"SegWit2X Subgroup May Still Create a Hard Fork Friday, November 17th: Real or Politics?"
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...

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
[steemit](https://steemit.com)Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.The code obviously does not work within Steemit. Used the format and it simply showed the entire link.
You left out part of the makrdown. The part in the [] that displays.
