Developers are looking into a potential problem/bug with Segwit2x.
As described in a GitHub post by Blockstream CTO Greg Maxwell, the first part of the proposal, BIP 91, could lead some miners to reject blocks from others on activation. Discussion on the issue is still ongoing, but Maxwell is seeking to galvanize feedback to raise awareness of the issue.
This requires an urgent response,” he said on GitHub.
^This is just the beginning. How the fuck can these fucking idiots be so unprepared for this?
Because they're desperately trying to prevent BIP148. It's been like this for years. Fuck the gooks and fuck BIP91. If that goes through, whatever form segwit2x takes will become worthless.

These clowns wanna hardfork to a wortless shitcoin, sayanora! Screw x2!

>trusting chinese miners even once Buy IOTA. It's both blockchain- and miner-free, and it also offers instant transactions, zero fees, and infinite scalability.
Julian Ross
Derp, read between the lines.
Core/Blockstream is pissed that BIP91 gained traction against their will. A 2 MB hardfork also delays demand for off-chain transactions that Blockstream needs to start turning a profit. And if miners do pull this off, there probably will be miner-initiated block size increases. Less power and control for Blockstream prevents profits for a long long time.
So it's in Core's best interests to destabilize and undermine BIP 91, especially since BIP91 leads to a 2MB HF. If they were able to do that, miners would be strongly incentivized to take up Segwit straight up to prevent the UASF from splitting the chain. This would cast the 2MB increase into question though.
If you actually read the comments on Maxwell's issue, you realize this bug poses no real world issues, as miners all use the relay network for signaling. The whole push, and seriousness of the description is designed to spread FUD amongst miners and the markets.

Not fuckin' selling. Bring it on, fudders.

Their website legit just crashed my phone. After restart I can barely scroll on this shit. How can I trust these fucking idiots with my money?
Dominic Reyes
Hey, if you want to use broken crypto, then that's your choice.
Maybe you shouldn't try using a potato as a phone then.
Aiden Bennett
Fake fud news. Segwit will be activated. Big blocks will be blocked.
Asher Wilson
Nothing broken about bitcoin, poo in the loo coiner
Adrian Phillips
bigger blocks to mine = higher transaction fees
Cooper Johnson
WE WILL CRASH BITCOIN WITH NO SURVIVORS BROTHER, HAVE WE STARTED THE FLIPENING?
Nathaniel Bell

Cameron Ramirez
what happens if a large chinese mining facility catches on fire?
so many drawbacks to crypto
Evan Nelson
actually not a problem, but crypto will go full PoS in a few years, goodbye china welcome passive income
Jaxon Hill
Doesn't matter. Hashpower is extremely distributed across China. If you had one of the biggest pools burn down, you might see transactions slow down by ~5-10% as long as two weeks. Of course hashpower is being added all the time, so you honestly may not see a noticeable difference 2-3 days later.
This is the benefit of a decentralized structure.
Grayson Ortiz
Nervous about what retard?
I got thousands of bitcoins for mining. I've seen it all. Been there done that.
Andrew Perez
Bitcoin's never going PoS while I'm still holding.
Colton Butler
one more reason why it will not be the n1 coin by 2020 :^D
Adam Diaz
>could lead some miners to reject blocks from others on activation. Perfect miners got monopoly of new blocks, disguised as improvement for the scaling issue.
1600 here we go

It always was and always will be 1, poo in the loo coiner

I can practically taste the salt in your posts.

it already passed 80%, what matter is how it ends by 1 august.
Andrew Thompson
Where do I buy it?
Kevin Roberts
Bitfinex. I recommend transferring ETH over from another exchange to purchase.

CAN NEWFAGS STOP TALKING ABOUT SHIT THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE ABOUT?
ITS NOT ABOUT BIP91 IDIOTS, ITS ABOUT BIP148

>thinking everyone else is as much of a fucking retard as yourself
that's where you're wrong kiddo
Jordan White
They tried btc classic, unlimited, xt, abc, cash.
They all bite the dust, nervous shitcoiner.
Lincoln Barnes
The dude is wrong but you don't have to be mean
Lucas Reyes
Isn't bip 91 good? It prevents a split and activates segwit. This should increase price?
Aaron Parker
Except this time their schenanigan has a majority of hashing power.
Justin Sullivan
BIP91 is great.
Core hates it because it wasn't their plan, among other things.
Chase Cox
BIP91 is literally miners coercing the ecosystem into changing the validation rules.
Jose James
Miners locking in bip91 is basicly activating UASF
Aiden Green
so they can potentially mod it again in the future?
Brandon Brown
Segwit will be locked in before august. End of story. No lambo's for you shitcoiners!
Cooper Sanchez
Why didn't they just make the block size really large (e.g. 64 mb) so they push the issue completely away for the foreseeable future?
Jeremiah Rodriguez
Checked and Kek'd! Praise Kek!!!
Juan Smith
Should I buy before or after implementation?
Jaxson Wright
the threes are the bees knees
Angel Foster
If you want to buy below 4K, I would say NOW
Adrian Brown
That's how Bitcoin works. Miners vote on rules by choosing which blocks to extend and which to reject. The longest chain with the greatest POW is bitcoin. This is why people are concerned with pool diversity- if one pool gets enough hashpower, they alone could make the rules of Bitcoin.
>so they can potentially mod it again in the future?
Yes, hopefully. Larger blocks will probably be required in a year or so. A 4MB or 8MB block increase will probably be easily handled at that point.
Jaxson Gomez
I want to buy below 2k though :/
Brody Richardson
K just get your delorean to 88 MPH then
Mason Reyes
Ethereum alliance has mastercard, cisco, government of india, banks, BP oil, microsoft, jp morgan, etc on their side...
why doesn't bitcoin have an alliance?
Joseph Lewis
>government of india Truly the pajeet coin we all need but don't deserve
Jack Nguyen
? This is literally a major issue from the dev team
are you fucking retarded?
Nicholas Cruz
>implying it wont dip again this weekend
Daniel Morales
nice so this is basically a test ground? miners getting along and building alliances to dominate.
like a first battle to see which faction to join and so on?
Liam Watson
Lol, it's not a major issue. Also it's just Core/Blockstream being butthurt.
Eli Cook
Crash 2.0!!!!
Andrew Bailey
Uh, kind of? There's overwhelming support for this. I'm sure if BIP91 succeeds miners will be more proactive in future updates without Core.
Ryan Cruz
hope this is true
Juan Bell
Oh yeah? Can't wait to see it then. I'm shaking already.
Bentley Ward
JIHAN HAS A SECRET ARMY
PREPARE FOR BLOOD
BITMAIN IS GOING TO LAUNCH A 51% ATTACK ON BTC AFTER THE BIG BLOCKERS SPLIT
Core doesn't like BIP91 because the NYA was created by business men, not developers. It's creates a huge issue for the network if it splits using untested technology, Bitcoin Unlimited crashing multiple times should make you scared of the NYA as BU was developed by business men who hired shit coders. Do you really want to be on the side of Bitmain? That's just ridiculous. Rather be on the side of Core who have been working on BTC for years without issue and only get paid in donations, not fucking Jihan Wu.
You're just an idiot.
Doubtful as PoW is cheaper in the end.
I really just think its maintaining their monopoly over Bitcoin. Bitmain being the only major distributor of ASICs wanting the block size increase will just further their agenda of dominating Bitcoin. Their HF plan doesn't make blocks have a limit of 2mb, it stops at 8mb which causes issues for the average joe being able to run a node as the blockchain size will be just too big and expensive to run. Governments and huge mining operations will be the only ones to have the resources to control the network thus removing decentralization.
It has to be locked in.
Idiot.
To anyone who uses the "Satoshi's Vision," argument, he didn't take into account how fast bitcoin was gonna grow, ASICs, and a monopoly on mining software in fucking china. Increasing the size at this day and age poses the risk of 51% attacks because only groups with vast resources can keep the network up.
Now stop being idiots and don't discuss this shit in public.
Gavin Hill
This is good. If we manage to get segwit locked in, all the delusional idiots pretending to hardfork to the segwit2x crap will be exposed further, so no more FUD in november.
Dominic Anderson
Nice just bought 100k

Litecoin and Bitcoin will swap prices overnight.
