So I logged into coinbase after a while of not mining to set up a rig once again last night. To my surprise, I have a BCH wallet in my account now (I know they just added BCH trading). But what is weird is I have funds in it? It shows as receiving ~$67USD worth of BCH on december 14th, which has since doubled in value. It says it came from a BCH address, but does not list the address and does not have the transaction details like BTC transactions on CB have. Any ideas?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I somehow have BCH...?

if you held BTC on coinbase at the time of the fork then you received an equal amount of BCH.
I literally had like 5 cents worth of BTC.
oh you mean the fork way back when? That is possible.

You must have had more than $0.05 worth of BTC on Coinbase to receive $67 worth of BCH. It was a 1:1 fork, if I'm not mistaken. I received 3.562 BCH.
thanks for the insight, I didn't realize this. It was a while ago so I guess it was before I emptied the account. Thanks!
It was in fact a 1:1 fork.
My BCH showed up elsewhere, as I don't HOLD funds on Coinbase more than a day at most - and that is due to the timeframe for "start a transaction" and "transaction completes" but I don't get around to checking it 'till the next day.
