of Segwit is contradicting the very foundation of Bitcoin, that was laid out by Satoshi himself. What's your opinion on this matter?

I support Bitcoin Cash and here's why.

Look at this chart https://coinmarketcap.com/charts/#dominance-percentage it says that from February 21 up to June 17 Bitcoin market share has dropped from 87% to 38! Doesn'i it bother you people at all? That's why price went down to 1700$, PEOPLE STOPPED USING BITCOIN, because of the lack of credibility- namely slow transactions and high as fuck fees. After that price returned to ~2700$ ONLY because of speculations around Segwit2x. It's the only reason, bBitcoin  is dying and u all know it.


Yeah, another nutjob with distorted facts.

The reality of the matter is that various cryptos were pumped to hell, including ethereum, and during that time bitcoin was at all time highs too, but the pump jobs were growing at a faster rate.  That is hardly evidence of a dying bitcoin... so get your selective facts straight instead of trying to spin a situation in some pie in the sky wish.

The fact of the matter is that there is no need for increasing the blocksize limit, yet, and down the road we see how segwit plays out, then maybe at some point (maybe a few years from now) there will be a need to increase the blocksize limit.  Gotta take one step at a time, and the first step is the bullish as fuck situation that segwit is soon to lock-in and subsequently activate.. which is very powerful for the building on of bitcoin and making bitcoin the only fucking coin that maintains a decentralized set up - in spite of the misinformation of the big blocker nutjobs and the forkers who are continuing to want to deceive and propaganda with their shitty ass and seemingly coercion intended hardfork.



   First things first. You're an imbecile.

   And second, if altcoins were pumped, don't you think it's because people disappointed in Bitcoin started to draw their bitcoins into Ethereum and whatever? You're insulting people and obviously think yourself to be so high and mighty, but u've never cited any reasonable facts to support your dumbass position on matter at hand.

Yeah right.  You should look in the mirror newbie. 

You are likely paid to make these dumbass lame theories that are not based in reality. 

First of all your theories are based upon incorrect facts, and then second you engage in spinning of those lame "facts" in order to arrive at your pie in the sky conclusion that bitcoin is either broken or dead... Nonsense.  Bitcoin is a long way from either being broken or dead, and these are bullish as fuck times for bitcoin and the greatness of segwit.

Sorry for your loss and your inability to convince anyone except those who are equally in a fantasy way of thinking.


OOOHH BOY "Greatness of Segwit". It sounds like "The Glory of God" or smth like that. U're fanatic, not a reasonable at least sentient being

I know that many prominent Bitcoiners have put their weight behind Bitcoin ABC, namely Craig Wright, Roger Ver, Jihan Wu, and maybe even Gavin Andresen with Mike Hearn. I suppose that's good reason to believe in success of Bitcoin Cash and think that Bicoin Cash will replace Bitcoin BIP148, i'm only making conjectures here and hope for the brighter future for Bitcoin.

It could be a very long day today.

The Bitcointalk forums could be Ddosed, Bitcoin service providers like exchanges and wallet providers may go off line.

Websites and companies may be hacked. Be extremely skeptical of everything you read.

Be wary of any links on this website unless your behind a VPN. If someone sends you a private message asking you to click a link don't do it! Your giving away your IP address to a potential hacker.  

And while we all want Bitmain-cash to die may I suggest letting the VC money (the stupid money) pump it up a bit before we all sell? I hate this shit just as much as you but it may be worth more in 6 months then it is today.

Don't trust Bitmain-Cash-wallets they could be back-doored.

To Avoid replay attacks on the Bitcoin network create a new Bitcoin wallet and move your Bitcoins to that wallet AFTER the fork then use your old now empty wallet with a Bitmain-cash wallet.

Make encrypted backups of all your wallets new and old before doing anything.

Make sure your passwords are really strong. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1822653.msg18152557#msg18152557



And remember Don't Panic! Everything is going to be ok.  

May I ask you one question, with segwit activated will Bitcoin users fall off like previously to altcoins or this process will be a little bit slowed?

Even though I support Bitcoin Cash over Bitcoin Segwit, I know that Bitcoin Cash will be the lesser chain until maybe November.  If Bitcoin Segwit does not activate 2MB blocks in Nov, then there is a really good chance that Bitcoin Cash will become the real chain.

When was the last time when u actually bought smth with BTC? Users are defecting to fiat money because of long transactions and draconic fees. Segwit won't do shit about this, and u know it, and evveryone knows it, BTC is going down, cause of callousness of Core.

What do you mean, the point of segwit is just that to reduce fees and enable side chain solutions that will make bitcoin infinitely scalable. Bigger blocks cannot achieve this alone.

Side chain solution? Are you out of your mind? Bitcoin was designed to be a solution per se, solution for cheap, fast transactions for everyone. When your toilet is broken and overflowed, are you running outside to build an outhouse instead??

https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf Read this, it says: "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System".    CASH system, not some speculative bullshit burdened with fees and unreliable transaction time.

Re: BTC vs BCC

on 30/07/2017, 21:42:23 UTC
I draw conclusions from several things
Bitcoin has many supporters / miners Bitcoin has many developers
So far bitcoin has been tested in its development and implementation
Bitcoin has been massively adopted

Bitcoin cash
Created by fork of bitcoin, which eventually becomes altcoin
Do not have a miner yet
Not yet in mass adoption

I am sure, bitcoin is better than bitcoin cash

I've seen some figures according to which Bitcoin has lost smth about 50%  of active users recently. It's a very great adoption do we have here, when very small fraction of world population adopts some kind of money and after that half of this small fraction leaves it. I wonder why? Why're people leaving Bitcoin? Can't manage to find plausible excuse for them, can you?

What will happen after the segwit in btc and altcoins in any trading sites? What will be its possible effect to all traders?

if everything go well then the altcoin in fall 2017 will increase again, if there will be a chain split, nothing really will happen, because the new chain will be a new altcoin, but if this new chain will be the new main chain, this can be a problem, i think now investors are dumping altcoin, becuase they want to get the free bitcoin cash and dump for free money, just that

You're talking nonsense, just like a lot of you. U think that price is going up cause people wanna make quick buck out of BCH, but nature abhors the void and price of BCH will be taken away off Bitcoin. Think of it, BCH will be a part of Bitcoin that is designated not only for speculators and idiots, but for everybody: every one will be able to buy anything very fast not going  through hours of waiting like if it would be a public toilet inside the stadium and paying for this bullshit extra cash and it will be a former PART OF BITCOIN, a part which will take away some of its value.

Thanks God we have alts,i really cant hear all that storys about new bitcoins BU,BCC etc it is all greedy and stupidity hard to live in that kind of enviroment.It is endless talks and pseudo improvement Mike Hearn is big banks boy enough for me to stay away from BCC

Yeah, I know, Mike Hearn is with R3. But hey, from what kind of sources people get money for all these incredible mining farms in CHina and Iceland and US? Is it mom and pop business? They just pushed their hand under their mattresses and pulled out a little bit of unrelated to any banks money in order to operate tens of thousands top-notch pieces of hardware?  When Mt. Gocks scammed all their investors under pretext of their bank acc in America being seized and Karpeles was nos so sad about it hanging out with cocaine and hookers, should we blame Mike Hearn as well? I'm not questioning scale of decentralisation and democracy in bitcoin btw, just a little bit curious.

Can you explain as simple as I am 7 years old.

I have Bitcoin Core wallet.dat file.

What should I do to get BCC?

Simply put - nothing. Just wait hard fork, after that if you're keepin your bitcoins in exchange, they may or may not give you Bitcoins BIP148 and BCC. If you're keeping your bitcoins in private storage, then just wait until wallets will make official announcements what version of which wallet conforms with BCC code for sure. Right now it's a bit of commotion.

There's no telling what should be reaction of other miners to BCC. They may be prone to try to DDOS BCC, and it's not obvious whether you can trust your private key, because if you showed it in order to get Bitcoin BIP148, there's a chance, it might be used to stole your BCC. So just relax and wait for further development. Don't move your coins until this tumult will settle down

I'm not too worried about it... but to say it's free money is a little off.  One of the things I love about crypto is it's pure capitalism; supply and demand.  When Bitcoin Cash comes out, any dollar (demand) sent to it must come from somewhere else.  It likely will not have an obvious impact to BTC, but it will impact it.

There's only so much demand for crypto and the more supply the lower the demand... what we need to do is raise overall demand for crypto; and I personally want it to be in BTC since that's where most of my stash is.  Having numerous alt-coins spin out of BTC lowers overall demand for BTC.

Hear, hear. Pure capitalism. Why did the price went down to 1700$ recently? Cause of stupidity of the Core regarding time of txs confirmation matter. Why is it pumped-up right now? Because of idiots and speculators who wanna make a quick buck out of the thin air. As of by now, BCC or BCH is a part of Bitcoin. So when it'll split up it'll take with it part of the Bitcoin, am I right? So bitcoin will go down only if whales won't step in and artificially will make price go up or whatever the want
