RE: The forking attitude of fears and wishes
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I'm just hoping Bittrex will bring the wallets back online. I have no idea if it because of the HF or not, but the Hive wallets have been down for quite a while. I bought some and I really want to stake it here.
I realize this has little to do with your question, but it matters to me.

Yes, most exchanges always turn off wallet deposits/withdrawals 2-3 days before intended fork date. Then wait a day or two after fork to see if the chain is stable and then update their own node (larger exchanges tend to run an own node for each chain). If the fork requires an additional replay, it will further delay when they re-activate withdrawals/deposits.
That's very much industry standard. So if you buy or need an upcoming transaction and you know there's a HF coming... do it while the exchange wallets are still open.
And then I read you replied :D
It is because of the HF, which was originally scheduled for last week, so the exchanges closed them. Hopefully will open soon after.
