the users will keep using the old wallet file from bitcoin ?
questions like that I cant understand.
If you copy bitcoin 1 to 1 you just have bitcoin Tongue, if you don't change the code, its still bitcoin no matter how many times you copy it.
You should just change address formula for example to start from 9 instead 1 or 3 and now you need to modify client for it and people need to use that ur new client etc Tongue
Deep technical knowledge is needed here to understand what you are doing. Its above my head a little bit, but if im interested enough i would dig into it.

many thanks man, u kinda clarify me, I have knowledge in cloning coins and starting new chains, I was trying understand how can I do this.

when u said: change address formula   for example to start from 9 instead 1 or 3,

u mean the wallet address right?

I am trying understand how a new chain is created and the users still holding the same ammount running in a diferent blockchain as I need the btc blockchain to make it possible, understand?
