A SegWit2x something unreal, or the revival of the controversial hard fork bitcoin
Recently, the network has a number of reports about the revival of the controversial hard fork of the Bitcoin SegWit2x, which was officially canceled on November 8 . Hard fork should occur on the block 510 451, that is very soon. Some even associate with him the last bitcoin correction.
Just note that behind this new old hard fork is a completely different development team, which in the crypto-currency community are at least skeptical. Many are wondering if SegWit2x is a scaffold, or directly state it.
Until today, fork's website has provided information about the three team members: Yape Thurlow, Donne Hughes and Robert Szabo.
According to the information in the profile of Yapa Turnow on LinkedIn, he is "the main developer and consultant of SegWit2x". At the same time, he has no experience in the field of blocking. At the moment he is the CEO of the company, whose name, unfortunately, does not specify, and in the past worked "Mayor SLM new build" (which is exactly what this post implies, it is quite difficult to say) in another company without a name.
Donna Hughes' profile on LinkedIn is not available. In her profile in Instagram, it is written that Hughes is a "cryptorazorovkom, an expert on ICO and blockade."
On December 19, Hughes was still "a model, a dancer, an actress, a business woman." Apparently, for a week in the career of Hughes there was a rather sharp turn.
Robert Szabo has posted more information about himself than his colleagues, but he does not have experience in the development of blockade. Previously, he held several positions in T-Mobile and is an engineer in automation.
In the last 24 hours, 2 other team members appeared on the site: Arthur Buynitsky and Bartosh Kozlowski. Probably, in order to increase the credibility of the project, Buinitsky's profile included a line about the experience in the field of software development, and Kozlouzki - keeping accounts.
In addition, earlier as a member of the team SegWit2x on the site was specified Sairam Jetty, who did not give his consent. In response to a question whether the new SegWit2x is a scam, Jetty wrote "Yes."
Anxiety and beat users Reddit. So, u / draget notes that special activityon the page SegWit2x on Github is not maintained, and she exists only 9 days. A similar situation at the Bitcointalk forum, where the representative of the project appeared just 12 days ago.
u / Breakpoint writes that the Bitcointalk project representative extorted private keys from community members, and u / RzeroD discovered that SegWit2x's pre-master will be 2 million coins, which the developers keep silent about.
Several users, including u / Sonicthoughts and u / increaseblocks, claim that the LinkedIn developers' accounts belong to non-existent people.
Team SegWit2x promises to distribute bitcoin holders "a proportional number of bitocoins Satoshi Nakamoto as a reward for their commitment to progress." In response, blogger Dr-Hack wrote : "I do not know how they will get BTC, owned by Satoshi Nakamoto. The application is crazy and interesting at the same time. " He also rightly notes that "the official Instagram, Twitter, the second channel Telegram and Reddit are almost empty."
Obviously, the new SegWit2x is an exclusively commercial project, the true goals of the organizers of which are unclear, and he himself is completely opaque and causes many doubts.
