Whether you’re ready for it or not, it’s going to happen. We will witness another Bitcoin hard fork in two months. This time it will be backed by the technical team that proposed Segwit2x.
Leading the pact is Bitcoinj developer Jean-Pierre Rupp, who filed an announcement to increase the block size to 2 MB and continues to work on SegWit2x.
According to Jeff Garzik, Bloq founder and Segwit2x developer, the proposal has received ‘general approval’ from Segwit2x members.
On the other hand we have Bitcoin Core developers who remain adamant in opposition to SegWit2x and have already said that the upcoming Bitcoin Core client 0.15.0 will automatically disconnect nodes supporting the SegWit2x fork.
