You don't need to exchange anything, there is a snapshot taken on the day of the fork. There is really no work to be done. It's just like the stellar and byteball airdrops, all you need to do is to import a private key with coins in it on the snapshot time.

Stellar and Byteball airdrops were different. They just neeed a signed message from your Bitcoin wallet. But BCC is going to be different. It requires the private key of your Bitcoin wallet to be imported in to a BCC-compatible wallet.

So here is the best way to claim BCC: Move your coins from your primary Blockchain.info wallet to another wallet a few days after August 1. Once this is done, import your private key from your primary wallet to any of the BCC-compatible wallets. In this way, you will get the BCC and there will be no risk for your Bitcoins if something turns out bad.

HI NETNOX

I have some Bitcoin in an offline Multibit Classic Wallet, After the fork if I import its private key into one of the compatible Bitcoin Cash Wallets will I receive Bitcoin Cash ?  Reason Why I am asking is if these BCCoins are going to be worth something I may as well avail of them or cash them in for bitcoin Huh


If you have the private key you will always be able to retrieve the bitcoin cash, at the end of the day the private keys for bitcoin and bitcoin cash are identical.
