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?
yes. but for me my seed is stored in numerous places and written down manually. redoing all of that is going to be a pain in the ass. i'll see if ub is worth anything before doing that.
