Would you get free ethereum after the ethereum fork happens ? - Fuktard - Sep 8, 2017
So I read somewhere that Ethereum hark fork will happen this month and if you keep ethereum in desktop wallet you would get fee Ethereum as Ethereum would split into two and you would get two different versions of ethereum.
Is is true if yes then would it work in myetherwallet too ?

i dont think it is that type of fork my friend its just a change to the network but i could be wrong

No, as miners will move to the new fork and ditch the old one...there is no debate and no one is taking the old ethereums "side" and no dev team will be maintaining the old chain. It will simply be ditched as no one will be mining on it and the new one will be the new main chain

I am not particularly educated on the subject, but i do think you will get 2 different tokens after the split. Even if one will be useless as the person above me said.
So to answer the OP, yes, you will probably have 2 tokens, same way as you did after BTC split. But the difference will be, that one will be useless.

I think there is not split, its only a small update but not 100% sure.

ETH is on big update without anything releated with hard fork that would get you free ethereumCloneCoin3000
