Are my bitcoins safe in online wallet www.blockchain.info for what happens on August 1?
I have my private keys & my account is fully secured.
I really need to know this Smiley
Probably not. Your coins were never safe with blockchain.info anyways since they continuously have security and usability issues anyways. If a chain split happens, you won't be able to decide on which chain you want to transact on, blockchain.info will choose that for you.

It is true that blockchain.info has had security and usability issues in that past, but unlike exchanges and other wallet sites, you have 100% control over your private keys.

If blockchain.info doesn't have the features you want, can always move your private keys to a wallet that does at any time before or after a fork.

@Shawns, if you control your private keys, then your bitcoins are not affected by a fork until you decide to spend them.
Blockchain.info don't give control of private keys, this function was removed when they released new version of website. You only can to import private keys to blockchain.info wallet.
