We will see for BTCP but that's obviously true in general (and you should stop calling everybody ignorant I think)

I wrote:

--> as you can see BTCP is in there for some aspects right now

And Known/unknown dangers (replay protection collisions):

Other reasons why I made the tool... see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2827163.msg31401838#msg31401838 the fork team does not even understand where the problem is

Some parts in your blog post is total bs and true at the same time.

"Conclusion: stay away from those forks, if you can't refrain then use something like my tool to transact your coins"

Solution: Transfer your coins from snapshot wallet to new wallet, before exposing wallet private key to claim your new coins. It takes you 10s to create new wallet and 5s more to complete the transfer from old to new wallet. No need for your tool to be honest. But I agree with you, always be careful with forks and with private keys generally. Never trust another person just because they seem to be nice.
