I think its high time service providers took a definite stance on this.
Most weird forks are only traded on equally weird exchanges. Once there is enough demand from users, other exchanges add them too.
I've predicted it months ago already: as long as forks are profitable for the creators, they'll keep coming. Just like altcoins, just like ICOs, this is just the next step. Hype a fork, premine 100,000 coins for yourself, and once people start buying it, you make tens of millions of dollars profit! Then, just like any ICO nowadays, you just pull the exact same trick on the next fork and profit even more.
This will only stop once Bitcoin users stop caring, but since it creates an "if I don't do it I lose out on free money"-feeling, people will keep using forks. I too can barely keep track of all the forks nowadays, but not claiming them means I lose money.
Now, back to mixers: be
very careful when you claim forked coins, any transaction on any forked chain can link all involved Bitcoin addresses together, and this can compromise the privacy you're so carefully guarding when you use ChipMixer!
