still kinda weird, but yes it looks like you need to send them out of a wallet by that point, but that's annoying because you have to use the private key of your cold storage or hardware wallet which will screw up your storage if you have seeds locked away.
i think i preferred the previous version where you sent it hardware wallet - temporary wallet - hardware wallet which left you with a junk key. this way means you'll have to get a new seed.
i dont mind creating a new wallet and send everything to that one. just hate to use the old private keys on one of these hard forks, because there are so many hard forks to claim out of which some of them can not be claimed yet. the whole system with claiming with private keys is too fragile in that way.
so, in short, create new wallet, send all btc over there.
on the third of january download ub wallet, use private keys of old wallet and see your UBTC balance... is that correct?
