He's back ? Bitcoin’s SegWit2X Fork Scheduled for December ‎‎28

[Kargai]

Important note : it's not the come back of the Segwit2X who was cancelled few weeks ago. This one is another "shitfork" like Bitcoin Diamond, Bitcoin Plus, etc. I repeat it's not the fork who was planned earlier.

The fork will happen in just a week, precisely on the block number 501451. What is going to change in this new chain is the block size (up to 4 MB), the production rate of the block to 2.5 minutes, a new type of addresses, the difficulty of mining will be updated after each block, 

The project will be implemented because Bitcoin is simply impossible to use as a means of payment right now. 

Each holder of BTC will receive the same amout of B2X (ratio 1:1) but also a proportional number of Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto`s coins (what the hell this thing is, i really don't know).

uh oh I gotta get some btc ready... lol who knows if it will happen for real tho

[barbaris]

Why are they doing that? They think that new coins will enjoy the same popularity. I'm not interested in the branches of bitcoin and I have no desire to invest in them. Maybe I'm wrong.

Thank you @Kargai as always useful information.

@barbaris , I think he answered this question in the official website. Here's what he quoted- "Commission and transaction speed within the Bitcoin network has reached extraordinary values. It is almost impossible to use it as a means of payment."- aap Terlouw, Founder of the project

And I think he's right at some certain point. I mean look at the piles of unconfirmed transactions, the transaction fee and all these. Don't you think that a fork is necessary(obviously not a shitfork)

I personally support this fork. For Any other information about the fork, check this official website- https://b2x-segwit.io/

Why supporting this fork if it's not a change on the main blockchain ? BTC will stay ass tuck and cloaged as now. It will just be a new coin and BCH is already faster and cheaper than BTC, so a better "bictoin coin" already exist.

I'm just afraid, bitcoin is sensitive to everything. To talk, to forks and so on. I want stability for this coin.

i saw this news today, and more more bitcoin forks to come also.... this will get more traffic on blockchain i guess...

Thank you for sharing Kargai

[rack001]

Thanks For informing Kargai . I amma try to hold some bitcoins till then . Probably this one would pump the price a little bit more up like all the other ones . I personally  think there is need for any more forks .Fork was a special thingy and a big thingy when btc cash was released .Now it seems like they are popping from everywhere. Fake news of fork is also common. Anyone comes up with a new fork with just extending the block size and nothing else .This kills the excitement of it tho !

Nice information.. But is this coin somehow related to : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2444949.0  ??

I followed their bounty since beginning. I don't know if it's legit tho since the thread starter is a "newbie rank"

I don't know but i wouldn't be surprise. Like I said in the first post it's a shitcoin, not a real BTC fork. They could be a scam as Bitcoin Platinum was.

Hahahaha yeah you right  I never heard of bitcoin diamond anymore anyways  

Also, the thread starter of b2x on bitcointalk said that they will create a spreadsheet since November, but I can't even find any spreadsheet until now  

This could be another scam yeah.

[Kargai]

Just wanna add this part of a video speaking about the fake Segwit2X since I believe it's really well explianed by BoxMining (i put you the exact moment, no need to watch all the vid) :

 

[skillex]

What a waste, wish I havent withdrawn mine yet on coinbase i should have B2x right now. very unlucky of me.. it was due to massive btc price drop I withdrawn all and holiday season also ,better luck next time for me.

[RicciRivero]

Thats a waste i heard this news yesterday  and i saw it again thanks for this info kargai  

[akki785]

I'm Not sure of the legitimacy of this b2X fork. Announced it was forked on 28th, but till now, I didn't get any extra coin in any wallet. Waiting for the official announcements from different wallets..

[Kargai]

Seem more and more that I was right by being cautious about this fork. It was launch few days ago and very very little media coverage about it.

Some are even questionning if it's a pure scam or not : https://www.ccn.com/segwit2x-a-scam-community-members-cry-foul/

If we look at coinmarketcap ... the futures where around 1000$ the day it was done, 72h later they are at ... less than 250$. A lost of 75% in the value.

Could be because the market is struggling right now or a drop like we saw one for Bitcoin Cash or Bitcoin Gold. But could be also because it's pure crap

So what they posted on the telegram channel isn't a hoax afterall. Someone explained it detailly about it. Really a bad news

I hope the next fork (bitcoin cash plus) won't be like this.

[wry]

Maybe not a pure scam but clearly not well done.  Bitcoin Gold was a borderline debacle and this roll out makes it look like professional operation.  I'm all about freedom and happy to see forks if people have a better idea BUT it needs to be handled in a very professional manner in order to gain acceptance and people's confidence.
