Forget the title,need to know how Electrum has planned to handle the coins in case we witness the split.Are there any special development operations in the process ? Would we get an update after August 1st ?
I should not be insecure about letting my coins stay in Electrum right ?
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Use these instructions that explain how to split your coins with electrum. The instructions were originally a contingency plan for a BU fork, but they are also applicable to any other fork.

http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/hardfork.html?highlight=fork


While splitting your coins you can manually change the electrum settings to connect to a node on a particular chain.

At the bitnodes website search through the IP addresses from the nodes electrum's settings lists until you find the user agent indicating which chain a particular node is on.

Thanks a lot for linking me there dude,I couldn't find that link through manual searches.

That's advanced!As of now (with the version I'm running) I don't see those options but since you have given the link,I'll refer to it.
