Title: Were can I find a truly valid bitcoin wallet client for Segwit2x fork?
Post by: baskice on October 18, 2017, 04:51:58 AM
It seems that everyone assuming that the 2x branch will die soon, & there is no need to split coins at all?

Ehm ... what do you want? Dump 'em fast? (Could be a good idea, but watch the hashrate carefully!)

The official Segwit2x client is this one:

https://github.com/btc1/bitcoin

I'm however a bit surprised that there is no real website for the Segwit2x project yet. That could be an indication that Segwit2x isn't top priority anymore for the NYA signers (there is speculation that the "big blockers" among them will change to Bitcoin Cash instead) and it's likely the fork will fail.

It would be more prudent not to make any transactions until everything is stable after the hard fork. We do not know for how long, but keep all your Bitcoins in a wallet for at least 1 month to be safe.

Rushing to dump B2X for maximum profit is a risk as all your transaction could be replayed in the original chain.

I think this is a good advise to heed on. Just  do nothing as there are no official announcement yet. For me some of my bitcoin was left on the exchange and some are converted to fiat already. There are also some that invest in altcoins but if you want it to be in bitcoin, just leave it.

This is a great concern actually but now its not even sure that the fork will happen which I expect that the moment it is confirmed that its going to happen, the issue of replay of original chain would have been settled. Waiting one month before acting could mean a lot of loss for someone who is bent on making the maximum profit which is dependent largely on timing and if missed, it might be difficult to get it back.
