I know everyone wants to to grab BTC Cash and dump or whatever but be careful whatever wallet you download because you're importing the SAME keys if im not mistaken as your real bitcoin wallet. A comprimised wallet could extract your keys! And all that to make 10-20% gains. If you dump in time that is!

Good luck! Post your thoughts below!

I think it's definitely important to download the wallet from a trusted source. How do you know that you can trust the wallet source when you download the bitcoin cash wallet?

It seems like someone could take over the official web site and replace the wallet binary. There was a man-in-the-middle exploit demoed at defcon where all of the images on the web were served upside down on an open wifi network.

Is there a time limit to do create the BCC and get the 'free' coins?

No but I'm sure there's going to be a rush to dump for many investors.
