I'm running 15.0.1 on my computer that I downloaded from core. This should be sufficient to reject 2X?
Yep -- you're good to go as far as rejecting 2x. Just remember that if the 2x coins ever have value, and you want to sell them for more bitcoins, you probably want to avoid making any transactions after the fork. Any payments you make (to addresses you don't control) will send out your 2x coins as well. It sounds like you don't care, but just throwing it out there because it seems like the NYA companies are doing their best to pump their hard fork.
Based on what I understand, I'll wait and see what the best method of transacting is after the fork.
I follow the developers as I think they act in the best interest of bitcoin, not miners or banks.
