literary all of them!

an exchange service is a business looking to make more money. and they make that money mostly by people trading there. the more coins the add the more they can earn. adding something hot like a split of bitcoin is going to make them a lot of money.

we saw bitfinex list BU tokens even though the BU was obviously not going to happen.

p.s. don't keep any coins there though. they may add the market later but not grant the coins to anyone keeping coins there because they may screw up.

I feel like Coinbase, Poloniex and LBC will do right by you. Specifically Poloniex, if Im remembering right, I wasnt mad at the way they handled ETC/ETH. People would demonstrate at Coinbase HQ if they don't do right by this, so they will be game. And LBC hasn't experienced this before, but for some reason, I think they would be perceptive enough, given the size of their market, to traffic in both coins.

But that's all just conjecture, we will see. Because people want that value, any exchange that gives you access to both forks will be advertising it as a feature ;) We will all be aware ahead of time, I feel. But I would suggest holding it in your own wallet, which you have the key to. Much easier, yes?

I wish I had the skill to write a wallet/client that could do a clean split of my coins I don't trust exchanges to do it for me.
If a split happens come Aug 1 the user base needs a simple tool to split wallets.

Yeah  ;D I was meaning exactly THIS that I get BOTH coins. To lazy to keep them in a wallet and not sure when I buy/sell.

Poloniex granted both coins ETH and ETC right?
What about Bitfinex?

poloniex said they will list as long as there arent any repeat attacks.. also they did the same for ETC
