Here is a quick guide on how to store your Zclassic on your computer.
If exchanges don't announce support for Bitcoin Private in the next week, everyone will need to do this.

Prerequisites:
Install Java on your computer if you don't already have it.
Go to Java.com and download/install:

10: Now to backup your Wallet file.
Go to the following folder: (Copy/Paste the next line and click enter)
%appdata%/zclassic

Copy your wallet.dat file onto the flash drive
You will want to store this flash drive away from your desktop.

11: wait for the wallet to finish syncing, this will take a few hours:

12: Once your wallet finishes syncing you can Send your Zclassic from an Exchange to your T Address.

Transfer a small amount of Zclassic first to make sure everything is working correctly.

13: After the snapshot is taken on February 28th, you can send your Zclassic back to an exchange, or keep it. (I'll be selling mine)

Keep your Zclassic private key safe, you will need it 2 days later to claim your Bitcoin Private.
