So yeah, as we all know Bittrex has given customers Bitcoin Cash tokens at a rate of 1:1 depending on how many bitcoins you held at the time of the blockchain snapshot was taken. So that means that every single person with a balance on the exchange is now trading within a sort of a closed economy, meaning that the price is somewhat inflated.
Since Bittrex is my favorite altcoin exchange, when will it start accepting Bitcoin Cash deposits? Anyone know an exact date, or if not an approximation?
And for now, are there any alternatives apart from Kraken and bittrex that i can deposit and sell bitcoin cash at a decent rate at?
Please let me know your thoughts, thanks!
I'm anxious to get onto bittrex so that i can trade BCC as well but it seems like that there isn't any sort of deadline for this to happen. I've checked their official statement of the fork, it says something about when BTC deposits are going to be activated but nothing about when BCC deposits are going to be opened...
At this time, several exchanges have expressed the future support for BCC trading as well as mining pools. Bittrex will be monitoring this situation closely. Bittrex will close deposits and withdrawals of Bitcoin (including 2nd layer protocol XCP/OMNI and associated assets) 24 hours prior to the BCC UAHF time on August 1st, 5:20am PT (12:20pm UTC). The wallet will remain closed until the majority hash power chain is clearly established. Trading will remain active during this time. In the event of a chain split, Bittrex will take all reasonable steps to ensure that customer funds can be preserved on both chains.
Bittrex will monitor the BCC network stability and developments and assess the viability of opening trading of BCC assets. There is no guarantee that any markets will open to allow BCC assets to be tradable on Bittrex exchange. In the case of no BCC market opening you will be able to withdraw BCC.
I think that maybe it won't even get opened, ever. Unless a lot more merchants express interest in it.
Now that the drama is over.. No decisions about $BCC markets will be made until the chain proves viable. @BittrexExchange #WontTradeVapor
Have you tried ViaBTC and HitBTC exchanges? ViaBTC is one of the primary supporters behind BCC so no way will they be closing BCC/BTC markets.
