could you clarify a couple of things you said here for me:
Looking at the track record of Segwit2x developers, I would not be amazed if something huge gets exploited if it succeeds.
SegWit2x (
btc1) and bitcoin (
bitcoin) share many contributors. replace the author with the names of those contributed to first one. it also has J. Garzik who has been a bitcoin core developer for many years.
developers aside, the code is the clone of bitcoin core version 13 which had SegWit and it is activating the same SegWit.
are you saying SegWit code is flawed and exploitable or bitcoin core version 13 is . and note that the part about "2x" or the 2 MB hard fork is not for 6 months after the activation of SegWit...
The UASF solution seem to have more solid developers, but it lacks the miner support.
an who are these more solid developers? I have so far seen no good plan for BIP148 except a rushed crappy plan with an extremely high risk of chain split. and
I have seen only one developer support it passionately on reddit. no other person than LukeJr!
other developers are either against it or have not said much.I remember reading the early days what Gmaxwell said in the mailing list about how he is not supporting it and how it is rushed compered to original SegWit plan.
If Segwit2x succeeds, we will see everything dominated by miner decisions and if you look at the way that they exploited users with high fees, then the future does not look too bright.
how come?!!
it is still the same SegWit with only a future plan to do a hard fork to increase the base block size to 2 MB
and what does the "spam attack" have anything to do with SegWit?
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Segwit_supportSpam attack has nothing to do with Segwit, but everything to do with pushing Segwit2x. There is Schnorr signature to prevent such attacks,
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnorr_signature, who cares when miners are manipulating the network fee with incentivized spamming (their cost of spamming is lesser than the fees pocketed through a highly congested bitcoin network)
