Ok, this is seriously starting to make me nuts!

I just can't figure out how to acquire BCH.
Look, I'm not a genius but I'm also not an idiot.

I've been over hundreds of cryptocurrency websites over the last few days.
I contacted Bitmain and asked where to get BCH. They were no help.
I've checked out Changelly and it seems like they want to just give me script to put on my website.

Aggggggghhhgghgh!!!

Lots of people here have gear from Bitmain. So some of you must have paid with BCH.
How, for the love of god, did you get the BCH?!?

Ok.
The Shapeshift site won't open for me. It says it's not available in my region.
Changelly works.

Lets see if I have this path correct.

Xfer $$ from bank to Coinbase and buy Bitcoin.
Go Changelly, enter my BTC wallet, xfer BTC to BCH and enter Bitmain wallet address to send Bitmain.

Is that how its done?

Howdy,
New here.
Spent days soaking all this bitcointalk up. I gotta admit I'm fascinated by it, staying up till dawn reading all I can.

So I want to take the plunge and buy the S9.
But Bitmain only takes Bitcoin Cash?

I've hit a roadblock. I actually have wallets with 2 sites and can't figure out how to acquire BCH from either one!
Google provided some sketchy sites...
What am I missing here?

So. How/where to get BCH?

Please and thank you!
Which sites ? Can you name them so we can help you.

Fastest way to buy Bitcoin Cash is to use Shapeshift or Changelly you'll choose which coin you want to trade and how much you want then they'll ask your bitcoin cash address after that you'll be asked to send the coins to their address once that transaction confirms you should receive your bitcoin cash to your wallet.

Thanks for getting back to me.
My wallets are on Blockchain.info and Coinbase.

It seems that Coinbase isn't even dealing with BCH until Jan '18.
Blockchain explains how to use Shapeshift to convert BCH to BTC, but (I think) it explains that you can't Shapeshift BTC->BCH or buy BCH on their site.

Google took me to a spammy message board where someone said use "Kraken", another site that just had a place holder on the landing page.

I've read dozens of sights without being able to find a clear answer.
