Don't lose your life savings.
The developers behind this minority chain (including Luke Dashjr and Chris Guida) have stated directly that they are deliberately avoiding centralized, KYC-compliant exchanges. Their stated goal is to use the coin exclusively for peer-to-peer trade, not exchange trading.
No major crypto exchanges (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken), block explorers, or institutional custodians have expressed support for listing or trading this chain.
Minority hard forks switching algorithms (from SHA-256 to BLAKE2b) lack the vast computational security of the main Bitcoin network, making them vulnerable to network instability and unfit for exchange custody.
Do nothing with your REAL Bitcoin. Don't lose it to a phisher based on a bias from someone you never met.
Leaving your actual Bitcoin untouched in your self-custody wallet (or hardware wallet) is completely safe. The new fork does not alter, move, or diminish your real BTC on the main chain.
The primary way people lose money during minority forks is by importing their main seed phrase or private keys into unverified, malicious "claiming tools" or third-party fork wallets.
There is no deadline to claim forked coins. If the project ever develops a safe, widely vetted tool months or years down the line, any forked balance associated with your historical address will still be there.
Ignore the "Act Now" urgency. Its not worth it. Especially if you can't use to live your normal life.
The safest decision for your life savings is to ignore the fork and keep your primary Bitcoin keys offline and secure.
