The Bitcoin Improvement Proposal or BIP 148 is a User Activated Soft Fork (UASF) that requires that miners signal for Segregated Witness (SegWit). I just started purchasing coins from BITTREX and don't find any information regarding BITTREX supporting BIP 148.
I read many sites, including this one that provided great information about BIP 148:
I understand that this is going to take place on the 1st of August 2017. I also understand tha if miners activate SegWit prior to the 1 of August 2017 then BIP 148 will not affect them and all users of Bitcoin will remain on the same chain.
I found this list of companies that support BIP 148 http://www.uasf.co/
However, I still do not find any date about BITTREX. Can anyone tell me if BITTREX and COINBASE will be supporting BIP 148?
According to this website https://m.btckan.com/news/topic/32898 "So far, no exchanges have given any kind of guarantee". Bitcoin Core is said to protect you since you conrtrol your own private keys and transactions. Up Vote this comment if this helps your question regarding how to stay safe during the BIP148 on August 1st
I am very new to this area and I would like to know the same!!! I have a bunch on coins on bittrex.
