[QUOTE="JayJuanGee, post: 458257, member: 5330"] Yes, my initial impression was that any ETH that a guy may have acquired prior to the hardfork from a couple of weeks ago would then be on both chains, ETH and ETC; however, if you purchased your ETH or ETC after the fork, then the respective purchases would only be on the chain respective to their fork. Nonetheless, there has been some issues with some exchanges such as Coinbase choosing to only recognize one of the chains (ETH specifically and not ETC). I think Coinbase may stand out a bit more in this respect as compared to some other exchanges because their CEO Brian Armstrong has been so publicly vocal about a few things 1) pushing for a BTC hardfork with XT/Classic to increase the blocksize limit to 2mb 2) including ETH into their purchasing and exchange support, before adding other alt coins, including changing the name of their exchange to GDAX 3) not supporting ETC. Anyhow, the publicity about folks seeming to take advantage of Coinbase's non-support for ETC by moving their coins to a location that supports both ETH and ETC (Poloniex specfically) was described as an exploit, but upon reflection I am not sure whether it was because quite a few exchanges (including BTC-e, Gemini, Uphold and likely some others) have not yet begun their support for ETC, even though they support ETH (yet maybe they have plans to begin supporting ETC in the future, I'm not sure). What was your timing on this transfer to Poloniex, before or after the hardfork? did you transfer from your jaxx wallet or somewhere else? So when your ETH arrived on Poloniex, you began to be able to see your coins for both? Yep.. At this point, it remains a bit unclear how this matter will play out, and/or how long it will take to sort out. In fact there is probably quite a bit more support in the ETC camp than the ETH core folks had calculated. How long have you used Jaxx? how many kinds of coins you have on there? have you used other wallets and can make some comparisons? Jaxx is considered a wallet that you can use for bitcoin and ethereum anywhere that you can use a chrome browser? Is it easy to set up and to use, or is there a bit of a learning curve with that wallet? [/QUOTE]
