RE: Very Quick Guide To Get BCC on 1st of August (BTC UAHF)
Upvoted and followed, thanks! Do you know if any exchanges are on board, or if we should withdraw everything?
Poloniex has withdrawal limits, I just requested they be removed... Down to the wire here! :)
A few exchanges, like kraken, bitfinex and bittrex, have declared that they will support BCC and credit your account with the same amount you have in BTC.
Bitfinex: https://www.bitfinex.com/posts/212/review

Bittrex: https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000808991-Statement-on-Bitcoin-Cash-BCC-
In terms of poloniex, they stated:
“Even if two viable blockchains emerge, we may or may not support both and will make such a decision only after we are satisfied that we can safely support either blockchain in an enterprise environment,” explains the U.S. based exchange Poloniex.

Either way, if you hold your private key you can import your wallet into a wallet client listed on https://www.bitcoincash.org/ and use your BCC.
Thanks a bunch. I don't like Polo's statement much, nor do I like the withdrawal restrictions. 18 hours later and they haven't responded to the ticket, but, it is the weekend...
I believe the only part necessary is that I have my private key, correct? In other words, I don't need to download new wallet software in the next 36 or so hours in order to take part, do I? (Currently using Bitcoin Core v0.14.2.0.)
You assistance is appreciated, thanks again!
"I don't need to download new wallet software in the next 36 or so hours in order to take part, do I? "
No, if someone says you need to download some wallet to claim the BCC then it's a phishing scam.
If you hold your bitcoins in an address that you know the private keys then you will have controll over your BCC.
For now the wallets that will show you your BCC if you import the private keys are the wallets listed on the official bitcoin cash site.
The integration of BCC into more well known wallets will take some time, for example jaxx:

If you don't trust those wallets and don't want to wait for more well known wallets to implement BCC you could send your BTC to a trusted exchange that will credit you with the BCC, like bittrex.
