I‘ve got a few newbie questions regarding the claiming process in combination with Electrum wallet.  

So I‘ll have to import my BTC address‘ private key into the BTX client. First thing I‘m asking myself is why doing it this way? Byteball does it by signing a message, for example. That seems to be less risky to me. What does importing the key actually do? Will it create the same address on the BTX chain? If it does then it should, from a technical POW, make no difference if I claim today or in a week, right?

I also learned that I should move my BTC to a new address whose private key has not been compromised or exposed to a third party; just as a precaution. However, as far as I understand it Electrum is a deterministic wallet. Each adress‘ private key can be restored by the seed. Could somebody also figure out or reverse engineer the seed or other keys if this somebody got to know the one private key used for the claiming process? In other words, should we create a whole new wallet with a new seed or is it enough to use an unused address within the existing Electrum wallet?

Thx guys.  

Does anyone have an idea what time the airdrop supply would run out?

Are they going to fork the coin again, I thought bitcore forked long ago

I guess so a 8 MB block, if I remember correct no 3!!

yes they premined the equivalent you would get on other hard fork, which mean they premined the equal amount of number of supply of bitcoin in existence, but instead of hard forking, they created a whole new chain and premined the coin, so you don't have a big blockchain to download, very clever
