Am I understanding correctly that in order to show coins held in the original wallet that we have to make a tx of some kind?
Does that not require the original wallet to be corrected?
If that is the case, then why is a new wallet necessary at all?

Another question/concern:  I certainly hope that the holders of coins in the original wallet are satisfied first before creating a new wallet and releasing it to miners, which usually ensues a dump.  If that is the case, then original holders will be at a serious disadvantage.
