Good warning. When the split occurs you will need your private keys to get your coins from both block chains. Let's say you have 10btc now and you follow walden's advice... Fork occurs and you then have:

  • 10 BTC
  • 10 BTU

Nice time to double up! Though BTU should be called #rogercoin :)

be nice please

I was being as nice as I can. I just want to make sure people have all 20 if it splits.
