bitfinex also credited BCH

But question is still same when the trading pair BCH/USD or BCH/BTC is going to come on bitfinex

In the most recent announcement from Bitfinex, they are saying that they are "monitoring the fork" and they may create trading pairs SOON-ish tm  maybe 24 hours or more....

They also took a 15% haircut from folks.  I only got 85% of my equivalent BCH.. more socializing.. those fucks!!!!

same here go 85% of btc
The 15% "haircut" is to account for the fact that traders had net short BTC positions across their platform, and did not force shorts to repay BCH, and give longs BCH (which was likely guided by the fact that they did not want to commit to listing BCH for trading). This policy was announced days in advance, which allowed customers to withdraw BTC from the platform if desired. The situation also created opportunity for BTC holders to lend out BTC at ridiculously high interest rates.
