<html> <p>Basically after an hard fork, the distributed ledger gets copied and if there is no replay protection on the second ledger, the copy, <strong>every transaction made in either of the chain can be replayed in the other</strong>. </p> <p>The first ledger also has no replay protection and to implement it another hard fork would be necessary, which could be possible but not in 3 months time.</p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/GEPqCOR.png" width="1710" height="1328"/></p> <p> <strong>So, how to avoid it? </strong> </p> <ol> <li>After the fork your wallet will have both BTC and BTG.<br> </li> <li>Send your BTC to another wallet you control, so you'll have <strong>wallet 1 with BTG</strong> and <strong>wallet 2 with BTC</strong>.<br> </li> <li>Send your BTG to whoever you'd like as the transactions is not replayable anymore (as long as the address remains fundless) </li> </ol> <p> I tried to keep it short, if you'd like more info this 3 min video explains it well:</p> <p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbqafDBP8ls </p> <p>If you found this helpfull please <strong>Upvote</strong> and <strong>Resteem </strong>:) </p> </html>
