Segwit2x Dec 28th

[omedian]

Hope this time it's not a fake news and we will see this hard fork.

[Anti-Cen]

It looks to be back on ! Is this correct or just false news. I would have thought the cypto community would have known about this well before Christmas.

Is this legit? If yes, then what should we do? do we have to do some things like what we did on recent fork( it is last august i think)


i have questions :
what does fork do to bitcoin? Does it have an effect on bitcoin so forks are needed? please someone answer my question and enlighten me.

on the 28th the BTC database is replicate, copy is taken so if you have BTC in the block-chain and on your own private wallet
where you own the private keep then you have a right to get B2X in a few weeks time

Do not let Coinbase deal with this for you because one you will have to wait a long time to get them if they
even give them to you and don't run off with them themselves

Hope this helps

I haven't heard that on December 28 we are waiting for changes, but will be adopted segwit2x or not is not important. The main thing that such changes are necessary. In any case, in 2018, the price of a transaction should be reduced. Bitcoin should be a currency. The price and speed of transaction can not be higher than the banking system.

due to xmas holidays i'm not following much the news about this new-amazing-yet-another-hard-fork but it is just another fork aimed to get free coins for devs without any major improvement?

[Anti-Cen]

Fuck your petition.

This is not the original SegWit2x proposal.  Not even close.  Why would you even call it SegWit2x when it clearly involves a 4MB blocksize, along with all the other changes that weren't in the original fork?  Not to mention, on top of every other highly dubious design decision, you're stealing coins from keys that don't belong to you on this chain as an incentive to distribute to other people?  Introducing Satoshi's coins back into circulation.  How is theft an incentive unless you're a criminal?  It's a perversion of what Bitcoin was meant to be.  GTFO, you don't belong here.

You could be right and this is why I asked how many members from the original Segwit team are involved with this fork on the 28th
but you have to understand that propaganda and lies are flying off the shelf but no sooner had the old Seg team canceled the plan
than we watched transaction fees go to the moon so maybe they said "We wanted out, fuck it we are getting out now"  

BTC has been taken over by the fat cat bankers, i need no debate with you about that and the Lightning Network is the cream on the cake
See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2648868.new#new

if someone is just steeling the block-chain like anyone can and pretending that had anything to do with the original
development then I will join you and bring them down but so far I am not convinced so convince me if you can

[gabmen]

I have also heard these rumors, apparently they want to increase the blocks to improve transactions. Maybe this news is one of the causes that Bitcoin is taking back its price.

PS: it coincides with the day of my birthday, so I hope it is a good birthday gift and allow bitcoin to increase even more.

Well this should have been implemented last month to avoid the issues about transactions being stuck and mempool and the crazy transaction fees. Hopefully once 2x gets applied it will make transactions better. Watch out for the price as well as forks tend to shoot the value of btc

I hust leave some details here.

Dear members, your help is highly appreciated. Feel free to submit a support ticket to your favourite exchange and ask if they foresee the Segwit2x fork listing anytime soon.
The larger and more active the community is, the faster exchange platforms should commit to a fork

Hi friend and don't go running off again because I had to hold the fort for you in recent days and
it would be better coming from you yourself.

How many members from the old Segwit team are in the new Segwit2x team ?

Seems like many people people "Bankers" are doing all they can to hide whats going on
with this new fork and propaganda seems to be flying around like mad so can you please
try to convince people that it's not just a copy of the old block-chain with a tweak to the code
because anyone can do that to hijack what we already have.

Hello, our team is absolutely other (there are no members from the old team). The last team abandoned this project and our team decided to renew it. We are going to create a good product, be sure.

Seven transactions per second is a Micky Mouse program and is not in the same league as VISA who can do
25,000 a second and even that might be too small was BTC to live up to the design and do what it says on
the box.  

"price of a transaction should be reduced"

Lightning Network is not going to achieve this and leads to centralization using hubs that i am sure Coinbase would
be very happy about so what makes you think you are right about this because if that happens then we might as well
just stick with VISA anyway and it would be safer.

I am not a gambler myself like most people here, i design systems and have no lover what so ever for the bankers
but on the technical side I can tell you that BTC won't scale and that PoW is the bigest joke going and the joke is
on you and the miners who are fighting a CPU war with each other and its a total waste of space and energy

I was not expecting that answer at all but I will give you ten out of ten for being honest with us
which half makes me want to join you but i suppose the real killer question is why did you pinch
the name instead of using your own name.

I wait in anticipation of your answer as I am sure many others will be doing because you can
see why we are all a little confused.

Work with me and I will work with you and FYI I have already contacted your team and did get
a reply that i will deal with later when you not all being rushed off your feet.

You are in desperate need of being nudged in the right direction when it comes to Lightning
in a way that non programmers ans system designers can understand so please see
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYHFrf5ci_g
and then maybe we can have a debate and i say this with full respect

[dewi91]

until now I have not received any official notice about segwit2x, I do not know that is true or false..  actually I am not so interested about segwit2x but let's see what will happen tomorrow..

[shamzblueworld]

Could it be the reason that bitcoin value has started increasing again after the big dip?
If true then I think it will keep on rising for now.
Good time for investment then, even for short term profit oriented one.

[zipperhead]

Any ideas which exchanges will support the Segwitx2 and when?
I am particularly interested in Bittirex position on this...

[howtobuy]

Guys, i think its just a joke. This is Huge news and would be everywhere if was true.

[jko4]

https://b2x-segwit.io/ was made by blockstream devs.
The goal of fork is  to destroy bitcoin.
Blockstream devs openly work on destroying bitcoin with fees, and now also with stupid forks.
Blockstream is on Roger Ver payroll? The only man who benefits from this SegWit drama is Roger Ver with his Bitcoin.com website. Andreas Antonopoulos, biggest 1mb limit shill, was openly paid recently by Roger Ver in form of "donations". What for he was paid over $1mil? For not liking BCH and supporting high fees in BTC blockchain? Roger Ver goal is full control of bitcoin software and bitcoin.com website, so he can be a bitcoin boss. And the only way for him to succeed is destroying bitcoin.org software.

[zipperhead]

That's what I do not like about bitcoin... it's partially like scam.
At times people are not certain about what's going on, when but it still shakes off the whole market.
Etherium is much more reliable...

Guys, i think its just a joke. This is Huge news and would be everywhere if was true.

Read the warning here before you mistakenly take this fork at face value.  

I wish it were a joke, but they're trying their best to get their "news" everywhere.  I've seen "sponsored" articles on several news sites, (NewsBTC, bitcoin.com, coinblip and others) which means they've paid money out of their own pockets to advertise this doppelganger and try to pass it off as the real SegWit2x, which was (and remains) cancelled.  If they're spending money on advertising it, that means they probably have a plan on how to recoup that investment.  I can't help but wonder if they're stealing coins from private keys that don't belong to them on this newly created chain, maybe they plan on using some of those funds for themselves.  

Again, this is not the "real" SegWit2x.  It's a morally ambiguous clone with a misappropriated name.  Tread carefully.

[Sukut]

And I read one article saying it's coming mid-January. Which one is correct, if any?

[Anti-Cen]

Again, this is not the "real" SegWit2x.  It's a morally ambiguous clone with a misappropriated name.  Tread carefully.

Agree it's not the old Segwit team and given that they dropped out then you have to ask if they can be trusted anyway
or were they brought off ?

So they took the name and admitted this to me so in that respect they have been honest so did they just take the
name to say we will finish the job that they started to give themselves a boot from the word go or it it one big scam
and if it is a scam then what have we got to loose from the free coins because i say nothing and why should i remain
loyal to BTC who has stuffed us all over on the transaction fees.

As we speak the misses is buying more BTC just to get in on the fork and I might keep in BTC for a few more weeks
but I was rushing and used Coinbase to buy and something tell me that i will get trouble when I send the coins to my Jaxx private wallet
