Thanks for the stackexchange link. Just started reading it, will take time to digest.
I'm getting ready to send some xmr to an exchange. In the event that I decide to claim the monerov later, are there precautions I need to take now with this transaction? My initial impression is that I can go ahead and make the transaction, and that if I need to deal with print_ring and so forth, that comes later.
The is a very important precaution that you need to take now. When you spend your XMR You need to make use of the mitigation I quoted above in order to ensure that the fake outputs used by a pre fork output are all before the fork, since only pre fork outputs can be identical on both chains.
Edit: It is also best if the XMR spends to empty the wallet, be to a wallet you control, and then from that wallet make a spend to a third party such as an exchange.
