Keep an eye out for Omisego Airdrop to Etherum holders!

Omisego (OMG) will be giving every Eth holders who have at least .1 eth free Omisego!
This is going to happen very soon but the exact time is still to be announced according to their post found here https://www.omise.co/omisego-airdrop-update
What is still unknown is if Bittrex or Coinbase will support this. With what happened with BCC you know why this is important. Having your eth in the wrong place could leave you missing the airdrop.
It went against all my instinct to put my BTC on Bittrex during the fork. It ended up to be the best play. People who did were able to sell their BCC at top prices while the rest of us waited 24 hours for a transaction to go through.
I'll keep my ethereum on my Nano S again. Because I won't be dumping my Omisego.

Is there any list of coming airdrops for ETH holders similar to OmniseGo?
@tim-rumford thanks for posting this, it answered some questions I had posted earlier... good information!
I sort stole it from ya! Sorry about that I should have asked if you wanted to post about it.
Do you know which wallets are most likely to support this?
Bittrex to sure would be the most likely. I asked in their slack and they are not sure yet. But they already support Omisego. So it would make sense that they would support the airdrop. But this was announced very quickly. If they don't support it would be from lack of time. I would be VERY surprised if Coinbase even acknowledges this. Unlike a fork where two coins are produced, airdrops happen more frequently and I don't think they have the time or resources to address it. Just a guess though. Other exchanges may. I listed those as I use bittrex for most everything I can. Not sure which wallets but any that support Eth and smart contracts should. Myetherwallet, Jaxx etc.
I've tried finding info on how air drops work but cannot find a technical explanation. Do they function the same way as a fork where if where you have the coin supports it they automatically create a wallet with your airdropped tokens? or if I have the ETH in a wallet like Jaxx with my private key I can access it? Thanks!
no fork involved they use a smart contract I believe to send the token to ether holders. So Jaxx should be fine. Nano S, myetherwallet etc. It's up to each exchange if they will participate and give rewards. This is my understanding.
How do we know everyone will get it.... mew has not recieved it. APROX what was the date of the snapshot? And yes Biterex and Cryptopia were the best places to have BTC during the BCC airdrop...... Most of mine was in my trezor.... :-( But if i would have not sold right away I could have sold for the same amount a little later when it was available.
