(Side note: please read this thread if you’re doing that! If you don’t do the steps in the correct order your ZEC may be at risk !)

If you are new, please don’t follow these instructions. Please follow these ones I posed and the ones @hloo is about to post on this blog.

This is essential if you intend run a full node and intend to reuse your zcash keys. My post is the correct order to do things. (not correcting you zooko, you suggest the right thing on your timeline, it is just I have put it in an newbie friendly and easy to follow format.) [I have no association with yec or zec, and currently no financial interest until after the fork]

@zooko

So, I propose that we run a Coin Holder’s Straw Poll by having people signmessage things using their Zcash spending key from Zcash block 570,000. Note that it is possible to run signmessage to do this after you’ve moved your ZEC out of that spending key

Really cool idea. I will not be able to participate due to personal conflicts of interest, and my moral objections (I have no moral objections to YEC and will mine it after it is launched - I have a problem with chainforks when the chain is over a certain size). I will not be claiming any YEC.

I have put my voice below. fwiw.

Good luck with you poll though. (and thanks for putting the link to heartwood. It is objectively the best name (like tardigrades was, I mean c’mon zebras?)
