Hi, I recently had BTC in my core wallet during BTC Gold fork and was snapshotted.  I don't want to use the same address for the snapshot of B2X.

What I was planning to do was install Electrum, then send my BTC to a receiving address in the Electrum wallet.  The Electrum wallet address will then be snapshotted for the B2X fork.  Then send BTC back to a different address in core once the snapshot occurs

Is this the way other users are managing the forks, and is this a good and secure way to do this?

Then I could use the private keys from core to claim by BTC gold, then use the private keys from Electrum to claim B2X.  Then keep the BTC in core in a separate address in the wallet.

First of all, you must remember the basic rule, it is never under any circumstances to send your private key to anyone. It should only be with you. Means to keep preferably on a desktop purse. Then everything will be safe. But your plan is still not bad. In this case, the address does not light up twice.

i think the main problem is still replay protection, I'm not realy sure its safe to send anythink anywhere after the fork, also if hashrate drops, there will be days long confirmation time of transactions.
