Kraken supports BCC!

I would way until after August 1st to let things calm down.

I agree, but maybe first see if we can get Kraken to confirm they will actually support that ;)

Kraken is an exchange place and not a wallet so I dont think you can import any keys to it. But this is good news as theres no need for traders to do anything.

I wondered about this - so when BCC is talking about a ‘Bitcoin Cash Client’ this can only be a wallet? What about the wallet associated with an exchange?

It seems like a no-brainer to me: a chance to double your holdings simply by placing them on Kraken...

Kraken, from what they say, it will support bitcoin cash (BCH) and will enable trading in current pairs BCH/XBT, BCH/USD, BCH/EUR.

From what i read there, you must hold at that time the bitcoin (BTC... at their exchange XBT) and quote:

Bitcoin funding will be halted at 11 am UTC on August 1 – do not deposit during the fork

Kraken will halt XBT funding at 11 am UTC and safely secure funds during the fork. Funding will be re-enabled after the outcome of the fork is clear and the network is safe.

The fork it should be at 12.20 pm UTC (search for your local time on google).

So, you should move your assets there before. And take in considerations transfer time with confirmations. I had a time of almost 3h today with 3 confirmations (i saw on blockchain).

Also, see on their website more details then confront with exchanges and others: https://www.bitcoincash.org/

From my knowledge personal wallet associated with an exchange is actually holding there... not in your wallet. But not sure about that, you better find out in what conditions you are with that wallet to be sure.

Initialy, i heard it could work only on personal wallets, but now i see bittrex and kraken said they will double it for everyone who has some bitcoin amount there.
Coinbase, don't. So search for places you store your bitcoin to see details.

Although, who knows what joke it is with that thing... doubling money... huh :-). Isn't it sound to good to be true? hehe

Haha I agree! Although I do like the idea of avoiding the transaction costs if I can...

Thanks for your reply @ilvstranger! I agree that is the best approach however I wouldn't mind keeping my btc on exodus to avoid the transaction fees... so I'm still figuring out if this is possible but it seems so. Very good point re the time it takes to transfer your btc (kind of why we are in this position lol).

It often is! But it does look like this is the case. The thing we don't know is what the value of the BCH will be :). Could be sold down straight away...having said that the value of the futures is $375 US now.

Kraken handled the Ethereum fork for me pretty seamlessly. I think I can trust them with this one as well. (I hope). I had my XBT on Exodus, but decided to move them over to Kraken today, so I can sell my BCH quickly, if I want to.

That's assuming you can't get them quickly using your private key from exodus? Do you by any chance know how that works? I haven't been able to find it yet. Being able to quickly offload bth is a good point!

What i understand right now is that:

As on coimarketcap shows, it is futures (i hope i understand well that termen = future stocks or stocks for trading soon... i'm not an "english man in new york" :-))))) )

Bittrex is one of the most correct on answering to that problem (from what i searched till now):

https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000808991-Statement-on-Bitcoin-Cash-BCC-

They said, that who have in their wallet BTC will have also BCH (BCC).
The BTC wallet will be closed for deposit/withdrawal but trades can be made.
Quote:

The wallet will remain closed until the majority hash power chain is clearly established. Trading will remain active during this time. In the event of a chain split, Bittrex will take all reasonable steps to ensure that customer funds can be preserved on both chains.

And regarding trading BCH or BCC, whatevar name will remain for bitcoin cash, here is their statement:

Bittrex will monitor the BCC network stability and developments and assess the viability of opening trading of BCC assets. There is no guarantee that any markets will open to allow BCC assets to be tradable on Bittrex exchange. In the case of no BCC market opening you will be able to withdraw BCC.

So, if it works, exchanges will let people trade, because they will make money from that. And is normal, because that is the business.

From what i see they are the most transparent on letting users know what will happen.

But, as i don't trust untill i see... we wil see what happens.

I think i will make a post from that to have information saved here too in case the information is changed there.

Regarding the value, depending on what happens after august 1st, when i think lot of people will dump BCC (BCH) and few others will buy it (the ones who believes in it) the price could be higher or lower, nobody can now in this uncertain times.

Here it is the problem. The way will happen in next few days will conclude first impressions regarding bitcoin cash power. It really depends on people reactions.

It is possible to be the same price as BTC soon, but is possible BTC will drop hard... who knows, we'll see it soon.

Np man. Thats why we, boobs (in BF4 i like to say boobs to noobs, to not offend the kids), must talk to eachother anything that comes in our mind to not loose.
That tiny things can save us money and learn well what to do.

Anyway, i still don't understand what time to take in consideration in a transfer and how we can quantify it when we want to transfer or deposit.
I found that here:

https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

can see unconfirmed BTC transactions.
Few months ago, there were in number of over 30 - 40.000. So many in queue, where i believe, to have a quicker transaction you must give more money (fee) to the miners. That only if your exchange let you do that...
Now they are in small numbers. I see around 1500 transactions pending. But they are moving quick...

Can we do a math having in mind that figures and the time of confirmation for a transaction?
At my first BTC deposit (2 days ago) i saw there were needed 3 confirmations, not 7 as i heard it should.

Maybe will understand that in the near future.

Hi again,

I made a full post about Bitcoin Cash and how to buy/sell/trade, including 6 main exchanges.
