But it's segwit2x... it is the same as the regular segwit? Or are you forced to run non-Core software in order to benefit from the segwit activation? Because im never going to use anything that isn't released by Core as everyone else that isn't a idiot will do.

Unless Core approves then it's useless because Core is responsible for all the software and got the best devs.

The hard fork in 3 months is simply insanity, it's not happening period.

So far there isn't much code written for Segwit2x as far as I know and barely tested.
So miners could just run BIP91 which is compatible with BIP148 and will activate the original Segwit. So there is no tweaked SegWit version, which is good.You as user continue running your core client!
As soon as we have Segwit the Shilbert side will write their code for a HF, which is of course will not be merged by Core. So what's going to happen is that Shilbert and Co will create a new client (btc1 I believe) which everybody needs to run so that a smooth HF could happen!
And of course I will not run a shitty client which isn't coded by Core!Furthermore I'm not interested in bigger blocks. 2x doesn't mean 2MB by the way. The blocksize the miners are planning to have is bigger than that!
So imo the HF with a majority of users, as miners some wish, will not happen! So Let Jihan and his shills fork off if he wants and create their Chinacoin.
SegWit2x is just to save face for the miners by the way! Without the pressure of UASF BIP148 they wouldn't do this. They could have agreed to BIP141 since months! Now they learn it the hard way!

cool off... segwit is segwit. a compromise is not ideal for either side. but for the sake of bitcoin this civil war has to stop.
