Yes.. it is true that the fork has been called off, take a look at these recent news. A small setback for a greater leap, I guess.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It seems like the fork wouldn't have succeeded, even if they had followed through with it:

Apparently there's a bug in BT1's node code that would have prevented the hardfork from being triggered in the first place. This "upgrade" would have basically shut down the Bitcoin network until a patch were to be released and widely deployed.

Thanks for the update, after official cancel S2X was not making sense at all to continue but I guess was gonna happen in a minority chain that would die soon, but if they did not succed that is even better  Grin
