Guys it's complicated re:bitcoin.
I was reading about this for hours last night.
You're going to have to lock up your private keys
on your own computer or phone.. then after the breakup
which may take days or longer to determine past Aug 1,
manually try to convert them into both BTC variants.
Nobody knows which will be worth more.
Bitmain, Craig Wright and other large mining fronts are
planning on massing 25%+ of the market - they refuse to
participate in SegWit at all. Wright says Segwit makes bitcoin
very vulnerable to attacks. The war might only begin on Aug 1.

Fake news snowball... kind of sick of seeing all the fud and hardly one link to anything to back any of it up... They say 84% signaled segwit when tested THIS is fact, can provide a link. Now as for you HAVE to do this or that to get both keys for both chains or if there will be a fork at all is purely rumor... until there is EVIDENCE otherwise.. i highly doubt upstanding exchanges like coinbase will reject your ownership to a chain split if there ever was one ... and signaling will begin the 29th by the first of Aug the network will be upgraded.

What does 95% of this have to do with what we are discussing... we aren't talking chinas take on bitcoin or if a bubble bursted, we are talking about chain splits (and people not getting keys to both chains) or segwit not getting activated...

and craig wright must be part of that 15% trying to make a little noise, the majority want segwit ... pretty simple stuff, guess people stir all this confusion because they want panic " blood in the streets " ... scoop up all the cheap bits..

Only holding zcash and feeling like a fool doing so but time will tell.

**firekillex** · 07-16-17, 12:17 PM

tough watching all these coins down
lets hope it shoots back up after AUG 1st

HOLD AND PRAY MEN

**Snowball** · 07-16-17, 12:30 PM

even after the split, that's just SegWit.. that's when it begins..
there is SegWit2x in November or who knows when.

it's all rather complicated and untested.
here's an article from 37 minutes ago:

On the small blocks end, there is Bitcoin Core and UASF which aim to activate segwit, but their relationship to segwit2x is not clear, with some suggestions they may be incompatible and might chain-split, while others suggest they would be in consensus.

**triplecrown333** · 07-17-17, 06:16 AM

good luck to all the bagholders including myself, believe in the technology , i will not get rattled with these shakeouts...might get a years worth of cup of noodles on my way home today

Over $7 Million Stolen After CoinDash Initial Coin Offering Hacked

It was bound to happen: after hundreds of millions of capital was raised through "Initial Coin Offerings", with the recently concluded Tezos coin offering raising a record $232 million in 2 weeks, it was inevitable that (at least) one would get hacked. On Monday morning, that's precisely what happened to CoinDash, a blockchain startup focusing on "cryptocurrency social trading and portfolio management platforms", which sent out an urgent warning to investors advising of a severe cyber security breach of its crowdfunding page.
Apparently the hack involved switching over the legitimate address to a fake one, to which "investors" were sending their funds. The CoinDash warning reads:

This is an emergency message delivered to you in order to stop you from sending your money to an unauthorized ETH address. It seems like our Token Sale page was tampered and the sending address was changed. Please stop from sending your funds to any of the addresses until we say otherwise. We are currently examining the situation and will shortly send further instructions.

The site also issued a follow up announcement:

CoinDashers, soon we will get the site back and release our official announcement about what just happened. Everyone who participate, both with the right & fraud address will get his CDT. Pleases be patient as we are trying to make things clear

Less ambitious than the Tezos offering, the CoinDash Token Sale only started a bit earlier today (July 17th, 2017), and was supposed to last for 28 days or until the funds raised reach a $12 million hard cap.
This is what the ICO's bonus structure was supposed to look like:

First day bonus – 30%
First week bonus – 20%
Second week bonus – 10%
Rest of the Token Sale period bonus – 0%

However, it was not meant to be, and moments ago the startup tweeted that "The Token Sale is done, do not send any ETH to any address. Official statement regarding the hack will be released soon."
Some background on this particular ICO and statup, courtesy of Finance Magnates, which recently conducted an interview with CEO Alom Muroch:

The Coindash platform will enable cryptocurrency investors to manage and analyze their portfolios, share insights about the market and display achievements, as well as copy-trade and receive trading signals.

Coindash’s current partners include CryptoCompare, Smith & Crown and RSK Labs, WINGS, ethere.camp, Antshares and HyperChain Capital. Back in May 2017 Coinsilium Group Limited (NEX:COIN), the London-based blockchain venture investment fund, confirmed that it has completed its investment of $75,000 in Coindash.

The scammer’s address has been quickly tracked down:
https://etherscan.io/address/0x6a164122d5cf7c840d26e829b46dcc4ed6c0ae 48

While the monetary damages have yet to be confimed, according to Etherscan it appears that over $7 million was already "stolen" in 2130 transactions, as a result of the address redirection hack.
