While many bitcoins-users are watching the competition between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, the war between Bitcoin Core developers and Segwit2x developer’s fuels tension in the crypto-currency community. The Bitcoin Core developers also mentioned that the Segwit2x team refused to include protection against replay attacks. This is a type of network attack on the authentication system by recording and then reproducing previously sent out correct messages or parts thereof, as a result of which cyber criminals receive additional coins.
Bitcoin Core developer Eric Lombroso says that Segwit2x "is a serious cyber attack, and all measures to combat this software will be implemented in both technical and legal form." The opposition is confident of obtaining sufficient hash capacity and support of enterprises. The developer of Bcoin & Btc1, Christopher Geoffrey, notes that "Gavin Andresen's OP_RETURN method provides protection from replay attacks and does not allow to cross networks with 1MB and 2 MB blocks."
Other supporters of Segwit2x think that the support of hash capacities will play an important role, because if 90% of the hash-time will work in the Segwit2x blockbuster, Core will most likely separate from them.This will lead to the fact that in Bitchein's blockade there will be an insignificant hash-rate with the previous complexity. It seems that this fight will last until November this year. The Segwit2x working group will not deviate from its goals and will continue to develop software in accordance with the roadmap. "The goal of Segwit2x is to update Bitcoin, and not create altcoyin," explained Jeff Garzick.
