BCC and Coinbase.
I just noticed this in my Email
........................................................................................................................................................................
Dear Coinbase customer,
We wanted to give our customers an update on the recent Bitcoin hard fork. You can read more about what a digital currency fork is here:
https://blog.coinbase.com/what-is-a-bitcoin-fork-cba07fe73ef1
Forks enable innovation and improvements to digital currency and we believe that we will see an increasing number of forks in the future. We expect this to be a vibrant and innovative community.
When a digital currency forks, it creates a new digital asset. Adding new digital assets to Coinbase must be approached with caution. Not every asset is immediately safe to add to Coinbase from a technical stability, security, or compliance point of view.
Our top priority is the safety of customer funds and we spend extensive time designing, building, testing and auditing our systems to ensure that the digital asset we support remains safe and secure. We may not always be first in adding an asset, but if we do, you can be sure that we’ve invested significant time and care into supporting it securely. We believe this is the best approach for us to maintain customer trust.
In the case of bitcoin cash, we made clear to our customers that we did not feel we could safely support it on the day it was launched. For customers who wanted immediate access to their bitcoin cash, we advised them to withdraw their bitcoin from the Coinbase platform. However, there are several points we want to make clear for our customers:
Both bitcoin and bitcoin cash remain safely stored on Coinbase.
Customers with balances of bitcoin at the time of the fork now have an equal quantity of bitcoin cash stored by Coinbase.
We operate by the general principle that our customers should benefit to the greatest extent possible from hard forks or other unexpected events.
Over the last several days, we’ve examined all of the relevant issues and have decided to work on adding support for bitcoin cash for Coinbase customers. We made this decision based on factors such as the security of the network, customer demand, trading volumes, and regulatory considerations.
We are planning to have support for bitcoin cash by January 1, 2018, assuming no additional risks emerge during that time.
Once supported, customers will be able to withdraw bitcoin cash. We'll make a determination at a later date about adding trading support. In the meantime, customer bitcoin cash will remain safely stored on Coinbase.
Thank you,
Coinbase Team
How BOUT that!. Now the whiners can quit bitching. PLUS...I get some money (not a lot but a little) add that to BitCoin I have other places...it's Christmas in August!
Good to see they are doing right by their customers, nobody can really complain now, they warned everyone to take Bitcoin off if they wanted access to Bitcoin Cash.
I expect that there will be complaints..
Great! Sounds fair.
i want to pick up that walking liberty half
i would find them in the boxes of half dollars from the banks there were alot in there
excellent
Mr @everittdmickey what is the purpose of voting by just giving 3% or 1%? Whether by doing so, only slightly reducing the percentage of voting power, why peoples not do 100% upvote?
OK, I'm going with you don't know why people vote at low percentages instead of @ 100% and are just curious as to why ?
Everittdmickey may be well on his way to whale status and if he were to give 100% up votes it would give a very large reward and drain his voting power significantly. This way he gets to vote for more people and spread the wealth so to speak without zapping his vote power as bad.
You will notice most of the Dolphins and Whales will all start voting with lower %. I think you get to adjust your percentage @ 1 million vests..?
Does that answer your question ?
Yes ..... it's very answer @chromiumone
thank you for your answers.
People do what they want to do.
For their own reasons.
No one should try to tell them other wise.
o yes
first of all, this comment has NOTHINg to do with this post about coinbase and bitcoin cash....whatr are you even talking about??? u realy sound like ur complaining!!!!! U sound like ur complaining because someone only gave you a 3 percent upvote and you xpected to get more?!?!?!?! dont you realize people will upvote you if they LIKE it maybe if its higher quality?!?!?!
wtf are u serious? dude u obviously dont have enough voting power to know the difference???? if u vote at 10 percent you USE IT UP dont u get that?!?!?!?!?!
man ur comment just REALy made me mad!!!!
i understand if u were just asking but it sounds like...i dunno
sorry i will say i dont knwo what u were asking but im gonna let everyone see how i reacted to the comment instead of edting it, hah
but yeah now that i realize u may just be asking, I will have to remind you that the voting power is a chopice, its spending money basically! money you an give to yourself or to others....so why would anyone give anyone anything??? i am sorry but it really souns to me like youre angry about somone giving you upvotes not at full popwer as if u were counting on a much highr amount of money from some whales upvote or something heh it seriously feels like thats whats going on here to me, but i could have just read it wrong
I think they quickly realised they were going to have loads of upset clients and thus decided to rather give the Bitcoin Cash to their clients instead of keeping it all to themselves :O
you assume that they would keep it for themselves.
Some exchanges are keeping it for themselves :(
reckon how long they will continue to have customers?
