I wonder if it's a coincidence, since I've now seen two other services I'm using suddenly distribute BCC shares (in the form of Bitcoin, though) this week. Neither were anything I could do about, since I had chosen to put my Bitcoin with them without the possibility to take them back before the Aug hardfork, so I guess I'm pleasantly surprised.
Coins.ph makes me wonder though, especially when you consider that they've always seemed pretty clear that they're absolutely pro-BTC. Their own announcement regarding the hardfork seemed to indicate they wouldn't have anything to do with BCH. Good on them, though. I think any exchange who truly put their support behind BTC should have immediately exchanged their BCH and put the coins where their mouth is.
Perhaps a lesson was learned from all those who did nothing. They don't want a second mass exodus triggered by Oct and Nov forks?

At what price? Today's price? It makes quite a difference...
I've received an email from coins.ph about 5 minutes ago and apparently they are distributing their users' share of BCC during the previous fork who haven't had the chance to withdraw their coins from the exchange. It was automatically converted to BTC though, but still was a good move from the said exchange. Has anyone received their share too? And are other exchanges that haven't supported the fork previously doing the similar move? Well, I just got quite a good amount for what they've done.
I have to say that if people make use of an exchange, wallet service, gambling site, or whatever other service that keeps people's coins, there is no way that people have a single thing to complain about. It was their choice to not keep their coins under their own full control. It's beyond insane how some people are going nuts on various services who aren't handing people 'their' BCC's sooner. That's what you get if you aren't the sole owner of your private keys, let that be a lesson to anyone. Ultimately, an exchange doesn't need to do so if they feel like BCC isn't something that should be supported, and thus people need to accept and respect that move. Now there is a new split coming up, it means people have the chance to do everything right now, and that's keeping their coins offline.
