BitcoinCash is approaching its bi-yearly scheduled hard fork date, set for the 15th of November, and by all signs, the changes to be implemented in this round are contested. With one part of the community around the BitcoinCashABC client moving one way, and another part of the community around the BitcoinCashNode client moving a different way, the possibility of a chain-split looms big. In this plan, we’d like to explain what that means for CryptoGames users, how we plan to handle the event, and how you can prepare for it to ensure a smooth process.
While we currently run a BitcoinCashABC node, we do plan to respect the consensus of the BCH community and we will implement whichever chain has the clear majority support after the fork. By all indications right now, that is most likely to be BitcoinCashNode (BCHN), as it currently holds the majority of the miners support, with 800 of the last 1000 blocks signaling support for BCHN, as opposed to just 4 blocks supporting BCHA. Further, the BCHN chain also holds a sizably bigger number of signaling nodes, 122 vs 86, as well as the support of the market, with chain-split futures for BCHN trading significantly higher than chain-split futures for BitcoinCashABC (BCHA), BCHN at $255 compared to BCHA at $25. All those numbers are of course subject to change and just reflect the situation at the time of this announcement. If you want to track the process now, or during the activation of the hard fork, coin.dance provides a number of useful statistics to keep track of the BCH network, as well as other Bitcoin implementations.
Whichever chain holds the clear majority support after the fork will be implemented by CryptoGames and fully available on the site in the same way BCH was before. We will continue to call the chain BitcoinCash (BCH), but make it clear for users whether it’s BCHN or BCHA. Users that held BCH in their CryptoGames account prior to the fork will be credited with their balance for the new majority chain that is implemented on the site. However, we do not plan to credit balances for the minority chain, or make those balances available to users in any other way. If you want to access your BCH on both BCHN and BCHA, please make sure to withdraw your coins prior to the fork and handle the chain split on your now.
So to summarize: BCH is splitting into BCHN and BCHA, the bigger one of which will be continued to be supported on CryptoGames and balances are carried over onto that chain.
As with all splits, fork, and developing situations, we will do our best to keep users updated about any changes, as soon as they do come to light. Keep an eye on the announcements on the site, as well as further announcements on either the blog or via the email newsletter. And if you have any further questions, regarding either the split in general, the way CryptoGames is preparing to handle it, or maybe something completely different, we are happy to answer all of them to the best of our knowledge, either via the support system, via the sites chatroom, our discord, or the bitcointalk thread. We hope this information fully prepares you for the events ahead and nobody experiences any issues with the upcoming hard fork.
Due to the upcoming blockchain swap on Stratis, a switch from STRAT to a new asset called STRAX, we here at CryptoGames sadly have made the decision to remove Stratis from our website. This delisting will happen in two phases, the first of which already has been implemented.
At the time of this announcement, no more deposits for STRAT are being accepted. We have also not started a new STRAT wagering contests for this month and faucets for STRAT have been disabled as well. You however still can play with STRAT, exchange it to other coins using the on-site exchange option, or withdraw it right away.
The second phase will start after November 7th. After 23:59 UTC it will no longer be possible to place any bets with STRAT. We will also disable withrawals and exchanges for STRAT at this point, so please make sure to withdraw or exchange any remaining balance prior to this date. Make sure the place you withdraw to is still accepting STRAT deposits, or withdraw to a wallet of your own control and make sure you do not forget to swap your STRAT to STRAX on your own prior to the deadline for this swap.
If you fail to withdraw your STRAT before the second phaseon November 7th, your balance will be converted to Bitcoin (BTC) and deposited into your CryptoGames account. We will not swap your STRAT to STRAX on your behalf.Further, we currently do not plan to list STRAX on our website once the swap phase on Stratis has been completed. We might decide to list STRAX at a later point, but there are no plans to doing so right away.
Users that have any questions about the delisting or need further information about the Stratis swap are encouraged to ask their questions either in our chat room, or on the bitcointalk discussion thread, or by contacting the support staff. We will happily answer all question regarding this and other topics to the best of our knowledge.
