From my understanding, there is a high likelyhood that 2x will fail on operational and technical grounds alone. Do you think this is a pretty accurate assumption? I really hope it does, but could it actually succeed with the new developers?
First I don't hope any president fails even if I don't like him because of the general grief it will cause.
I fear a failure after a 2x fork is similar. Bitcoin could take a huge hit and how could I wish for that.
Second - Why do you think there is a high risk of failure on operational or technical grounds. Jeff Garzik is clearly not doing what a lot of people here want, but he is former core and is by no means a wild and crazy guy.
