We have not claimed the BCH. We will not put the security of our accounts system at risk without completely understanding BCH first. It takes time and resources to properly audit, build and test new cryptos if and when we decide to introduce them for our player base.
Our official position is that we only support BTC as of today, but that doesn't mean our position can't change as we understand more about the mechanisms of BCH.
So you froze the ability for people to withdraw for days beforehand and didn't even use that time to even understand how bitcoin cash works? Surely you must realize by now that not only was the freeze pointless (thanks to consensus level replay protection) but unfairly resulted in you now sitting on a lot of bitcoin cash that your users would have otherwise been able to access.
Can you at least confirm if you have a snapshot of all users balances at the time of the fork, if you ever decide to be reasonable and offer bitcoin cash to your users?
Hi RHavar,
We posted a notice on Jul 27 that we were going to stop withdrawals on Jul 30, giving players a full 3 days notice to move their balances out.
https://nitrogensports.eu/blog/note-to-our-players-concerning-the-bitcoin-network/Regardless of what ended up happening on the network, we weren't about to take the chance by keeping our accounts open during the fork. Just about every exchange worth its salt had the same policy.
Also, part of the reason we needed to shut down deposits and withdrawals was to take balance screen shots, so yes ... in answer to your question ... we have them.
This certainly doesn't change the fact that we gave players more than enough notice to take out their balances, so if we decide not to support BCH, we gave our players every opportunity to explore other options beforehand.
- Jason.
