It's like a season of forks is going on where "forks" are raining like hell.
I guess there will probably be no distribution of the so-called "long-awaited" B2X coins as they have proposed a different thing which makes it look completely different from the forks that happened earlier already. The "new" B2X devs are saying that they will premine the number of Bitcoins "Satoshi Nakamoto have in their wallet/s" and these devs will distribute them with those who will be supporting the project, no more further statements related to this premine idea have been disclosed as of yet. One more shocking thing here that they are not just going to increase it to 2, but 4MB blocks and the algo will also be different - X11 with 2.5 minutes block intervals as well, and they claim to implement replay protection as well as using zk-SNARK technology to let their users transact anonymously. All-in-all, it doesn't really look to plunge into, I would advice anyone who is interested in this to be very careful when it comes to using your private key(s) in order to claim coins (if they ever come up with this for Satoshi's coins distribution).

Like they asked people to help them "transfer their money out of their country"?
This really looks somehow a more shady act, I believe that after seeing more and more forks taking place with different types of ideas implemented in each but with the name of "BITCOIN", the "new" B2X developers decided to take a stand and come up with the project, but this time something new. They must have thought that why should they (B2X devs) lose a big share of the markets when others (those who are "insatiably" announcing as well as launching forks) are not leaving it? This has all become a money-making drama that started with just one fork on the name of Bitcoins and now they are launching it all as if they are dropping their pieces of "shit" over the network.

Yeah exactly I couldn't agree more with you on this, all of this is just a money-making scheme, I'm sure the devs implemented this fork not to improve bitcoin's network but to create a ton of money for themselves. The article alone seems like an advertisement to encourage people to support the fork. I'm quite confident that this fork isn't helpful to bitcoin at all, when the first fork happened they promised us that it will be better for the network, they said that after the fork there will be faster transactions and lesser fees but that never happened fast forward to last week, the network was so filled with unconfirmed transactions and bitcoin's fees just spiked up like crazy, now another fork is happening, I'm still quite confuse if this is a real fork or just a hype for people to buy more bitcoin, I don't really know but if this is real then I hope this can really fix the transaction problem and I hope it can really lessen the fees but honesty I doubt that.

Again, this has nothing to do with the original Segwit2X and the NYA agreement.
Completely new fork, they are just using the name B2X and Segwit2X, to get some free publicity.
I’m not even sure it’s a real fork, heh.

We’ll see.

[keyzersoze]

✱It will have a premine of 2,000,000 coins (9.5%)

6,000,000

Yeah, that’s what I read in their github.
6 mil total.
2,000,000 each, to 3 different addresses.

Cheeky monkeys

[keyzersoze]

This will be a good development. Lets see how how it plays out.

This is a bad development.  Did you read what they are doing?  If you do not have active bitcoins (active according to their rules which means sent from one address back to the same address between early Nov and early Dec OR between early Dec and early Jan) AND you submit your transaction ID to their web site (effectively identifying you by IP and potentially tying your coins together) YOUR scam-coins will be deemed "inactive" and "redistributed" (stolen).

Anyone who falls for this nonsense or supports this fork shows their true colors: ready to steal from "inactive" users to enrich themselves.  Pretty much the opposite of the bitcoin premise.

This is not the original Segwit2x, but someone hijacking the name and making the proposal even worse than the original.

You’re probably thinking of United Bitcoin. They are doing that crap.

Although this b2x has nothing to do with the original Segwit2X fork. And they do plan to redistribute satoshis coins by some means.

The way I understand it is, they are locking of a specific amount of the first-mined blocks of the b2x chain. Starting from the genesis block and Up to 2 mil b2x, to stop them from ever being claimed by satoshi and crew. Then they are going to somehow premine 2 mil coins and distribute them “fairly to all their loyal supporters”. Whatever da fuk that means.

I think you are right, that is United Bitcoin, but whichever one this is, if they think it is okay to steal Satoshi's coins while trying to cover it up by using phrases like "redistributing" or "distributing" to cover up that fact, it is a bad idea with a bad precedent being set.

Well, it’s open source, so they can fork off and do what the hell they want with their code.
But I don’t think this coin will fly at all, so don’t expect mass adoption, moon and lambos just yet, heh

[jvper]

This coin does not even compare to Bitcoin. They will steal Satoshi Nakamoto's coin. LOL! Is he unworthy of his coins? And what about the real use of the premine? How can that be enforced? This is obviously a scam coin, and price will crash to zero in the long term, I assure you. Why would someone even care of this coin? It is born as a scam (copying the name of NYA coin and stealing coins from legitimate users such as Satoshi).

But bitcoin cash didn't attach its name to a true (though controversial) project such as segwit2x. This is scammy at start. That's the difference imo. They pretend to be who they aren't.

[cellard]

God, why are people talking about segwit2x again? segwit2x is dead, nobody supports it anymore, yet im starting to see threads about it, not only here but on other forums, something is happening.

I think someone has decided to go through with it to make another pump and dump forkcoin, trying to capitalize on the fact that segwit2x had a lot of media exposure in the past, so it would get headlines if it restarted.

This is most likely a waste of time and not worth it for me to research further, so if anyone want's to drop some TL;DR on it please do so.

TL;DR


Unknown backers and devs. barely any real work done on their code. Except the premine bit.
Probably good for a dump, if you can bother exposing your keys and moving ur btc.
Nothing more, nothing less.

[kevoh]

This Segwit2x is a big joke. I took my time to read the available information about the Segwit2x team. The credibility of the team in terms of blockchain development and coding leaves a lot to be questioned which to me is a red flag.

[steve666]

So at last, nothing happened or what? 

[Xynerise]

✱It will have a premine of 2,000,000 coins (9.5%)

6,000,000

30% premine!
Who will support this shitty fork?!
People like this give bitcoin a bad name.

[jvper]

I don't understand why people bother about this scam coin! This is a bad example that may lead to other scam coins. Please do not trust or give audience to that.
