You might want to discover and read the other sections in this forum about how to "claim" coins from a fork. One example is here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=87.0
The important ones to read about are about the hard fork.
In summary, for me:
1. Visit the official page of the fork, in your case Bitcoin Cash.
2. Find the guide that lists official wallets supporting it.
3. Import your private keys from block.io
4. You have your coins (inside the BCH wallet).

Greetings everyone,
Initially Block.io stated they would support Bitcoin Cash in September and that never happened.
After reaching out to them they stated:
"The Bitcoin Cash network seems to be dying in favor of the new Segwit2x fork its proponents want to push. While we continue to index the Bitcoin Cash blockchain, we do not believe full support for this network is merited given its low adoption.
If you wish to use your addresses to claim your Bitcoin Cash equivalent in the mean, see block.io/dashboard/settings -> Access Private Keys, and then claim your Bitcoin Cash from a service that supports that network."
At this point I attempted to transfer Bitcoin Cash to Btc.com with their tool but it is stating that no funds were located so they probably are not compatible with Block.io.
Does anyone have a service that will support the transfer of Bitcoin Cash from Block.io with my private keys so I can get it off their exchange and into my wallet?
Thanks so much!! Happy Hump Day!
Cheers!
