Another stab at a SegWit2X fork is rearing its ugly head? Really?
So they claim...
If you go to coin.dance (enter it in your browser if you dare; Norton says site has not been tested yet FYI) and click on "Bitcoin" in the upper right, you'll see that they are running a countdown clock....tick tock... for yet another attempt at a SegWit2X hard fork by a splinter group on Friday, Nov 17th, 2017.
At least one SegWit2X subgroup at https://bitcoin2x.org/ says in ungrammatical English "We are a group that plan [plans] to continue with the Bitcoin2X fork. Following the community feedback, we are now exploring different replay protection addition to the fork to avoid network instability."
It seems that they may not meet the Nov. 17th deadline of the countdown clock on coin.dance if their software is not yet written!
They wrote a website update in advance for a Nov. 16th launch that did not happen.
At https://bitcoin2x.org/en/buy : "When did Bitcoin2x come about? Bitcoin2x came into existence on November 16th, 2017." NO IT DIDN'T!
Sorry, Bitcoin2X is not available at your local ATM either.
At the "countdown" coin.dance site they state: "At approximately 11:16AM GMT on November 17, 2017, the Bitcoin network may experience a hard fork that would result in a permanent split of the Bitcoin network." Above that they also say the Nov. 16th launch is cancelled. Remember the FIRST SegWit2X launch was supposed to be this past Monday, Nov. 13th.
If this group is too small and lacks support, it's sure to flop once again.
Is this all B.S. and political posturing or real? Let me know what you think...
