Title: Getting 250% more BCC by buying BTC on margin on Poloniex during Fork Post by: adaseb on July 26, 2017, 09:50:55 PM According to Poloniex,

Seems like this is the same scenario that we all missed out on during the ETH/ETC fork. Consider the scenario Quote Alice shorts ETH by borrowing 200 ETH from Bob and selling it to Carol Carol, who used her own BTC to buy 200 ETH in the spot market, withdraws all 200 ETH to her Mist wallet Alice now owns Carols BTC BCC Hard Fork occurs Alice now receives BCC Alice closes her short by selling her BTC and buying back ETH and sending it back to Bob. OR you don't even have to take a trade Quote Alice places a bid to buy ETH at 0.0001 ETH/BTC and sends it to the market During that time Alice borrows BTC from Carol BCC Hard Fork occurs Alice now receives BCC Alice cancels her ETH order Carol gets her BTC back from Alice with interest PS, this is highly speculative... do it at your own risk.
