Ethereum Fork: Step-by-Step Guide to Safely Splitting your ETH/ETC

in ethereum •  8 years ago 

@pauls I have two computers - computer #1 has the Mist Wallet with my ETH/ETC pre-split. I answered yes to post hard fork question when installing. Computer #2 will have a Mist Wallet as well. This is where I wish to send my ETC. A couple of questions:

A) After I send to the contract, am I correct that my ETH will simply come back to computer#1 and thus my balance will stay the same?
B) After I send to the contract, am I correct in saying that ETC will go to computer#2 from which I will be able to do anything with it (except send back to computer#1)?
C) So, if I have 20 ETH in Mist wallet on computer#1 and I send 2 ETH to the contract, my balances should show 20ETH on computer1 and 2ETC on computer2?
D) When installing Mist Wallet on computer #2 do I need to answer YES to the question about hardfork or no?

Thanks!!
Greg

It depends what addresses you use for the fields. I would recommend creating a new account on Computer #1 and using that address for the 'target fork' field in the contract. Same goes for Computer #2, and use that account for 'target no fork'.

When installing Mist on computer #2, you should select NO to the hardfork question and that will put you on the ETC chain.
