You need to generate a waves wallet with letters “B”, “C” and “H” in it, not necessarily in consecutive order.
If the address contains the “B”, “C” and “H” letters in the consecutive order the address receives a double payout.
Then send your WCT to that address and wait until the airdrop has been completed!
How to generate a new address? Try to generate a new account until it contains the correct letters or create a vanity address! Manual is at: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.21665498UPDATE: The case of letters doesn’t matter. Old addresses with mentioned letters in the right order are also eligible.
When I run the generator with for example "BCH" it will give me 500 addresses within 1 minute. How high is the risk that I generate the same addresses as others who are using the same generator? I mean suddenly I would have public and private key from an other generated BCH addresses, no?
No risk at all, the sun will run out of energy before you generate 2 exact the same pass phrases. That's the whole idea of pass phrases (or private key).
What the generator does is constantly generating random pass phrases.
When a pass phrase is generated, the tool filters for the entered string of text in the address.
When the string isn't found in the address, it will reject the pass phrase and the cycle continues.
When the string of text is found, it will show (and save) the corresponding pass phrase.
Every extra character in the string takes an average of 58 times longer to be found, so words longer than 6 characters may take weeks
or months to be found (unless you're lucky).
Someone explaining it:

https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/is-12-words-enough/msg191405/#msg19140512 word passphrases are secure, I have personally audited the code and done the math and they are secure.
They use the javascript secure random number generator to product the necessary entropy, and selects words from a wordlist of 1626 different words, this gives us 1626^12 possible combinations and an entropy level of
Log (1626^12)/log (2) = 128 bits of entropy
This is an arbitrarily large number, with 38 decimal places, even with one trillion guesses a second, it would take until beyond the heat death of the universe to compute the entire keyspace.
And that's for 12 word pass phrases, this generator does 15 word pass phrases.
