But Bitfinex states that
The token distribution methodology will be:
All BTC wallet balances will receive BCH
Margin longs in BTC/USD and margin shorts in XXX/BTC will not receive BCH
Margin shorts in BTC/USD and margin longs in XXX/BTC will not pay BCH
BTC Lenders will receive BCH
I see an opportunity for margin short since I do not have to pay for BCH at all. And I already got same amount of BTC and BCH in my wallet. It seems like BCH is free. I still do not see any problem.
Why not ask this directly from the exchange?
They wouldn't answer on time I guess. My last support ticket of Bitstamp takes 1 month to be replied. Anyway we will see the outcome. As long as they keep their policy it is a clear profit.
The question is who pays this bill?
I am confused too, it seems so easy.
A much more detailed review.

Thanks. I did read it. Are you still playing this?
Actually I figured it out kind of early but I did not have much money to try just bought 0,7 BTC and margin short it. We will see the outcome. You would have believed me at first. :))
Anything to report on the outcome yet?
