Bitcoin Forum

My friend just sent me this and said that Sewit2x is continuing the fork.
The website has an announcement  on their page. Is this true or a scam ?
https://bitcoin2x.org/

yeah heard this too, at this point I don't know who or what to believe. Group claims to have 30% of bitcoin hashrate  :o Either it happens Nov 15 or some other fork will soon follow or maybe Bitcoin cash draws people away from bitcoin. This thing is a mess, personally staying away from bitcoin until the dust settles or a huge dip. Way too centralized.

I still ain't believe first.
I'm still searching for the news about it.
When it's back or continue, it should be announced by the devs.

2 months ago: We have decided to fork!
1 day ago: we have decided not to fork!
today: we have decided to fork!

Make up your minds you assholes!
I bet it's a play to lower the price right now and it's working. People hate uncertainty and the feeling that their coins are being played with by a bunch of nerds that can't even agree whether they will or will not try to fuck it all up for everybody.

lol yeah man I started to believe that the whole thing is related to trading and making more money , I doubt that they even care about what 2x is promising to do
some whales were able to make a lot of money due the recent news , I guess the best and only thing we can do is to never give a damn about the news

so let's stop caring too much , at the end we can't change what they are planning to do ( as normal bitcoin users )

i think they are messing with bitcoin
im not sure they welling to rise it or decrease its price

why people intersted with new coins like BTG , 2x if you just keep hold btc will be better than take high risk with unknow coin

This fork is a joke, we can not take it seriously if they do not know what they are doing or what they want.
Anyway, even if fork happens, people do not trust anymore in this coin.

 think they are messing with bitcoin

That website talks about not letting a small group of individuals control Bitcoin but if you try to look for any of the developers behind bitcoin2x.org you wont find one.

You and your friends are complete tools that get played around by any news outlet and children that know how to host a website. Sheep are very intelligent beings in comparison.

Segwit2X is dead.

well i dont know if its still continue. well it does effect bitcoin value and there is no more pumping value anymore for bitcoin. i wonder whats going on

And don’t rest in peace SegwitX2

Someone wants to earn much more money. They manipulate the bitcoin system and get money. How they can not decide and change their minds... I really do not understand.

This is odd and can cause the Bitcoin market to be unstable. No one knows when to buy and sell and what to buy or sell. Uncertainty isn’t good for Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin will be fine in the long run, but it makes it hard to know what to do right now.

I’m just going to hold what I have right now. I’ve got some money in Bitcoins and also some in various altcoins. They all seem to be doing poorly right now except for BCH.

I don't understand what are they trying to prove, it's being purposely posted in such a way to drive back to price? Or it's just a type of trolling to show the public how easy it is to influence this crypto market, bitcoin just drop back to 6.7k and it's so hard to speculate what going to be in days. It's crazy to see SegWit2X to drive off and went back 80% just in matter of days (or hours). Guess i would just stay away from the forking drama it's so risky to stay here, guess ETH is the way to go for me now.

I'll believe it when the crypto media report on it.

Totally agree this fork is a mess regardless of whether or not this new info is true.

A migration to BCH would kill the Bitcoin brand.

A bunch of geeks claiming to possess 30% of the entire network mining power wants to continue the fork, while stats show that only 15% are signalling S2X. Something ain't right here fellas. Jihan Wu already withdrawn his miners in the said fork, and all I can see here are whales who bought their B2X futures to hopefully 'outsmart' the market forcing the fork to happen.

Well folks, carry on. Segwit2x is dead; its prominent devs and figures already bailed out and we're left with paperweight if in case the fork ever happens.

We just forked the website !
We didn't mean to fork Bitcoin, thats a lot of work ;)
Check back for updates
Bitcoin2x is a secure payment network with cheaper and faster transactions. Bitcoin2x is a website not bitcoin so it's your silly tension.

Perhaps this is the whale's way of doing things, tossing more information into the market to disturb the market and take money

yeap i am sure and agree with you @Luada sir, the Segwet2x is officially death. So no one can involve the fake or something like that news so that everyone can feel hesitate for your bullshit update.

Can they make up their minds, don't know what steps to take from here lol  ???

Lol on homepage they are saying that they have forked website but to fork bitcoin it require lots of work  ;D

Looks like they have just bought this domain and forked official homepage of bitcoin.org

There will be no forks for sure this year.

"they" made up their minds already and made an announcement through the mailing list and as you can see "they" which included miners are slowly stopping to signal NYA .

the link in OP is made by someone else. most probably someone who have invested in BC2 futures and lost a lot of money

Two path forks are so last month. What we need to do is to speed things up and have multi-path forks. four paths would be good for a start. That would give us four lines of coins instead of just two.

Yeah heard about it too but I don't really think that's true. And whether they decided to push through or not I don't mind. This drama is so tiring. Seems to me that they are playing people and the btc as well. I don't know what they really want to prove.

Two way forks are so a month ago. What we have to do is to speed things up and have multi-way forks. four ways would be useful for a begin. That would give us four lines of coins rather than only two.

I think investorts expected to see the Segwit2X result we will see after it happens but token already released at coinmarketcap as news said the process cancelled

it seems that this news will be very influential on bitcoin in the meantime. I wonder what will happen whether or not the news is preached or just an issue.

I want to believe market makers are behind this, they announced the fork when majority had sold their btc

As for the upcoming November fork, it was suspiciously very little information. It seems that as this bitcoin could independently separate. However, no one even talks about the name of the new coin. Therefore, perhaps, indeed, someone specifically creates confusion and earns big money on this.

almost everything is down except BCH, madness!

The big problem is to believe in the information, because it is a very dynamic market, but one thing is clear, an idea never dies
Social networks help a lot

Ethereum and Litecoin are down too guys. I'm worried that lame BCH will take over. It is up 40% and I can't figure out why. I'm really hoping it is a pump and dump. I hope that this is not the end for BTC. All the people I told that BCH sucks will now laugh in my face. Arghhh.

As for the bitcoin2x.org website, lol.

At the moment there is total confusion on the market and so many contradictory informations are coming from all sides. Probably with the only aim of market manipulation. This is probably the cause that price went down to 6400$. I’m not worried, the price will recover again but can’t see the point in all this mess. And BCH glory will not last for long, don’t run to buy it.

Guys we are all are being played - SegWit2x won't happen, and even if these lunatics will run their chain, who is gonna follow them?
The chain will be dead in no time, there is no danger here at all - the only problem I see is temporary PR problem.
As usual, most newbies and weak hands are reacting allergically to SegWit2x news, and even this small dip of uncertainty is making them sell off their coins.

the btc market is down-in my opinion pretty good time to buy more bitcoins ;)

Best moment to split bitcoin from investers perspective. All time high of bitcoin this week. People (including me) rushing to the crypthocoin market to not mis the train. Start dumping the coin and  the new people will drop there coins and loose lost of money. The investers will buy up the low valued bitcoin.

And again pump the bitcoin market and double win your investments. I wait until the big drop and start to invest in bitcoins for way lower price than the 7000+ we saw on the coinmarket this week.

READ THE WEBSITE LINKED PLEASE.

It says nothing about segwit2x, it's about a service that sounds like it and is a forked WEBSITE and says nothing about forking bitcoin. Why does everyone just get on the bandwagon and say the same things all over again.

People care because the price is changing due to the news and if you are holding bitcoin right now your holdings have lost value thanks to the news, there was not going to be a fork and if after a day the miners are stating there is in fact going to be a fork then it seems they are just playing with the price and obtaining benefits to themselves since they know full well what are they going to do, they are probably benefiting economically with this, so with this amount of uncertainty I think the best thing to do is to keep holding your coins and wait until things get a little bit clearer.

BTC 6600$. I guess it's correction? And another question. How many enthusiast (or scammers?) want to continue fork except BitPico?

You all made -ck angry :D What I like here is someone with 3 noob accounts posting to increase activity on the first page :D I would love to see millions of forks, Because idiots are greedy as well, They will buy blindly when they find out that someone is trying to do a fork like BCH.
Currently price is going down, It's not a correction, When you dump more than what the market demands, Price falls but when some people need a decentralized currency and have billions they will buy and will pump the price up again.

There is a crack in bitcoin community which is massively affecting the price of bitcoin, the stakeholders ought to have taken decisions from onset to cancel or allow SegWit2x to take place.
I am urging the stakeholders to come together a take decisive decision once for all for the progress of bitcoin.

Thought this fork was postponed indefintely?...its back on now?...If it solves a problem in the bitcoin blockchain then its a welcomed development

We think you can trust some announcement about the article about Segwit2x is continuing the fork but I read some article that segwit2x is cancel. We cannot say if true or not we can wait for their announcement about segwit2x. We can assure  if the development is going to fix the problem of blockchain .

Seems like the Segwit2x is really dead. I made a mistake in understanding it and thought it they are talking about forking Bitcoin.
LOL, they are just forking the website. Don't know their goals behind it but it's a good way to create a hype in the market.
There is a lot of FUD in the crypto market and this thing needs to settle down now.

This is another level of confusion being propagated by some individuals but looking at the website, it does not seems like the work of a professional just someone behind the screen playing with the minds of those who have been anxiously waiting for the SegWit fork but driven by the profit to make out of the bonus couple with the amount its being traded on the various exchange sites supporting it.

Guys, let's move on, this is a dead end and its not happening again. Concentration should be focused on BTC to reach a greater height.

stop looking for articles on shitposting news websites and comments by random idiots on the internet and s tart looking for things that matter. such as the support which SegWit2x has, the support from miners for instance is the easiest to check out. you can do it manually or using sites like coin.dance/blocks to see how many are still supporting it and then you can see just as expected the support has dwindled and is continuing to drop. and you can not fork bitcoin without hashing power of miners no matter who you  are.

Wishful thinking. They just scrapped their stupid idea earlier in the week. These moody SOB should be hanged for meddling with the traditionalist bitcoin lifestyle.

Yep, Lauda said it. It is dead. So you guys do not need to worry a thing. I think if we need to worry I guess if someone is making another proposal making the "real" bitcoin not good again. I think 4 times is enough, but I guess they will not stop.

Nope, it is not back, it is gone. Why do we need someone back if it is gone, right? Let's just face what will happen in the future and do not need to go back in the past. And we all know most of the fork are not for "solving the blockchain's problem" but is mostly for "greed".

OK.. so here is the confirmation. Despite so much publicity and initial support, the SegWit2X has died miserably. Now the scaling issue will persist until someone is able to find a solution. But without the consensus, there will be so "solution". SegWit2X was the best shot for a consensus, and now it is gone. Just hope that some solution will come up in 2018.

Exactly. I'm surprised people are bothering to speculate about this website at all. I could throw a meaningless site like that up in 30 minutes. It's clearly just a ploy to sow more confusion and anger with regard to the current network congestion (spam attacks) that conveniently coincide with the cancelled fork. Enter: Bitcoin Cash.

I suspect this may have been the plan all along: use Bitcoin's difficulty algorithm against us and starve us of hash rate, which coerces users into adopting Bitcoin Cash. It's pretty brilliant. Cobra (Core dev) is even talking about changing the POW algo soon. The FUD never ends!

Just like I have said in another thread, this is a well planned attack at the very beginning. Look at Bitcoin Cash sudden price increased, Roger Ver and his cohorts are pumping it real hard so that the community will think that is the real "Bitcoin".


They have put a lot of doubts in the bitcoin community, continuing to spread FUD. But we should used our common sense here. It's already postponed, no software upgrade, and its gonna be messy. Let's see how long this Bitcoin Cash price rise can be sustained.

I think it was just rumors to make bitcoin go up, and it proved he was up after the news circulated.
and now the bitcoin prices are starting to fall after knowing that it's just rumors

Why, FUDs don't end in this market. SEGwit2X has been suspended, not completely canceled. Bitcoin Cash movements are also remarkable, I can not understand  ::)

I don't believe this. Be clear thinking. Bitcoin has now become a business field in trading, every some news that creates opinions to make panic condition, market react can be different, even so prices will fall, but good damn this method is still works. many people can easily falling into this. After all bitcoin are volatile, isn't! so why need to worry.

It's the same fake news like with JPMorgan officially saying that BTC is scam and bubble.
Rumours are, at the same time, JPMorgan bought 9000+ BTC ....

You mean...  JPMorgan is not trustworthy..?! If even the big financials are not even trustworthy anymore.. ;D

still can not be trusted unless there is official news
what does not go
if tuk now still lom believe
with the issue issues

Yes segwit is continuing the fork at this point I don't know who or what to believe. Group claims to have 30% of bitcoin hashrate  Shocked Either it happens Nov 15 or some other fork will soon follow or maybe Bitcoin cash draws people away from bitcoin. This thing is a mess, personally staying away from bitcoin until the dust settles or a huge dip. Way too centralized. It would be helpful to learn how to use bitcoin.

They are trying to come back with big plans and introduce a hard fork because they know well that pushing bitcoin down is not easy enough, it has been on the top and still is on the top among all the crypto currencies, but i think it won't affect bitcoin much, only its price will fall slight and will boast again to a very high  level. Bitcoin will lead all other regular currencies in future and will be legalized by many countries.

It seems to me that the continuation segwit2x this rumor. Probably developers do not want to provoke the same effect as we saw with the attack of the miners. Maybe now the developers will make changes to prevent the monopoly of large pools of miners. Then the transition will be easier.
