Im a bit afraid since 1 augustus is coming quick right now.

I have my coins in my blockchain.info web wallet for over 2 years now, I have my private keys and my account is 100% secured & verified.
All my coins aren't in a imported wallet adress.

Also, will blockchain.info choose for me on what side I'm coming when the split happens? (>Could this be bad?)

I'm new to this whole thing thats going to happen on August 1.

Let me know!

When the split happens, you will retain both coin version and your coins should be safe with your private keys.

BIP 141 support is only at 43%.  For a split not to happen, BIP 91 would have to be implemented before July 31 which is very doubtful given the fact that BIP 91 is currently only at 16%.

Don't touch your coins until august 2nd and your coins will be safe. If you have the control of your private keys you can use it in other client and you will have both coins if you want and hardfork happens.

Since you do have access to all your private keys, you should be safe, just try not to make any transactions until August the first, since it might be unsafe until that date. No need to worry, you did well saving your private keys, although I would totally recommend swapping wallets to Electrum or a form of cold storage. They really are safer and more convenient and you already have your private keys so it should be quite easy to import wallets for you.

Well, blockchain isn't liked by a lot of people on this forum since they do think it is unsafe, but since you do have access to your private keys, it should be alright. Even if blockchain becomes unsafe, you can just transfer it to another wallet and then use it from there. Should be all good though, you can read the statement that blockchain has released related to segwit.

Not a bad idea, swapping to a hardware wallet would be beneficial for you and be safer than your current wallet.

I was curious to this also because I use blockchain as my hot wallet. I don't keep much there but I keep spending money there so I'll be following this thread. From most of the reports I've read, all coins should be moved from exchanges and potentially coinbase?  Not too sure about coinbase, I have read conflicting reports.
