Title: Did Segwit2x happen (as per Coinbase email)? How to get Bitcoin2x?
Post by: jackhulk on November 17, 2017, 11:01:10 AM
Hi

At 2:47am today I received an email from Coinbase advising fork may still happen at 2am (yeah I received it 47 minutes too late!). You can read that email on their blog here...

So did the fork happen?

I purchased my first Bitcoin last month and anticipating the fork I was going to move all my Bitcoin onto Coinbase to get the Bitcoin2x as that seemed like the easiest way, although this goes against everything I read about keeping Bitcoin on exchanges. Then I read that the fork was cancelled and so my Bitcoin remained as it was.

I hold most in Electrum wallet and some in Kraken. If the fork happened and there is support for it, how can I get the Bitcoin2x (if at all possible) please?

Thank you
