Today this B2X hard fork has launched: http://b2x-segwit.io

But they are not the same people behind Bitcoin Core , and there are just a bunch of exchanges that support that, and that suggests me this is not the official  fork.

So we are going to have 2 different Segwit2x currencies ?

And most important: if we have BTC on our local wallet, how can we claim these B2X ?
There seems not to be any info.

If Yobit and HitBTC were able to automatically give B2X to BTC holders today, we must be able to claim B2X manually by ourselves as well, as the
 claim procedure should be the same for anyone who has a private key.

Its not the SegWit2x fork which was going to take place in Nov mid. That was cancelled. This a scam coin.

Is it a scam? No.

Is it absolutely worthless like any other Bitcoin fork (other than BCC)? Yes.

Whoever buys into Bitcoin just to get Bitcoin Gold, Platinum, Silver, God etc. deserves to lose his money.

every fork you can said that  is scam! but it doesnot stop you earn the money!
just take care you risk！never all in  on a altcoin!

 Depends what do you mean by scam. Probably you will lose money on it,
but then it does't mean that it's a scam. It's just another fork and there will be
a lot more of them

This is the kind of coin that has minimal work put in and designed to make some pocket money for just the developers, who try to make it look like segwit x2 is back on.
Kind of scammy if you ask me.

If you have B2X then you can not sell them on the exchange, you can not send the coins on the exchange, the wallet do not work. These coins will always remain in your wallet.
Do you think this is a scam or not?

* this is abusing the name of another project with the same name which had a lot of support (SegWit2x) but has nothing to do with it => scam
* it has a huge premine hidden in the code but they are not transparent about it on their website nor their announcement page. this premine is not small either it is 6 million coins => scam

these two reasons are enough for it to be a scam.
there are other reason to stay away from it such as the fact that their code is rushed and it was released by simply copy pasting another project withing less than a week. there is no testing and no review over it. it may even have serious bugs which can lead to funds loss.

In my opinion, most forks are meaningless, and they are created only to cheat money, so I won't buy any forks, but will sell free forks. :D

don't pay attention to this "hardfork". it's just PR of new currency which can't cost anything. this coin will only be as a collection samples. this coin will present nothing valuable

any fork for me is a scam :) but enjoy the free money when there is always retards who buy everything

Yeah just seems like a cash grab imo

It might as well be a scam it is just another fork with no name or reputable people working on it.

Given that the fork has already happened, I hope some detailed guides are posted on exactly how to claim your B2X coins. I'm looking for something along the lines of a step-by-step guide similar to those available when BCH happened.

Scam or not, these hard fork coins are still "free money" for me and i'd like to dump them immediately on whichever exchange available to whomever crazy enough to buy them

There is a claim website but I am not putting my codes in until I find out if this is legit or not.

b2x-claim.io

It’s on their tweets. They haven’t replied in 10 hours. Disappointing.

People think that this is a scam just because this fork is made by other "unknown" developers, hope this hard fork will find more support in the community.

It is indeed

There is SegWit2x [Futures] traded on Yobit and HitBTC(which is not available now).
Is this futures relevant to the B2X fork which happened yesterday?

Nah. they just want another free money. All this fork right now has only one or two real intention to pump bitcoin or get free coins. That would accumulate millions of dollars if you are part of the team behind it , why would make too many forks ? Why not make an ultimate fork that could answer and sustain the congested blockchain of bitcoin and give lower fees ? Why these certain individuals really have to make too many forks to confuse people , these forks making bitcoin crazy with it's current volatility it's not good. that's why i prefer ath than those forks.

The process for claiming the forked coins is exactly the same as it was for BCH and BTG, the problem is finding a wallet that supports these new coins that you can trust. Freewallet and Zumminer are recommended on the official website but that's probably all part of the scam. Coinomi have said they don't have plans to support it and they have been the best go-to for collecting forked coins.

I think that all of forks of bitcoin is scams. We had only 1 icon Bitcoin and this is a our cyber gold!

Even if they're a scam there's still free money in it. Anyone who owns more than a few BTC during these forks stands to claim a reasonable amount of money from it, provided they do so securely. I did it with BCH, BTG and am just waiting for a wallet that I trust to do the same with B2X.

All of the forks are scams,the developers are using these forks just to make more money and nothing else.

Yesterday's B2X doesn't seem to be the same as last month's B2X, not the same team, so don't be fooled,

Where I can download wallet and get B2X from my bitcoin wallet with private key! I check and seaching on google! But no info about it at this times

Nope bro. When the time hard fork happens we find the new coin as well they helps bitcoin transaction time to faster than the time we already seeing it. Obviously as op said this is not the same segwit which is happen on last time on mid November.
This segwit team also have prominent things yo happen this time. Transaction speed gonna be a 4mb and it gonna works with the 11x algorithm encryption.

As i see many of you have 50 IQ!
How can you call every token/coin SCAM.
Now i knoW why.You are a poor 15 years old kids,with no future.
You guys wanna buy a coin from fork with 1 usd and sell for 20k. im sure that coin is not SCAM for you.
B2X is same b2x that you will receive from fork, with the correction 4Mb block.(2mb was on Nov.)
STOP CRY LIKE 15 years old KIDS.
SCAM SCAM SCAM

In my opinion all the forks that we had this year are just all scams, they are all just new altcoins that claim to be part of the bitcoin just to get a good name for them and to make it be successful and get a lot of people into them, and obviously the segwit2x is no different it claims to make bitcoin great and make transaction  time faster, but so as the other forks and all they did is bring the bitcoin down and divided the community, as fas claiming b2x it is still not supported by the online wallets such as coinbase or blockchain, but if you have your bitcoin on a wallet where you have access to your private keys than you will be able to claim them.
Block chain did support the segwit back in November but after it was canceled they didn't make any statment about this one, so that goes to show you how useless it is.

I mean it's nothing new in the cryptocurrency market. Forks, like new altcoins, can happen at every time due to the doing of some developers, maybe to serve their very own purposes or with the consideration of the many cryptocurrency users around the market, who knows. I think it holds the same water with B2X, it's something new that may not be impacting in the market, but you can't blame those who introduced it because maybe, they just want to make something for profit. Every coin in the market, including bitcoin, started from humble beginnings, so I don't think it's a scam, it's just a small-time player that has to apparent and major impact.

Finally 1 SMART guy.

I think hardfork is not a scam or legit problem, but it's a matter of whether or not an exchange support the hardfork. Not all exchange support hardfork, some exchange considering in terms of security and hardfork wallet resistance to minimize risk and loss.

It was cancelled few months ago,it looks like the fork news is just a FUD.

Yes that`s why they made a list of compatibility exchanges sites.

it was not the real coin it was just a coin scam, some exhcanger made a coin coin like that. actually it is not good but we can not cover that it often happens

I heard some people in the fork team are from bitcoin core team,who knows , scammer everywhere.
I am now tired of bitcoin forks , it reduce the value of bitcoin .

Yeah, it was not the real segwit2x everyone was looking for.

I really like B2X! i hope it will grown up in next times! I will hold BTC to receive 1:/1 B2X
Thansks your info!

I am a little concerned about bitcoin now. Don't know if these forks have affect on this.
It is unusual to see bitcoin decline while altcoins rise.
Bitcoin used to be the most stable one, it drops the least while altcoins dump a lot.

Soooo..... Can anyone tell us if this fork actually happened? Is there an active blockchain now? And if so are the coins claimable? We can all call it a scam but if the coins are there to be claimed then it's not a scam at all, and I want to access those things so I can sell them asap.

In fact, these two B2X are two different teams. I don't understand what the second team USES the B2X name for. I think it's just a scam.

Definately a scam. No exchange has publicly accepted it.

Lately there are too many divisions. Soon with such interest there will be a daily separation. Rather, it is no longer necessary to pay so much attention to what kind of forks.

Yeah I am pretty sure it's a scam because it's not from the same team as the original B2X, I heard it's a group of people from Ukraine who try to fork it. i am not going to touch this coin.

More like shit coin is suppose i just did hold some btc in yobit and the ratio is just 1:1 and current price at that time is .028 something so much dumping when the segwit2x goes online

Took this words from my mouth. The team is everything and that team looks like a group of people who wanna make their money on trustful people and recognizable name.

I pulled all of my altcoins into btc because of this hard fork but im seriously regretting it. The hard fork is not legitimate and it is not run by the same november segwit2x team. I am almost certain that this is just a scam

Although this Segwit2x canceled, it is required to do a upgrade to blockchain architecture of bitcoin to enable fast transactions and fast commissioning. Otherwise it is unable to use bitcoin as a payment method. It is must to do a hard fork for bitcoin for enabling real time payments 

I did the same thing.
I should have done decent research before doing so.
I don't know if this fork happened or not.
Nobody got their fork coin, right?

We still do not know who is Satoshi Nakamoto LOL

The crypto world is crazy and I like the craziness

It looks like a scam, the team involved has non-existent LinkedIn profiles. Their GitHub code has a 6mil premine which looks extremely fishy. Their code is copied from somewhere. It's just a bunch of people trying to earn money by using the original Segwit2x name. Better stay away from this.

This B2X is obviously a hoax, and this is obviously not the same thing as the B2X in November, this is a garbage.

Actually the future trading is quite high.  I hope it will not crash due to unknown developers.

THIS ^

We don't need forks now ( A.K.A. new currencies ), we need to FIX the original BTC blockchain , because the real VIP of the cryptocurrencies is Bitcoin, and not Litecoin nor Bitcoin Cash etc., so if BTC loses value/price due to transaction issues, then all the other cryptos would fall down.

The other cryptos reputation and value strongly depend on the original one, the pioneer, which is BTC.

So they should fix BTC, not create another currency.
Because the common people only heard about Bitcoin, not even Litecoin nor Ethereum.

But alas i guess the official team is just planning to create a separate currency/blockchain, not to fix Bitcoin.
Right?

The expected segwit didnt happened,there is not legit forks that will happen,seems like the developers are not interested anymore to the B2X project.

I think same

They just want another free money. All this fork right now has only one or two real intention to pump bitcoin or get free coins. That would accumulate millions of dollars if you are part of the team behind it , why would make too many forks ? Why not make an ultimate fork that could answer and sustain the congested block chain of bitcoin and give lower fees ? Why these certain individuals really have to make too many forks to confuse people , these forks making bitcoin crazy with it's current volatility it's not good.

The continuation of this fork is not done with the original team? Or is it?

Either way, I will probably get rid of my coins once I get the airdrop.

When are the exchanges (YoBit and HitBTC) becomes B2X deposit address available? I have some coins I got mining and I'd like to play trading with them.

this is a new kind of coin and i do not really think about it.

does anyone know any exchange you can send this to and trade with it? i cant seem to load it into yobit and hitbtc even though it looks like trades going on?

I dont know if its scam or not but i have joined its airdrop and didnt receive the coin yet as promised. So fingers crossed.

Hello adamhiggins82,

The trades going on at Yobit, are from the forked B2X balances that the people had of BTC at the time of the fork.
No one can get a DEPOSIT address yet, until Yobit makes it available.

Your mining B2X coins must be kept in your own wallet, or pool wallet, until the exchanges open deposits.

So if you had no BTC in Yobit at the time of the fork, you can't join in the trading just yet. :)

Regards,

I haven't heard about the fork of bitcoin recently. The fork of B2X is just a fake fork. It's not a fork of the original team. What's the use?

Use official website ONLY. http://b2x-segwit.io

For those who care about B2X, you might be interested in this article:
https://www.coindesk.com/suspended-not-abandoned-jeff-garzik-reworking-segwit2x-code/
It is not the one OP is talking about though.

Yep, kinda scam, too many controversial information about this coin(token, I dont know) to be uncouth, so this is only hype on the name and possibility for some person to get on exchange without paying fees. Nothing else to focus on

Thanks T-power hopefully i can sell soon, is it still worth mining it then would you say?
cheers

Yes ther is a scame group with the name b2x but the real SegWit2x is a real fork not a scam
Tha scame coin traded in etherdelta

many of those who want to make money fast, when they are for, they leave the job they are supposed to be doing. it's all because of money, lots of new project modes that I think are potentially a scam. from the clarity of website websites, whitepaper, they do not even have it.

the token on etherdelta his ex name is b2bx after cancel of segwit2x they rename it to b1x as i know and its not a scam

Too litle amount of exchanges supported it (Yobit and HitBTC from famous ones). It is just another shitfork of Bitcoin.

is there anywhere i can load up what i have now to sell that anyone knows of?

I am not aware of that.
I was thinking Etherdelta only support ERC20 tokens.
Since when did Etherdelta support bitcoin fork?

B2X has been dumped since the hype caused by the revival announcement.
We are now aware that the team behind this fork has nothing to do with the previous one.
If this team can deliver something wonderful, I won't call it a scam.

B2X is the Original chain of BTC and that is listed as BTC also, bitfinex is rhe largest bitcoin exchange in the world by trading volume.

so are you saying it can be sent somewhere now to be exchanged?

I don't think exchanges are going to list this, it's just a group of people with newbie accounts trying to claim to be the segwitx2 fork. This won't go far, unoriginal and just feels wrong.

It is probably the case.
The fork happened a long time ago, only listed on two exchanges.

Just understanding this, and if it's a scam. So you're saying if you had an offline SW wallet, no way to use your keys with their new wallet to trade coins? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of this thing?
Also of course there are hacking concerns, replays, etc... so not sure putting any private keys into this thing is safe.

It seems that the B2X has disappeared, I can't see the news about B2X, and the exchange is starting to take off B2X.

It stays where they are from the very beginning: no development, no meaning announcement, no new exchanges
All they have is their promise which is worth nothing now.

I do not believe that without the consent within the community this fork will be a success. Doesn't matter to me Scam or not. Without trust, I'm not going to invest their money. It seems to me that the biggest problem of the bitcoin community is lack of communication. Together we are a force capable of opposing the world government. But one by one all of us can be destroyed.

Bravo. That's a very good point and not only specific to Bitcoin.

The gov aims at dividing us , prevent us to be united and organized.
They are making us compete with each other, so even if we are numerically the same as if we were unite, we are much weaker.

Divide et impera

They know that saying very well.

Look... i was thinking about claiming my B2X by importing my private key into the Zumminer wallet, but it's not worth the struggle because i would have to move my BTC to another wallet first, and that costs money ( huge network fees ).

To have just a bunch of B2X that are worth almost nothing.

So it doesn't make sense even if they're given for free LOL 

If you want to Deposit and trade B2X, https://exrates.me exchange is open for Deposits and trading.
The price is low, so don't think its worth it at the moment though.

regards,
Tim

of corse its a scam

It is a scam from my perspective, unless its dev can deliver something valuable.
Although I did not buy it, I suffered huge loss from it.
 

BRO IT IS WORKING CHECK NOW IS NOT SCAM
https://exrates.me/dashboard
 U NEED TRADE ON THERE DONT LOCK YOBIT OR HITBTC
THEY BUY ON https://exrates.me/dashboard AND SELL ON THEY EXCHANGES JUST FOR THEY OWN AND WITH OVER PRICE......
