The SegWit2x Hard Fork Will Occur on Bitcoin Block 494,784 [ cryptocurrency n°7 ]

in cryptocurrency •  7 years ago 

 Not long ago, we discussed whether or not the SegWit2x hard fork would still happen. At the time, it appeared there was very little reason to suppose it would, considering the lack of support enjoyed by this project. 

 However, the team behind SegWit2x is not giving up just yet, and they have announced the block number during which the hard fork is expected to take place. Even with this announcement, the fork may not have much support in the long run. 

 The SegWit2x hard fork message was distributed by the BCoreProject Twitter account, rather than the Bitcoin Core account itself. This shows someone is still planning to go ahead with the SegWit2x hard fork and increase the block size to 2 MB. 

 Unfortunately, it seems the vast majority of the network has no intention of doing this right now, and it is unclear how much support this proposal still has.
