The current state of replay protection for 2X is:
They are discussing making a pre-prepared transaction in the forking block  (so its only on the B2X chain) this block will then be used like a dust fountain (or faucet) spewing out tiny bits of B2X chain dust on request. Once you have mixed this dust with your coins they can easily be split, as the TX can't be replayed on the existing chain.

Of course this is not proper replay protection, they don't want that because they would need to get everyone to install new (SPV) wallets.
They are hoping to fool these newbies into moving to their 2X chain without them even knowing.
Talk about dishonest....

People here maybe don't want to admit their fears, but @anonymint is making some headway on what might happen: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2259054.0
note that 2x fork is irrelevant, or a mere blip to his theory

there's lots of impressive words and even more impressive supposition. who is anyone to know who 'whales' are and what their intentions are? and what's with the ongoing fear and deification of this popescu guy? as far as i can tell he's an unpleasant writer who owns a few thousand coins.

things have moved on. the people who might have had majority influence once upon a time are now sidelined and yesterday's men.

iirc you said sth similar before.
yet even luke-jr sees it, or at least some of it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/74fvvx/unpopular_solution_agree_to_2mb_hf_written_by/dnyd6ml/
the rest of it is in the publicly available logs and published accounts of mpex

I hope the CoreCoin drop will be worth something. A slightly inferior coin with 1 miner controlling 80% of the hashing power doesn't sound too tasty.

Don't you have some altcrash forum to troll in?

Why so touchy? It won't affect BTC. But we'll all be CoreCoin hodlers, so it would be nice to hear some thoughts. Dump immediately or wait for some vanity rally, like with ETC?

I will dump whatever alt should come out of a fork a.s.a.p. I did it with Bcash and it paid out handsomely.

I held on to Bitcoin Cash, just in case. I might consider it with CoreCoin too, but I don't really see the point. Its strongest card is its devs, but they clearly have a problem with cooperating with the community. Also, who knows who will stay when shit hits the fan. Some of them are flexible and have worked with alts, so they might just shift focus entirely.

You are really on a nonsense streak today... more than usual.   

Maybe. We'll see.

With (not-so-well)hidden agenda that 2X coins could easily be replay protected, and thus more secure. Read: more attractive to the average Joe. We need something similar for real Bitcoin, unfortunately nobody gives a damn.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Not much change other than Sunday's beartrap finishing closing... currently $5684USD/$7123CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

AltCash also flat... currently $314USD/$393CAD (Coinmarketcap).

We're pretty much where we were after the dust settled after spectacular Thursday. I'll consider this to be a half week of consolidation so far.

Maybe soon we can see some new ATHs.

This is very deja vu for me.

He ran an exchange. Probably shorted the Gox collapse. If he was sitting on a hundred thousand coins I wouldn't be surprised.

The site was compromised. BMB's email is probably on a list on a DNM for sale somewhere. BMB probably has many enemies.

Eh, what difference does it make when companies like Equifax get hacked?
