I'm still curious, whether freebitco.in will update the rate at least once before the cutoff in January.
Perhaps Myfe can comment on whether they will be updating the rate before January. If so, how many times.
We have no plans to update the rate. This is consistent with how we handled the Bitcoin Cash hard fork. We're one of the few online bitcoin wallets to ensure our members get access to their coins...we provide that access for redemption to Bitcoin at a fixed rate OR to withdraw to another wallet.
I totally understand why you'd prefer to get a the market rate if our rate is below market. I plan to withdraw my personal Bitcoin Gold balance (as I have my Bitcoin Cash balance) to an external wallet so I can gain market-current rates or hold my coin into the future.
Good questions, thanks for asking.
