Thanks.
I have one "good" pc in the house it's the only one I used for this whole thing, have electrum where my btc was and a coinbase account where I buy, for holding, btc. So had that before the chain split
So took the btc on electrum, sent it back to coinbase, didn't take to long to get there like 20 mins maybe. Downloaded Electron, it insta knew I had how much ever in bch (same amount of btc I had which is now on coinbase) on electrum which ports over to electron just by downloading. Then I opened a hitbtc account as Pokerlogist said they did, transferred from electron to hitbtc had to move from a "main account" on hitbtc to a "trading account" sold bch for btc on hitbtc then moved it back from a trading accout to main account then sent back to coinbase.
Gonna start a new wallet on electrum after uninstalling both electron and electrum and running a boot time scan on this pc, because I have, what to me, is a lot of $ worth of btc. Prolly could just start up a new wallet on electrum and be fine really.
All in all this was completely worth it for me, your experience may differ, but after fees and what not this was like super free money, just wish I had done it when bch was worth $800.
Still have like $20 worth of btc on hitbtc the way it worked out fwiw. And +1 for using at own risk, but I really don't think it was that difficult.
Edit:
I think it's worth noting that if you believe that bch is going to be worth more in the future then it is wholly reasonable to hold it right now as the price is crashing. I, fwiw, think it just doesn't have any real use cases that btc or another coin can't already do better so I sold it off.
