Is increasing the block size from 1 MB to 2 MB is a good thing for bitcoin? Why are some people against it?
i am not sure if it is good or bad in general but i can say with certainty that it is bad if it happens this soon. there needs to be more time before a hard fork like this to increase block size.
i hope someone else can give a more detailed answer about this and also adds a link to some article that we can read bitcoin core deves have to say about why they have rejected it.
When segwit 2x implements on November what will happen with Legacy addresses and coins can they still be used in same chain or segwit 2x will produce yet another alt coin (hard fork imply that)?
if the fork happens for real, it will be backward compatible like any other fork which means all the old addresses and balances will still remain valid.
it is too soon to say how the fork result will be in my opinion because of the type of support it has (a huge miner support and a rather big business support but no core dev support and little community support)
What will be "real (the one which is today is accepted by bitpay and others)" BTC legacy one or Segwit 2x.
Bitpay and other businesses will go with the most secure chain with the highest hashrate.
it may be SegWit2x. i hope this doesn't happen!
I find pretty bad that we must transfer all our funds to Segwith adress as fees are pretty high and confirmation time is even worse....
if you are not in a rush to spend then wait a little while until mempool is more empty.
Also will segwit be compatible with segwit 2x?
it is the same "SegWit" but the chains with 1 MB and 2 MB will not be compatible and it will be another hard fork creating a new chain.
I tried to find an answer but all i found where some partial one.
