I hope the more savy people here on Steem will be able to answer this question:
Can I create a Bitcoin cash wallet now using my bitcoin private key and the BHC will automatically appear on my wallet, or should I wait until after the fork and create the bitcoin cash wallet?
I just want to make sure that I dont mess this up. :)
I am trying to find this out myself. I would think the allocation of Bitcoin Cash will come later and be measured on the amount of Bitcoin you held in your account at the time of the fork. This may be incorrect however. Only some exchanges are going to offer the new coin so you may want to check whether yours does as you may not get the free coins.
I have bitcoin on JAXX wich is a personall wallet and they said that they will support bitcoin cash later and it would automatically integrate, but they dont know how long its going to take, it could take months according to them. So I am going to use Electron Cash which is a bitcoin cash wallet but I dont want to create it now with my bitcoin private key and mess this up.
