You are correct and I asked them this question myself and was expecting some type of
half answer or no answer at all.

They are very happy not to have any of the dev team from the old Segwit team abroad and
i got the impression that they were seen as sell outs.

Ten out of ten for honesty I gave them after that and also note how fees went up as soon as
the last attempt got postponed and if the dev team behind BTC cannot write a line of code that
says

Public CONST Money MAXFee=10.00;

Then how on earth can they even attempt to fix 3 hour transactions time or the
CPU War created by mining

Coinbase is no go, they use a pool account (possible fake coins) and I would go for downloading the Jaxx wallet so you
own the private key but its not the safest in the world and you need to get into gear because transaction speeds are
getting slower.

See BitcoinInfo if the thought of a private wallet puts you off or see Youtube and see how easy it is too have your own
money in your own pocket when it comes to Jaxx and good luck friend because I think we might all be swimming soon

No it is not or can you name me another coin or another time when transaction fees were anything close to $20 never mind
$50 ?

What we are starting to see reminds me of a "Lock In" and slow speeds on this "Digital Money" suggests to me
that the wheels are wobbling and are about to fall off so I am well ready to jump to the Segwit ship  and i would
suggest to you that you at least put a life jacket on because I cannot see this ending well myself

Slow transaction times and crazy transactions fees on BTC has lead to this fork and I for one
have started to fear a lock-in and not the sort you get at the local bar so they now risk the public
not arriving in the numbers they wanted and news about these mega high fees is starting to
reach the public and for all we know they could soon be over $100

I will mine for free if my simple Intel I7 can be of any use for Segwit2x because I don't
like bankers and that's what brought me here in the first place

Yes i must agree, best answer so far.

Crazy (By the balls) BTC transaction fee could well eat up you gains and by my calculations today you need
to move at least $350 worth to make a gain but B2X stands a chance of going up and these $40-50-60 BTC
fees could well far exceed $100 if they try locking us in which is starting to look like the case.

The trust is gone for me and they can save the "Lightning Network" banter after I watched this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYHFrf5ci_g
Yes that's "Banksters" with a capital "B"

Yes agree 100% but if that's the game the miners on BTC want to play then hanging around for fees to hit $100 or more
is like waiting for the mafia to lock you in at the casino so best head towards the door now.

The Segwit casino (it is all gambling you know) suddenly looks a lot safer and i tend to trust my gut feeling as much as
my well crafted computer like logic that comes from programming systems like they one I find myself playing in   

Yes it cost me about $5 more to get my coins out from Coinbase and into my private wallet than I think I will make from Segwit2x
but I will not let Coinbase decide if they need to give me my free gift or not and this "$50 or $60 worth of those coins"
could rise to $100 so who's LMAO if that happens

"he is trying to get as much money as he can from this shitty fork"

Who is "He" and with BTC fees and slow speed what makes the new fork shitty ?

Having a car is no good if the motorway does not work is it now and when you say trust me, well if your a miner, well I don't
and can you not see how your fighting a CPU army's race and the only ones getting rich are the hardware corporations and
banksters. 

p.s I stack ETH too but want to see contracts as being more than just bean counters that charge "Gas" for storing bytes and
they needed to lets contracts kick out to the outside world and not just other contracts that charge more "Gas"

It was a shock about Bitcoin cash being released by Coinbase and they owe me some Bit-Gold but this time I was ready for them
and moved my coins out onto a Jaxx wallet that's very easy to use but its not the safest in the world

I had done the calculations and by my book unless you have more than about $400 in BTC then the stupid high
transaction fee will eat up more than you will make by moving your coins just to get your free Segwit2X but on
principle i moved my last bit of BTC out from Coinbase and hope to see B2X going up so cover my slight loss on
the move.

Got no trust in BTC miners, do not try holding me by the balls because it won't end well

Naw it's not easy to see everything on the index page with so many bum patting posts about how BTC is the best, going to the moon
, it's about to be fixed and someone keeps pumping up old comments since you mentioned it.

Tell me why do you fear this fork or will it be eating into the mining fees you have been charging or does the thought
that the price might drop upset you because from my end it looks just like a free gift but your anger seem quite telling to me.

Please tell me that your not a miner or punter and your part of the programming team in "Bit Core" because I would
love a chat with you

How does this process work and do you have to give the exchange your public key to prove that you own the coins
on the block-chain at the time of the fork ? Public keys change when you spend so that's not going to work.

I bet some of these exchanges are out to charge a fee at the very least

Anyone who owns coins that are on the block-chain at the time of the fork on the 28th will get B2X at the
amount of 1:1 just like happened in the previous forks regardless of were they purchased them from including
GDAX so long as they own the private key (Not Coinbase wallet) and if GDAX will not trade B2X in a few weeks
time then other places will.

Coinbase/GDAX will obey the markets and so will the miners in BTC who have been taking the biscuit
and they are not needed to claim your free B2X

Looks like the casino manager was also doing a bit of mining and is bitter but maybe he should ask himself
how can punters play his slot machines if it costs them $25-$55 just to transfer $20 to play his slot machines   

You are in luck you found the right man who can point you in the right direction

Don't forget to have your coins on the block so you can profit from the Segwit2x fork on the 28th
and pay no attention to miners posting here that know that the jig is just about up.

Viva le Market

The consensus is that miners have been ripping us off in transactions fees and slow to stop service speeds
so I am happy you grasp the concept and won't take it personal as we put our coats on and head in an
orderly fashion towards the doors

Now be a good chap and fetch me another beer will you now 

The block-chain allows the balance for each wallet to be calculated more or less for any given time or date
so you will still get your free B2X on the balance for the fork date/time even if you sold them all the next day.

My you are eager to get out but i would wait a few hours instead of rushing for the door or you might start
a stamped before i get out, only joking, no need to panic I don't think but who knows and if transactions fees
hit $100 then the event will be written in our history books and the public won't go near BTC with a barge poll
after that.

Nice try, work in mining do you by any chance.

Like past forks they have told us the block number when the snapshot will be taken but they
cannot give us the exact time on the 28th when this block will be mined.

You can look this fact up yourself

Don't worry i won't get out on the 29th and sell my BTC or even the first week in January
because my trust has been broken due to miners greed but lets just say the die is cast already  

No point upgrading any hardware of the 20,000 full nodes because we already have 100 X more horse power
than we need so we waste it with PoW and CPU war when mining so you must be talking about a software
upgrade which has already been planned and is called "Lightning Network" and is being tested but BTC had
been tested for six years and look at the mess we are in today.

Lightning is a move towards banking and uses channels and centralized hubs but it's really a means
to extend lines of credit, it's what banks do when not burning energy with the CPU war that has been created
as an Easter Egg in BTC

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYHFrf5ci_g if you want an education
instead of playing slot machines and hoping your luck last out for the next round

 

You sir are bang on the money.

I just brought about $250 in BTC and then moved it out of Coinbase account and into my Jaxx wallet
and this was a lot of effort but i had already done my sums and it turns out that i would get about
$15.00 worth of extra coins in B2X wallet at today's 15:1  BTC/B2X Ratio but had to pay greedy bastard
BTC miners $25 in transaction fees.

Now tell me sir do you think that I would do this if I didn't think that B2X was going to go up between
the 28th and the release data.

The public have not arrived yet but when they do and see BTC at $10,000 (I will be out by then) and
B2X at say $2,000 and then look at the transaction fees then can you guess which one they will be
buying into and thinking it's cheap if ETH or BCH does not turn them on

OK you risk sharing the key with them and this is just what I thought Coinbase was doing and Coinbase even give you
the public key to maintain the illusion but when you check the public address in the block-chain you then realize it's a
scam and the coins come from a pool account and for all we know they are fake.

I love the API's blockchain.info offers to developers so yes your plan sounds right to me and I think they can
be trusted unlike Coinbase who even scammed me out of the $10 joining fee, keep away from them, bad news

Ethereum smart contracts are just a way for ETH miners to make profit and are little more than bean counters
that charge gas down to the byte level for storing any data you like on a block-chain.

My guess is that it's just a placeholder in the map for Segwit hosting services that can be mass deployed to servers/miners
so they can perform some productive work instead of whats happening now where BTC miners rev up the engine without
putting the car in gear and call it PoW because they have no real productive work to do.

I have some ETH and can send small amounts in seconds without paying $25-$55 to miners and have done
lots of research instead of being a slot machine boy and did manage to find just the ICO i was looking for but
it had already sold out (Get a load of this) in 22 seconds so lets not fight over the left over bones that the
bankers throw us from time to time

Yes it was and it was in the white paper from that guy that has gone walk about from Japan and it also said
"Near virtually free transaction costs" too and talked about having no inflation but each fork will
double the money supply and that's something called inflation.

Being a software engineer I can understand why it won't scale because all the full nodes need
to hold a full copy of the ledger and then they have to use a link list to go back down the chain
to verify the history of each part coin in a wallet during a transaction and that is plain stupid once
the data gets big. PoW is another stupid joke designed to make power companies (Big Oil) rich
plus keep hardware manufactures in profit with the CPU wars they have created with mining. 

Please do not make excuses for the current state of affairs because it was planned all along, Easter egg
in plain site it was and I hope the new kids on the block get to fix it.
