btc fork going down tomorrow.. you'll get equal value of what you're holding in BTC.. Equates to about 1/16 of BTC current value at the time of the fork.

Where is the best place to have your btc to get this? Any suggestions much appreciated. Also opinion of it would get there from gdax/Gemini fast enough for me to try.

Lastly does anyone know exact time your btc needs to be in to be credited

Thanks. Any info much appreciated. I only have exchanges Gemini, gdax, bittrex and my trezor. Haven’t used other places to store so not sure where to put it safely to receive reward for the fork

I moved all my btc to bittrex. They were supporting the original segwit2x fork and hopefully they will support this one too. They seem to be the most "fork friendly" exchange. There is also an airdrop for nxt tomorrow too and Bittrex has announced support for that.

See post above this one. Also, there is no exact time. Forks happen at a scheduled block and the time that block happens is always an estimate.

this article claims that coinbase, along with multiple other exchanges will be supporting the segwit2x fork.

Can anyone else confirm this?

I'd prefer to keep at coinbase and not pay fees or have it held up in limbo for God knows how long.

book to blockchain, and then to gdax...unless your book does LTC withdrawals.. then you could go book to Binance (wouldn't recommend risking your account shutting down) and then to gdax.

**PaperTrail07** · 12-27-17, 03:03 PM

Agree....I see NOTHING else that say coinbase confirms either.....I also read that binance said it will support it and I don't see it on that List....

I'd love to know how much $$ the heavy-hitters are making simply by toying w/ this #:

1) Sell at 100%, in a sharp sell-off.
2) Buy back at 97%.
3) Watch stock rise 8% from mini-trough. Rinse + repeat.

Just read this article. I am wondering if this is the list of exchanges supporting the first B2X fork. I haven't heard much about exchanges supporting the current one. Hope he's right though. When I am not sure about a fork my policy is to move the currency in question to bittrex. They have an excellent track record of supporting forks and acting in their users' best interest.
I know I already said this but the fact that it's going to run on the X-11 algorithm is a huge red flag for me. It means that most people (like myself) who are currently mining bitcoin wont have the option to switch over and mine B2X because their mining rigs aren't capable of doing it. I'm gonna venture a guess that for every one person who is capable of mining on X-11 there are 100 mining on Sha-256 (that's the algo bitcoin and all coins currently forked from it run on). Without miners support it can't/won't succeed.

Is it necessary to keep in an exchange versus in a wallet where you control the keys (in my case Electrum)?

A wallet where you control the keys is fine.

**ThaWoj** · 12-27-17, 05:39 PM

I moved my btc to hitbtc just for ease in getting the distro.

On a side note, do these other exchanges care if we send btc directly to a book other than gdax? I use poloniex, binance, and hitbtc...maybe poloniex would?

I've used Polo to send to sportsbooks and nothing has ever happened.

What about at Blockchain?

Log into your blockchaininfo/wallet account, go to the security section and backup your 12 word seed phrase. (write on paper)

With that you have full control to retrieve and use the wallet contents anywhere else and no one, including blockchain.info can stop you.

It also lets you import the private key into a different type of wallet that supports BCH or B2X etc and retrieve those awarded coins.

Lol, hey they tweeted today that they'll be at $20 within 3 years. I'm not holding my breath, but I sure hope so. I'm holding a little of it for the long run.

**Chipup** · 12-27-17, 10:31 PM

ok can someone explain to me this "Fork". Are you guys getting anything from it? Or is it just to change the currency?

**ans61201** · 12-27-17, 10:39 PM

Major news in South Korea causing a massive dump. Their price dropped 3k in minutes straight red arrow. Potential great buy opp tonight but may get ugly for a bit

South Korea Is Not Banning Bitcoin Trade, Financial Regulators Clarify

South Korean regulators say they will regulate bitcoin exchanges, but not put a blanket ban on cryptocurrency trade. Exchanges do however, need to meet six reasonable requirements in order to operate.

Excellent video. Explains the fork thoroughly. Still...who doesn't like an airdrop?

**juvunits** · 12-27-17, 11:46 PM

So apparently ripple rose to 1.43 today according to coinmarketgap. When was this? The highest I saw on binance was around 1.20.

**shocka1212** · 12-28-17, 12:02 AM
