Thank you Paul for the great breakdown. I was wondering if you (or anyone else) could just give me some quick advice. Im a very active day trader of crypto but my tech side is lacking. I still have my ETH on the genesis block and safely tucked away (off my computer) on the file I got from the ico.
I do have mist 0.7.2 synced to my computer and looking to load up these coins and claim ETC. I looked on gas tracker (with /addr/xxx my eth address xxx after the url) and I get 404 error to my genesis block coins but can see on other address I have it says I have Ether? I guess Im doing it right and that means my genesis block coins have no ETC?? Does anyone know why? Cheers
