SegWit2X Is Coming December 28th!
As if we didn't have enough Bitcoin forks to deal with this month, what with Diamond, Platinum, Super Bitcoin, GOD and maybe more I've probably forgotten about all coming. News from Bitcoinist says that SegWit2X will be launching on December 28th.
The specific date being:
December 28th, 2017 at block 501451.
Why B2X?
According to that article B2X will have:
- Bigger 4mbs blocks
- Faster block times
- Unique addresses, and
- A whole bunch of other technical stuff
The article also says the 2X team's roadmpap includes plans to integrate ZK Snarks for better privacy, add smart contracts, and also the lightning network.
Can They Pull It Off?
They have a VERY bold roadmap, and I wonder if they can pull it off?
One things for sure, people who were holding B2X futures will be seeing their coins by the end of the year. Only time will tell if it is to be a successful fork I guess!
What do you think?
Are you as fed up with all the forks as me? Or, do you think this could be a fork worth doing?
Let me know below!
Thanks for viewing!
