Any ideas how to best prepare for the next fork (which will probably be our own)?
Pls don't say Litecoin.

Just move your coins to addresses where you control the private keys and hope it gets sorted out. If neither Core nor btc1 are going to do adequate replay protection, it might get really messy. However, BU has been around for quite some time, and someone could have attempted a hard fork with that software, but no one did. Let's hope that no one will dare execute btc1 hard fork, and we will just have to deal with the scaling squabble for many months, if not years to come.
BU was most of the time below 40% hashrate. Segwit2x is over 90%.
Just because they signaled it doesn't mean they are actually going to run the software when the time comes to pick sidea. I don't even believe many were running btc1 to enforce BIP91. Everyone just went along. Thank goodness.
They don't need to run btc1. It's just a simple patch to core code.
They don't need to keep signaling anymore. If they keep doing it, it needs to be interpreted as their intention to follow on with the agreement. In this case with the 2x part of it.
It's not because they "signaled" it... it is because the keep signaling it now.
What other interpretation would be possible for their signaling now?
