I have a question about the hardfork. What must I do with my wallet.dat file. How does this go when there is a hardfork? Just need to download the new chain and copy paste my wallet.dat file in the new roaming folder?

Yes, my understanding is that it is going to be like any other wallet update, but this one will add the DX capabilities. Not really a "hard"fork, more of a soft fork. And it won't be a "new" chain - you should be able to copy in your chain data file along with your wallet.dat and not have to wait to re-sync.

since it's a softfork it isn't going to create a new token correct?

No new tokens, just new wallet software and DX support. As far as I understand it, nothing bad would happen to someone who stays on an older wallet, but they won't be able to trade on the DX, operate an exchange node, or receive shares of network revenue. So there's not much motivation to stick with the previous software.

ok thanks all for answering I thought I would be a hard fork but seems I remember incorrectly

The term "hard fork" has been used on Slack and elsewhere, but inappropriately as far as I know. The chain will not be split. It's possible that staking won't work anymore if you stick with old wallet, but not sure about that. Will have to check with the devs.
