What is a hard fork?

A hard fork is just a scary name for a protocol upgrade. It means that the bitcoin protocol will be extended to handle more transactions. This will mean faster confirmation times and cheaper transactions when you use bitcoin. If you use Blockchain.info, a web wallet or a mobile wallet; you will be safe. You probably don't need to upgrade anything.
