Earlier this week, an irrevocably fork occurred in the test network Segwit2x, as a result of which the creation of new blocks stopped for almost 20 hours.

The proposal scalability of bitcoin Segwit2x has taken at a closed meeting of a number of industry representatives in may of this year. The protocol provides for the activation of Segregated Witness with the support of 80% of the miners hash and the subsequent hardfork, that increase the block size to 2Mb.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

"It can, however, expected that the part of the community that opposes Segwit2x will not miss the opportunity to call it an exhaustive proof that the programmers working on the solution do not meet the requirements necessary to be responsible for developing software for the multi-billion bitcoin industry"

I agree

This will be another reason to increase the tension that exists in this conflict that already takes years
