BitAlien on Twitter is promoting the Bitcoin Cash.
Retweet and respond with your BCC address on twitter to get $1!
Twitter requirements: 1 month old account minimum

Copy paste if anyone wants the backstory:

Hi, my name is BitAlien, and I'd like to teach you a little bit about Bitcoin Cash.

You've probably heard of Bitcoin before. Bitcoin was the world's first Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. With Bitcoin, you can send any amount of money to anyone in the world without anyone's permission. Governments cannot censor Bitcoin transactions. No company "owns" the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin is decentralized and permissionless.
Bitcoin transaction fees used to cost less than a cent. Compared to the legacy banking system where transactions can cost hundreds of dollars, this was a huge improvement. As you can see, Bitcoin is a revolutionary technology.
Unfortunately, Bitcoin's development was subverted by Blockstream, a company which employs many "Bitcoin Core" developers to create changes to the Bitcoin software which benefits them. These Core developers have openly admitted that high fees are a good thing, and want to turn Bitcoin into a settlement layer, moving the majority of transactions onto lightning networks. (The technology that Blockstream just happens to specialize in)
Bitcoin Cash is a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain that was created on August 1st 2017. Bitcoin Cash aims to solve Bitcoin's scaling problems, follow Satoshi's original vision, and allow users to once again create transactions with low fees.
Reliable, frictionless money like Bitcoin Cash will change the world's economy for the better.

      Not really. It's same as giving your bank account details. People can only deposit into it.
      Different protocols for withdrawal.

      If you're really concerned, make a temporary wallet, then transfer out once you receive your $1. (seems like a lot of effort though)

      Hey! Be a man! $1 dollar is lot of money…

      "50 cents is alot of money! YOu save 50 cents at a store, and then maybe you go somewhere else and save another 50 cents. Then you have 1 dollar. Then you take your dollar. You go to the dollar store, and you buy something else

      Be a man! Do the right thing!",

  • abb on 25/08/2017 - 14:46

    As a BTC holder, I have some bitcoin cash already - how do I exchange it for AUD, or BTC?

    (My BTC are in a Mycelium wallet, if that's relevant)

    • cheaty on 25/08/2017 - 14:48

      That's a tricky one. My advice would be to swap the BCC for BTC first and then your life will be easier.

      Be careful though, save your BTC to a new wallet BEFORE creating/using BCC wallets. Guides and tons of info - online.

    • TrailerTrash on 25/08/2017 - 14:49

      Move it into an exchange, sell to AUD and then withdraw.
      IndependentReserve.com or BTCMarkets.net are good Aussie ones. Check if they cash out BCH beforehand.

        The first problem is I don't know how to move them…

        • fleetfeather on 26/08/2017 - 23:24

          Create an account on a exchange. All good exchanges will have very clear instructions on how to move your BTC from a wallet to your exchange account

        • abb on 28/08/2017 - 08:47

          @fleetfeather: I'm talking about Bitcoin Cash, not Bitcoin.

      • Cozzie on 27/08/2017 - 03:36

        No. It does not work that way because his BTC was not on the exchange prior to fork.

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/322526

      Once you've got it, you can dump it at bittrex, etc.

      Then if you want AUD, use livingroomofsatoshi.com

      • abb on 25/08/2017 - 15:36

        Thanks, this is the most detailed advice I've seen so far. Will try it out over the weekend!

    • Rusty4 on 25/08/2017 - 15:56

      Transfer your BTC to BTCMarkets.net then sell for AUD. I use BTCMarkets for all my crypto trading, it's not the cheapest, but it's Australian, and very well known and regarded. All you have to do is create a free account and transfer to your BTC deposit address.

      Sign up for a free account on BTCMarkets.net then once you're in and verified, click deposit at the top of the page, then click deposit BTC. Copy your address and then go to your wallet and transfer to that address. You can then trade your BTC for AUD and withdraw to your bank account.

      • toblerone21 on 25/08/2017 - 16:09

        Does that require a Aussie passport ?

        • Rusty4 on 25/08/2017 - 16:18
          +2

          It requires Australian ID verification yes. If you're using something that doesn't, you should tread carefully!

      • lachhelix on 25/08/2017 - 16:37

        Slightly off topic, but how would you deposit into BTCMarkets without Poli (not compatible with ING)? I don't get anything shown for direct deposit

        • Rusty4 on 25/08/2017 - 16:41
          +1

          You can use a direct bank transfer which doesn't attract a fee, unlike Poli.

          http://imgur.com/a/0qtGJ

          Edit: it's possible that this only shows up after a certain period of your account being open, or after verification.

          @Rusty4:
          Thankyou, yes I raised a ticket. I had to verify a social media profile and they activated direct deposit for me!
          Thanks again

        • Meconium on 26/08/2017 - 01:24

          It is compatible with ING, I've done it many times. Not instant though, so kind of defeats the purpose of POLi but it does work.

        • lachhelix on 26/08/2017 - 02:43

          @Meconium: Oh really? Strange
          I don't see an option for ING in the Poli prompt at all!

      So far mycelium does not support BCH. This is the procedure I found by searching. Make a new mycelium wallet. Transfer the BTC to it. The BCH will remain in the old address. Export private key from old wallet. Import into electroncash wallet. Voila!

      (No warranty)

      • abb on 25/08/2017 - 16:59

        Thanks, I'll try to look into that a bit more. A bit of an annoying hassle to create a new wallet though hey.

    Still most people think BCC has no future. I'm really curious to see what will happen.

    Before providing your BCC wallet address make sure it is NOT on one of the exchanges that do not allow incoming BCC transfers.

        For Android I use:
        Coinomi - BCC

        • thefunkygibbon on 25/08/2017 - 15:21
          +2

          I know this is only for ~$1 but if you do start buying crypto currencies it is recommended you don't store then long term on an exchange like CoinJar. Unless you own the private key to the bitocoin/cryptocurrency you are trusting that the company won't go under or get hacked.

        • 0xFFFF on 25/08/2017 - 15:23

          @thefunkygibbon: That's a very good point!
          CoinJar is my preferred exchange not my primary wallet.

      Don't worry. Your reaction indicates logical reasoning.

      Even if you tried, you will have a very difficult time discussing technical or economic issues with a majority of crypto-enthusiasts because the loudest behave like followers of a religion. And most religious followers have no understanding of what the technocratic leadership is doing or will decide in the future.

      The value in blockchain technology is irrelevant to most users these days. Even as the transaction fees for Bitcoin climb to extraordinary figures you'll find people desperate to spin it into something positive. It's all about making money.
