3 days notice. Opening an account somewhere can take weeks
You can withdraw to a paper wallet without opening an account. You generate a new keypair, initiate a withdrawal from coinbase to your public key, and then can get both XBT and BCC from the private key later.
Unacceptable behavior. They should immediately offer a way for people to access bitcoin cash or they deserve to be sued into oblivion.
