This is a great post. I've been wondering exactly what to do as the fork draws closer, but you've laid it all out.

If the coin is in cold storage, when and how will the forked coins show up? Will it be in an exchange, when you activate the one(s) in cold storage? If I go to bitcoin.com after the fork, will the Segwit2x coins be visible there, tied to the ID number of my Btc perhaps?
