All I've heard for the last 3 months is don't transact BTC for several days after Aug. 1st. I planned to follow that, but the wallet I transferred the major portion of my BTC to so that I could get BCH with no problems, started acting weird. The balance was there, it wasn't there. Anyway, I figured I'd send half the BTC to my original wallet and take my chances. The time recorded in the transfer was sent 9:48 pst and received 9:48 pst. I'm sure that has to do with the low number of people sending BTC, but Wow that's the way it's supposed to be.
