The Chinese Bitcoin Roundtable Forum has released a statement supporting SegWit2X, a project to provide a minimal patch that could resolve the conflict over activating SegWit and increasing the block size to allow faster bitcoin transactions on the bitcoin blockchain.

The forum wants to implement the special currency New York consensus expansion program resolution.

Resolution Released

In order to solve the bitcoin network congestion, the forum resolved to accelerate the expansion of bitcoin.

 The meeting on June 15 in Chengdu resolved to do the following:

- Support the New York Consensus SetWit2x program.
- On Monday, June 19, vote to support the program. To avoid using the BIP9 vote to influence the official vote, the gathering will write “NYA” in Coinbase on behalf of the vote.
- Immediately start the New York consensus SegWit2x program 1BTC software test and join testnet5, and release the official version as soon as possible after the release.
- Activate the New York Consensus SegWit2 by July 31.
