Daily reminder that if you keep your BTC on Bitfinex, you're only getting roughly 1/3rd of the BCC over your BTC

>we will be resolving this discrepancy in the form of a socialized distribution coefficient. For example, currently, there are more longs than shorts on the platform, causing a distribution coefficient of ~1.091 (Meaning that for each qualifying BTC a user will receive 1.091 BCH). The actual coefficient will be calculated at the moment of the distribution. Please note that if there are more shorts than longs at the fork event, this coefficient will be less than one. This coefficient can be roughly computed from publicly available information from our API (longs & shorts) and the Blockchain (cold storage).
At the time they made that post they had more long positions than short ones, but since then BTC received the largest EVER surge in short positions, currently there is nearly 3x more short than long positions, volume-wise
You can still generate a private key here
https://www.bitaddress.org
and withdraw coins to the corresponding address.
Don't forget though, that they have a 12 hrs maximum withdrawal time limit on BTC, and as more and more people are going to request withdrawals, they'll likely reach those limits.

There's 16 hours and 41 minutes left until the BCC launch. If you don't start your withdrawal within 5 hours, you'll miss out on a LOT of BCC
alternatively, you can download the electrum wallet and generate an address with that

There's a fucking withdrawal hold on my account because I changed password
I'm fucked....my BTC is stuck on this scam platform

maybe you could try contacting support. i'd try in your place. just tell them that you want to get 1:1 BCC for your BTC and therefore would like to make a withdrawal before the split despite your password change
if they don't answer, you can at least bitch about them on reddit, i don't think they'll want that

So what is going to happen to ETH in the next few hours?
short positions still going up, it'll probably go below 1/3rd
Kraken is handing out BCH 1:1, even for open BTC/USD margin positions.
