BTW, all that drama with BTC spliting is calming down or? Was reading(not sure if it true) BTU mining power is shrinking. Do you have any reliable news about that?

I am actually looking for the same news, so far unsuccessful.
I do see a lot of people posting that the hard fork, if any would occur at all, got postponed for now..
I would really like to know as yesterday I actually had an "emergency meeting" with all of the developers to prepare for a possible hard fork and possibly sell off most of our coins..

I am not in favor of BTU at all btw..
Especially the supporters like Roger Ver, they're just so full of lies..

"POSTPONED TO MAY"

A small group of bitcoin industry leaders, developers and miners are planning to discuss the digital currency's development roadmap at an invite-only meeting in May.

ADVERTISEMENT



A notice of the gathering, as well as a list of potential guests, was posted to a private mailing list today, with participants reportedly including major players from the ongoing, and recently active, scaling debate.
Bitcoin.com owner Roger Ver, Bitfury CEO Valery Vavilov, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Blockchain CEO Peter Smith are among those listed as possible attendees.
Other participants suggested to be attending include Bloq CEO Jeff Garzik, an undecided representative from BitGo and Digital Currency Group CEO Barry Silbert.
"It is certainly my hope that each of you see somebody below that you know and trust to advocate for – and hopefully agree on – a path forward that is best for our industry," Silbert wrote in the mailing list message.
DCG confirmed it is helping to organize the meeting, which would be held in New York in May.
BitPay CEO Stephen Pair and Bitmain co-founder Jihan Wu confirmed they were participating in statements to CoinDesk.
Though some declined to comment, others indicated that they are keen to use the venue as a way to increase their understanding of ongoing disagreements.
"I am hoping to better understand what those that want a hard fork are hoping to achieve. We think a hard fork is unnecessary and that their goals could very likely be achieved without one. But I would like to hear their reasoning," Pair said.
Yet, at press time, it is unclear whether the meeting has broader buy-in, with Back reporting he would not attend, despite the invitation.
He told CoinDesk that he believes miners are "profiting from high fees" on the network, and that they stand to gain by delaying SegWit, Bitcoin Core's proposed scaling option. Blockstream is one of the largest employers of bitcoin developers.
"At root this is an economic question, not a technical discussion," Back said.
Other industry participants are reportedly aware of the meeting, with former BitInstant CEO Charlie Shrem telling CoinDesk that he is involved in helping to promote the planned event as a way to resolve the debate.
"I messaged Roger [Ver] this morning, saying 'I implore you to go in person because no one speaks for Roger except Roger'," he said, adding:
[quote]"I will do everything I can to make sure the right people get into that room together, for the sake of bitcoin."[/quote]
Ver has been among the more vocal and controversial critics of the Bitcoin Core roadmap, going so far as to back alternative development teams and alternative softwares in order to fix perceived problems in its operation.
Another attempt
Rumors of a larger meeting follow weeks of increasing discussion that the bitcoin network could possibly undergo a hard fork, a process by which its blockchain could be at risk of splitting into two separate networks (with two separate tokens).
Further, it is the latest in what have been several past attempts to settle the so-called 'scaling debate' via in-person events, though none, to date, have been successful.
In recent weeks, developers and miners have shown a willingness to back alternate proposals, a development that has prompted wider discussion.
According to the message, a list of the participants includes:

  • Bitcoin.com – Roger Ver or Jake Smith
  • Bitfury – Val Vavilov
  • BitGo – Mike Belshe or Ben Davenport
  • Bitmain – Jihan Wu
  • BitPay – Stephen Pair
  • Blockchain – Peter Smith
  • Blockstream – Adam Back
  • Bloq – Jeff Garzik
  • Coinbase – Brian Armstrong
  • DCG – Barry Silbert
  • Gavin Andresen – Jeff Garzik will represent Gavin

I do not know why, but I really dislike option of hardfork, even if i am on of those who profit a lot from only talking about it.

I more then double profit from mining in last weeks. In case if fork actually happen I believe alts will fly even more. So let they do it, but i do not like it. Bitcoin is the "king" and should not be touched. Regular users will be confused and will lose most from that fork. All the people who are making cents from faucets all the businesses who are using BTC will suffer, specially those who do not aware what is actually going on.

All those attempts to crash BTC are made from greedy rich people. If that is only attempt to drop BTC price or actually make a new coin is not really a matter. In every case rich people who are making that will make profits and that is completely against what BTC should be or was meant to be..

I split my asset to BTC, fiat and alts so in ether case I may not lose or profit a lot..

90% of the people using bitcoin today has nowhere near the knowledge to understand what a fork is, what kind of effect it will have on them and how they deal with it.
I agree, Bitcoin is the king of crypto..

It does need changes though, but I don't think btu is in any way ready to become our new, main source of bitcoin transactions.

News from BITFINEX

Bitfinex introduced trading on Chain Split Tokens (CST). The first such product of its kind, CSTs will allow Bitfinex customers to speculate on future fork events of the Bitcoin blockchain, specifically, the potential fork between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Unlimited. They have designated these CSTs as BCC (Bitcoin Core) and BCU (Bitcoin Unlimited).
CSTs will trade as BTC and USD pairs, initially without margin and they will reevaluate that decision if there is sufficient liquidity.
Users will be able to create CSTs by “splitting” a bitcoin through the Token Manager (located in the Order Type drop down menu of the sidebar order ticket). Once split, the BTC will be removed from their account for each BCC and BCU added. Through the same Token Manager, users will be able to reverse this process at anytime, trading in equal numbers of BCC and BCU to extract BTC.
If no fork occurs by December 31, 2017, then BCU will expire worthless and BTC will be given in exchange for each BCC holder. If, however, there is a fork, specifically Bitcoin Unlimited, then, as soon as they list Bitcoin Unlimited, they will exchange BCU tokens for Bitcoin Unlimited tokens as well as retiring BCC tokens in favor of Bitcoin Core tokens. More detailed information can be found in the Chains Split Token Terms and Conditions.
They are planning a few additional enhancements including a realtime display of total CSTs as well as segregated cold storage for the bitcoins that have been split, which we will periodically settle to and from their hot wallet.

A Bitcoin Beginner’s Guide to Surviving a Coin-Split

The good news is that each bitcoin would effectively be copied onto the Bitcoin Unlimited chain. If you hold bitcoin right now, you will hold both BTC and BTU after a split.

The bad news is that a coin-split can be messy and risky. This is mainly because, at first, all BTCs and all BTUs will be stuck together. You will need to separate them somehow; otherwise you can lose your BTC or your BTU.

Is there any place I can use to exchange my BTC to money with no risks at this time? I say that because maybe exchangers could have a problem when the split occurs, with so many people withdrawing their money to bank accounts or something like that.
