BCH by far is the most decent among all forks and it's currently the only fork that is supported by poloniex.

As for BTG, They released a press about it but this was from October: https://poloniex.com/press-releases/2017.10.24-Notice-About-Bitcoin-Gold
Imo poloniex probably won't support it until the devs get their act together and until it received a significant demand from the community.

For the other funny forks such as super bitcoin, bitcoin God, Bitcoin Uranium etc. I'm pretty sure they won't support it and the reason should be obvious.

To keep up what's happening in poloniex. I'll leave the links below:

Updates are also made on their Twitter account: https://twitter.com/poloniex

big exchanges like poloniex will not waste their server resources to support random useless forks which will only have some temporary volume increase and then disappear into darkness!
they are only interested in high volume coins which they can benefit from when people trade. their profit  comes from a percentage of that volume (the trading fees to be exact).
additionally these new forks are so cheap in some cases that it is not worth bothering to even claim them. not to mention their software is broken and incomplete so the exchanges can not even support the wallet yet!

Hi everybody,

I can not find any clue about Poloneix's action about forks. Is there anybody who has any idea or experience about it?


There are so many forks for example Bitcoin Silver, Bitcoin God, Bitcoin Diamond, Bitcoin Super Plus and so on. Poloniex will for sure not support each upcoming fork. If you want to gain all those coins, you should have your Bitcoins in your own wallet, where you own your private key.
