Description
This guide should cover several different splitting options that we have seen recently:
1) Most important- how to split coins in the event of a fork with no replay protection ([reference](https://bitcointechtalk.com/how-to-protect-against-replay-attacks-7a00bd2fe52f))
2) Cover how you would have split coins for the Bitcoin Cash fork
3) Opt-in replay protection with [payment to known address](https://bitcointechtalk.com/how-segwit2x-replay-protection-works-1a5e41767103)
For first situation, the three approaches that should be covered:
- Replace by fee
- nLockTime
- Using miners coinbase tx

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked references and organize the guide around the three splitting situations named in the issue. Done means the guide explains no-replay-protection splitting with Replace by Fee, nLockTime, and a miners coinbase transaction, plus the Bitcoin Cash fork and opt-in payment-to-known-address approach.
