Thanks for the info. It just leaves me with one question: Is it worth waiting for some other solution to arise, or is this as good (bad!) as it gets? Thanks a lot.
If you want to risk selling your BCH for less than $50, you could wait. But IMO the coin will not be worth a lot in the future. If you send your Bitcoins to a new wallet and import the old one (that still contains the BCH, but no BTC), you will be able to send them to an exchange. This way you will not be risking your coins with a shady wallet like Electron Cash. Just make sure to run the Bitcoin Cash wallet with a different PC or Virtual Machine if you don't want to risk it.

as far as i know you can get btc cash through viabtc.com just deposit your btc into that site and change into bcc and btc frozen. but you should doing that before hard fork happen.
What are you talking about? The fork already happened 4 days ago. ViaBTC was only allowing this because they would take the BCC from the coins you deposited and give you only BTC back. Now that's not possible anymore, but if you had coins at the time of the fork you can do that manually.
OP, get your private key and follow the steps from this guide[1], it's specifically written for Electrum users but it will work for you. [1] https://electrum.org/bcc2.txt

No. Have you ever see a altcoin become more popular than Bitcoin? They don't have the support, the hash power or the price to win this battle. They were just created so people can get a quick profit by dumping them on the market as fast as they could. That's what I did, and that's what most of people did. Just compare both charts and you will understand how many people believe in Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash Bitcoin

I just wake up and saw the price at almost $3200. It really made me smile and remember how we are still in the beggining of the chart, and in a few years we will see this chart again and remember how 3k was once the ATH. Also makes me happy for never giving up on Bitcoin, since the day I found a thread about it and the price was at $300.

What exactly do you want to know? It's not like users will know a lot more than you, or necessarily where the funds are stored. Me, for example, wouldn't know those details for BitTex even that I use them almost every day. I had used them to dump some Polybius ICO tokens and it was ok, but I wouldn't choose them as my first option. Limits can be found in Fees and Limits[1]; About safety, I found this on their blog[2]: We also use cold wallets and store coins safely offline – the cold wallets are secured with multi-key encryption. They are stored in a safe location. [1] https://hitbtc.com/fees-and-limits[2] https://blog.hitbtc.com/how-safe-is-our-bitcoin-exchange/

New to the world of cryptocurrency. Where is the best places to buy Bitcoins & Altcoins with Australian Dollars, preferably with the cheapest fees? It seems all exchanges need you to have Bitcoins to buy Altcoins.
Because there is no big market for most altcoins. Is there is any problem on doing Cash > Bitcoin > Altcoin trades? Try BTCMarkets[1] for BTC, LTC, ETH, ETC and XRP. If you want other altcoins, you will sadly need to buy BTC, send to another exchange like Bittrex and do trading between both coins. Or try to find someone to do P2P trades with them on LocalBitcoin[2]. [1] https://www.btcmarkets.net[2] https://localbitcoins.com/country/AU

I don't think it's mandatory in this case. Just do the step by step guide described in the page linked by you and Exodus will sign and broadcast the transaction just like you were sending any other coin. You only have to do anything with Electron Cash if you want to hold your BCC. So you would need to create a new wallet directly from Electron Cash and send your BCC to the recently created wallet.

Because most exchanges enabled the deposit of BCC. This means that people can send their coins and dump them in the market for some quick free money. That's all BCC is for The recent "high" of BCC was only possible because people couldn't deposit. It was obvious that this would happen.

Electrum cash is trusted?
Not really. I used them to check out my Bcash and it worked. But it's still not a 100% safe software. It has same developers as Electrum?
No. It's just a fork. Why Electrum didn't add download link of Electrum cash in it's website??
Because it's not from the same team. Is it because Electrum hadn't trust to Electrum cash's developers or codes or services?
Yes. Electrum actually released this statement about Electron Cash The name "Electrum" has been visible on bitcoincash.org and electrumcash.org, with a modified version of our logo. The use of our name and logo constitutes a trademark infringement.
We have never enforced our trademark against altcoin versions of Electrum (such as Litecoin, etc), because we consider that users of these altcoins are well aware of the distinction between Bitcoin and their coin, and that they cannot be harmed by that confusion. However, we do not agree with the use of the Electrum name in the context of a Bitcoin fork, because it suggests that we endorse that fork, and that we also endorse that wallet.
We reserve ourselves the right to use the name Electrum for a Bitcoin Cash wallet, should we decide to publish one in the future.

I bought district0x. But I still have some questions. How to put my tokens on market and sell It?
You will need to wait until the ICO is over and the team behind the project start asking exchanges to add their token. Until them, you will need to find someone to do P2P or just hold it. They will probably release informations about this issue in their blog[1]. [1] https://blog.district0x.io/Also, I saw that there is some tokens Has to be "burn". What does It mean. When i have to do It and why?
This probably means that the tokens that weren't sold during the ICO stage will be "destroyed". I don't think you will have to do anything. But I'm not 100% sure since there could be a new technology that the project is implementing.

I was wondering whether the ICO tracker websites like https://icotracker.net/ get coins/bounties in exchange for promoting ICOs? They are probably profiting from the referral payment that some ICOs have. They advertise the ICO and receive something like 10% per investment that came from their website. Or just flat fee advertising costs?
Taking a look at the site, I do not see any indication of them getting paid to promote a project. But they may not be disclosing if they are. How can we know that the tracker sites are promoting things fairly?
You can't. Do your research and don't fall for scams. (p.s: 80% of ICOs are scam)

If I buy bitcoins on an exchange which won't disclose my private keys, it means I can't send the coins to an address of, say, my electrum cold wallet?
Yes, you can. But not directly like you would with a wallet you control. All exchanges will let you ask for a withdraw of your coins, which will be sent to the address you choose previously. Is this the case? I would be forced to sell and buy only within the exchange? If so, how can I use my coins for something else than trading or investing? You will see a withdraw page with instructions on how to request your coins. The next question is, is there a list of exchanges that disclose your own private keys?
No.

Yes. Since you control the private keys on a blockchain.info wallet, you can extract the private keys and import them into a Bcash-compatible wallet. One such wallet is Bitcoin ABC (bitcoinabc.org/). There is another that was called Electrum Cash, but I think they may have changed the name, since they were infringing on Electrum's trademark.
The network is still quite slow, since difficulty hasn't adjusted and the hash rate is comparatively low vs. the original chain.
With the the private keys you mean the recovery phrase of 12 words ? or you're reffering to something else ? He is talking about the private key of each address that may contain any coins.
You can do a few "hacks" to get the private keys of your address on Blockchain. What is a Bitcoin private key: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Private_keyThe following method[1] allows you to export your private keys direct from the address you are looking for on your Blockchain wallet. Or if you don't understand, this guy wrote the same guide with other words in this[2] thread. [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-2l6xOqcbjs9QWEqSh72RD1d8EEdvG_hQuEXw_f_o6w[2] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2063572.02- Which BCC compatible wallets are avilable ? or there is none available yet ?
http://www.electroncash.org/Electron Wallet | Light wallet, that doesn't require you to download the whole blockchain. https://www.bitcoinabc.org/BitcoinABC | Full node. Will download the whole blockchain, may take some time and require space on your HD.

and if i want the same BCH , i can have it from a paper wallet , and in wich wallet i can sweep for the bch ?
Something like this should work: 1. Get your private key from the paper wallet, import it on Electrum[1], create a new wallet and send your coins to the new wallet you just created; 2. Download Electron Cash[1] and import your first wallet (the one on the paper wallet that you just sent the coins to your new wallet); 3. You will probably see your BCC balance. Now you have BTC on your new wallet and BCC on your Electron Cash wallet. [1] https://electrum.org/#download[2] http://www.electroncash.org/
