At this point, there's really no reason for them to make a decision or even pick a side. Deciding what to do now could backfire on them, so it makes sense to just wait to see what happens.
Coinbase has handled hard forks before. With Ethereum, they chose not to offer long-term support ETC and let people withdraw them for a couple of months before dropping support.
In their FAQ they say they'll handle hard forks on a case-by-case basis. I see no reason to suspect that they'd completely fuck over every single one of their bitcoin customers by just throwing away or keeping their coins on the "losing" chain.

very supportive writing posts for me, and thank you so much to the moderators theymos for his guidance.
although sometimes Bitcoin Cash is always cornered Bitcoin and always rival the power of Bitcoin, but I was greatly helped by his there this thread.

Thanks to original poster for the clear summary. I was wondering, is there any BCH wallet by now that is considered completely safe
Is this almost similar to hacking? Does this only happen to bitcoin if bitcoin is not separated with Bitcoin Cash? What about the altcoin I collect with Bitcoin Cash?
Thanks for the information explained in a very easy to understand manner.Glad that everything's the way it was. Time to move forward.
I'm using the core wallet, so I setup a second pc with a fresh install of windows 10 out of a old mining rig. I installed ABC wallet, but it just freezes after downloading about 60% of the blocks. Restarting, reinstalling doesn't fix it. Now, I'm trying to do it with bitcoin unlimited wallet, which is taking days. Is this my best option?
FreeBitcoins.com allows you to dig and dump in minutes.
You can dig individual addresses or whole .dats' in a few clicks.
Only dig empty address though obviously and never trust that address again (but save it "just in case".)
is this a legitimate business ?

I can use the privkey of other addresses in my old wallet right? Only the address with all the coins is to be left alone after I import it into BCH wallet. Or are all those keys / addresses subject of risks?

I had the wrong path for old multibithd seeds. They must be done BIP39, possibly without encryption; using derivation path m'/0' multibit documentation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-KcY6KUVnY&feature=youtu.be
Well, as I've mentioned before it's usually a problem with compatibility or the derivation path.the video from multibit is for electrum wallet not electrum cash but it is same procedure for electrum cash to get bch.
Of course, Bitcoin Cash is basically just stealing all the work from others without actually being capable of delivering something themselves.Remember to send your btc to new wallet made from a new seed first as stated by Theymos in the OP.. it would be such a shame to trade security for convenience;
Definitely.I think this may cause a decreasing feedback loop for bch. ..more people figure out how to spend their bch the more they will dump and the lower price will go 
All that shitcoin is good for is trading it in for some real money.

I have not followed any campaign I just entered the middle of september until now.
If my compromised machine is used to steal my bch then would not the bch block explorer be able show us exactly when my funds are stolen? And to where??? That alone would be interesting..
Obviously? That is most often not useful though.3 imported old now empty multibitHD seed into electrum cash
4 I tried both BIP39 and BIP145 with BIP39
5 ..using both m'/44'/0'/0'/ & m'/145'/0'/0'/ (not sure which is correct)
There's your mistake. If the seed implementation isn't compatible, or you specify the wrong derivation path, you will get completely different addresses. Here is the solution that you're looking for:4 I tried both BIP39 and BIP145 with BIP39

Or you have to manually or otherwise extract the private keys from your MultiBit HD wallet/seed...
Automated (but technical) method requiring use of python scripts: https://github.com/HardCorePawn/multibit_recovery
Manual method:
- Create offline version of https://iancoleman.github.io/bip39/
- Put in your MultiBit HD seed
- Set Derivation Path -> BIP32
- Set Client = "MultiBit HD"
- Copy all the address/private keys (click show more until you are sure you have more than all the addresses you ever used)
- Set Client = "Custom" -> Set Derivation Path = m/0'/1
- Copy all the change addresses/private keys (click show more until you are sure you have more than all the addresses you ever used)
Once you have all your private keys:
- In Electrum -> New/Restore -> Standard Wallet -> Create a new seed
- Once wallet is created, "Wallet -> Private Keys -> Sweep"
- Paste in all the private keys you got from automated or manual method
You should now have all your coins in an Electrum HD Wallet.

as a last resort I can go back into multibitHD and modify it to dump the keys if the empty old private keys will work to open bch?
Yes, you can dump priv keys and import into Bitcoin ABC. Opening multibitHD is no longer needed, you can use a tool (as described above).Thank you Lauda ^^ Thanks!
I actually figured it out just now using another method see below.

did not work with electrum cash for me so far... what am I doing wrong?
If my compromised machine is used to steal my bch then would not the bch block explorer be able show us exactly when my funds are stolen? And to where??? That alone would be interesting..
In the alternative I am still trying to find out what I am doing wrong..any suggestions welcome.
Here is what I 've done so far:
1 Sent bitcoins to new wallet with new seed for safety;
2 downloaded electron cash onto newly formatted and separate computer
3 imported old now empty multibitHD seed into electrum cash
4 I tried both BIP39 and BIP145 with BIP39
5 ..using both m'/44'/0'/0'/ & m'/145'/0'/0'/ (not sure which is correct)
4 wallet creates itself with no transactions showings and zero balance in all instances.
Please help.
I am now going to try bitcoin abc..

Pretty certain my computer is clean, I dunno I'm not hugely tech gifted & whilst pretty close to 100% confident I am able to do it I can't help but feel nervous about it. I am going to do it this week though, fuck it.
Being emotional about these things is irrational, and this will lead to mistakes in the future that may have grave consequences for your holdings. If you can't fully, and safely differentiate between completely safe actions/procedures and potentially unsafe one, then that is a cause for concern.Would you advise buying a new laptop to download the BCH wallet onto? I don't care about the cost as the BCH will easily cover that plus a lot more. I just want to be 100% safe.
No. Use a VM and install Bitcoin ABC if you don't have a spare system to temporarily format. 
Still kind of nervous about redeeming my BCH
Why? Plenty of people have done it. but I really want to as it's kind of a lot of money that I could do with. Obviously I've read theymos' instructions on page 1. Without reading through all the other pages, has anything changed or is there a better method to claim my BCH. I'm strongly thinking about claiming my BCH this week.
Not really, no. Just move your BTC to a new address. Import the old private key into a BCH wallet, and done. Nothing can really go wrong unless your system is compromised already (whilst moving BTC).

like you, LFC_Bitcoin, I also reluctantly (still not yet) redeeming BCH
if you simply just want to redeem and sell BCH with no intentions of holding
I would say just find a js tx tool, preferably downloadable page, that can work with BCH
so you could just open on incognito tab, create a signed raw transaction with
your exchanger deposit address as receiving address, then push it on BCH network
recently I've been reading about coinb.in, he's reviewing/testing pull request on BCH
though I didn't see it implemented on coinb latest version
so I'm still looking around for a similar working (trusted) project
