Okay I had an older empty wallet last used in Nov 2015 it was a core 11 I went to upgrade it to have a wallet for holding coin
I also started a new core 14 wallet for holding coin to wait for the fork.
First question fork comes I have 1 coin in each wallet. this is the core 14 wallet. that downloads from this site.
do I have 2 forks on each wallet and my 2 coins are now 4
wallet 1 =1 btc now wallet 1 = 1btc left side of fork 1 btc/seg right side of fork. values of each to be determined by the market.
wallet 2 would do the same since it is a core 14 from this site link
next question if I want a faster core synch up
24gb ram
i7 6700t cpu
500 gb empty ssd all on win 10 should be quick to synch
I think I will build 3 core 14 wallets
one on win 10
one on mac os
one on linux
maybe 1 coin in each to wait for the fork.
I can not seem to find a lot of info here about where to keep my coins so that I have coins on both forks.
So as I understand it, from reading
this in depth.
Your private keys control the bitcoin and therefore each get the "split" so you only end up with one x amount of
BTC and one x amount of
BTCAlt.
This means that the split
should only be applied once to your coins controlled by the private keys (be aware that if it happens twice, there may be some issues in rejection by the network). There's also the added complication that extra software will be needed to handle the split so there will probably only be the one split (and not both that will be applied).
You can always keep it going and experiment with it though, I'd be interested to find the results you get.
