Last September I wrote After the Core/Knots Hard Fork... Which version will you run and why?

From my post #1205451

"Which is why I believe we will see an arbitrary-data hard fork in the next year, probably resulting in 2 separate chains..."

I posted this on September 3rd, 2025 in other words within two days of the formal activation date of the next hard fork, September 1st 2026, probably transforming the "Knots" software into its own separate chain through a consensus disagreement.

And before you say "oh but it's just a soft-fork" it's "a tightening of the consensus rules therefore a soft fork..."

Right, well that's like saying it's not a divorce it's just a 'disagreement' because we no longer live together, we live in separate houses by separate rules, and your money and transactions I think are invalid so you can't make them I think they "aren't real..."

But we're still "together."

OK

So having said that (and people are FREE to run whatever software they want and spend their hard-earned money on whatever tokens they want...)

How do I sell my fork-coins either of them without inadvertently exposing the other coins on the other chain? I see the influencers are really really pushing "run Knots" and that's their right - people can run whatever node they want to...

My understanding is that spending a coin on one chain could expose the private key of the other coin on the other chain, compromising its security. If this is true, how is this prevented or mitigated?

How do you sell some UTXOs safely on the chain you don't want, and keep the UTXOs on the chain you do? I haven't seen this emphasized anywhere else, and I thought it should be... so the PLEBS can be safe.

Thank you!

There are plenty of how-to articles from back in the BCH/BTC split in 2017

I'll check them out thank you
Edit: what would I even search for? "Spend fork coins"
"How to send fork coins?"
