"then your BCH is likely (but not guaranteed) to remain associated with the current private keys due to BCH's pseudo-replay-protection;"
can you elaborate on this....under what conditions could your BCH not be still associated?
Surely that would send the value to near zero....?
same question ..
i am not interested to claim BCH at the moment because i don't wish to take risks for claiming pennies.
pennies? if you have 100 btc, you can claim 100 bcc which are 16 btc for free at the moment, not really peanuts...
How you going to do it? Sounds pretty speculative to me, if there is not really any practical and realistic ability to accomplish such supposed 16% return. So in that sense, 16% doesn't count as 16% if there is only a 1% chance of being able to carry it out.
