i don't get his. on the exchanges it says the coin is worth $110

It's still $110 too expensive for this scam.

Bitcoin SegWit2X Team is Launching its Own Cryptowallet
Since the hard fork went successfully, we decided to make the life of our followers and supporters even easier and introduce Bitcoin SegWit2X wallet. It is based on Bitcoin Core wallet. One of the biggest advantages is that our fork is almost ideal, we eliminated the errors other Bitcoin forks had. The desktop version of B2X cryptowallet is available now.
Enjoy the new ideal Bitcoin – B2X, and stay tuned for the latest news from our team!

Download wallet on our site https://b2x-segwit.io

How long will you play this game?

You eliminate nothing. You don't even have a developer.

Made an account just to tell you how wrong you are.  You're making yourself look like an idiot.  Mining B2X right now.  Pools are working.

But even if you were able to mine this scam, where do you want to sell it? On Yobit it's still only available on the futures market. You can't even have a deposit address for this "coin" there, so where do you transfer any coin?

fukin' idiots, who sell coins! I hold and you just spoil the price!! Stop sell! Wait for a little!

It won't go up again if you ask me. It's getting more and more obvious this was a fake fork by some scammers.

I still see people buying this on yobit. It's unbelievable.

It's never been easier to scam people.

Put the label "blockchain", "bitcoin" or "fork" on any bullshit and people are willing to give you free money.

Some people need to lose money first before they will learn to be more careful where to invest in.

If someone really bought this obvious scam from some criminals in the Ukraine, this person deserves it.

Too much greed turns the mind off.

what wallets of your partners? Yobit and HitBTC wallets? you fucking serious?

There is no wallet, not even on Yobit. There will probably never be one because it is just scam. Still funny to see Jaap Terlouw cannot even answer simple questions about a wallet. He obviously doesn't even know the difference between a mining pool and a node though.

I wonder how much money she will get from Jaap for playing this game.

That must be the offline code feature.  Grin

Can you please tell me what's the second telegram channel? On their website I see only 2 telegram links: Seg_wit2X, which is read-only, and Segwit2Xfork, which is private and not accessible:



This might answer your question:

the admins disappeared from both their telegram channels

I wouldn't be surprised if we will never hear anything again from them.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SegWit2X] Together we will see a business through. on: December 28, 2017, 09:04:59 PM
You also forgot, delete any message that questions the coin.

Exactly. I hope the template is complete now and an useful tool for any other scammer who still needs to earn a lot of money easily.

What did they do?
  • They set up a nice website and uploaded a video with a rocket to the moon
  • Set up a github repo with code they have copied from another repo
  • Adding their scam code and a few lines of irrelevant name changing
  • Ask some exchanges to add their scam coin
  • Make a lot of money selling their premined coins

  • Write prepaid articles in press, such as lenta.ru, forklog, forbes, and so on, imposting themself as an original segwit2x.

You are right. I've added this to my template as a helpful guide for future fake fork scammers.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][SegWit2X] Together we will see a business through. on: December 28, 2017, 08:36:06 PM
Do they use a different wallet source? Huh
Judging by the addrs mining on their pool, they use a regular BTC wallet. What transactions are they mining? Ha ha. Take a guess.

It's really alarming to see that there are actually people out there who pay $400 (!) for this obvious scam. They might have bought some of the 6 million premined coins from Jaap Turlouw.

I've even seen some "trading experts" on youtube and twitter who told people to sell their altcoins for bitcoin in order to get these "free coins". Is it really that easy to manipulate the market by some criminals from the Ukraine?

What did they do? (Template for future scammers)
  • Set up a nice website and upload a video with a rocket to the moon. Add some random people to your "team"
  • Write prepaid articles in press, such as lenta.ru, forklog, forbes, and so on, imposting themself as an original segwit2x.
  • Ignore or delete any technical questions about the coin. (You can't answer them anyway because you don't have someone in your "team" who knows much about blockchain technology)
  • Set up a github repo with code you copied from another repo
  • Add some scam code that gives you free premined coins. Additionally you can add a few lines of irrelevant code such as changing some names. (Most people won't verify what's in the repo anyway. It would take too much time for them as they are here for the quick money.)
  • Ask some exchanges to add your scam coin. They won't say no as they will also earn money with your scam.
  • Finally: Make a lot of money by selling your premined coins

I never expected defrauding people will be that easy. This will definitely not be the last fake fork. A lot of other "teams" will try the same thing and I'm sure it will work.

You've been scammed. Congratulations.
Jaap Terlouw is sitting at home laughing about your stupidity and naivety.

How have we been scammed? It is a fork, in the sense that the only people who could have been scammed, are the ones buying the futures right?

I was referring to this guy who was trying to get their code from github running. The "team" knows nothing about blockchain technology at all. They couldn't even answer some simple questions about the technology here in this thread.

This scam has shaken my belief in crypto currencies.

I still can't believe that so many people believe in an obvious fraud so easily. This is the danger of the current hype about crypto currencies. There are more and more people who just want to make the quick money without even knowing anything about the basics. The fraud is so obvious if you check the their github repo.

Scam like this will be a major threat to Bitcoin in the future and a big danger for the trust in crypto as a whole. Why did so many people still believe in this scam? Are some people really that stupid?
