Bitcoin Cash support
As Koinim, our principle is to try to ensure that our users benefit from the fork that will occur in the blockchain to the maximum extent, provided that the security of your investments is essential.. After dealing with the Bitcoin Cash fork that took place on August 1 in line with this principle and undergoing an intensive technical evaluation process, we developed an infrastructure where you can safely withdraw your Bitcoin Cash balance, and we put this function into use before many global exchanges.
Bitcoin Gold.
491407 of the Bitcoin blockchain (presumably formed on 25.10.2017), known as “Bitcoin Gold”. We have been closely following this new type of cryptocurrency, which has been announced to be forked based on the block, from the day it came to the agenda, in line with this principle.. In the detailed technical and security analyzes carried out by us, it has been determined that the following problems regarding the aforementioned project still persist despite a short time from the announced date:
A yet stable software, infrastructure and testnet belonging to Bitcoin Gold.
Koinim added that Bitcoin Gold has no known developer group.
Contrary to what is claimed on the project’s website, Bitcoin Gold does not yet have “duplicate transaction protection”. Providing Bitcoin Gold support without duplicate transaction protection poses a security risk for the current Bitcoin balance.
There are conflicting statements between the current version of the project’s website and the previous versions, which creates serious uncertainty.
