Today this B2X hard fork has launched:
http://b2x-segwit.ioBut they are not the same people behind Bitcoin Core , and there are just a bunch of exchanges that support that, and that suggests me this is not the official fork.
So we are going to have 2 different Segwit2x currencies ?
And most important: if we have BTC on our local wallet,
how can we claim these B2X ?
There seems not to be any info.
If Yobit and HitBTC were able to automatically give B2X to BTC holders today, we must be able to claim B2X manually by ourselves as well, as the
claim procedure should be the same for anyone who has a private key.
In my opinion all the forks that we had this year are just all scams, they are all just new altcoins that claim to be part of the bitcoin just to get a good name for them and to make it be successful and get a lot of people into them, and obviously the segwit2x is no different it claims to make bitcoin great and make transaction time faster, but so as the other forks and all they did is bring the bitcoin down and divided the community, as fas claiming b2x it is still not supported by the online wallets such as coinbase or blockchain, but if you have your bitcoin on a wallet where you have access to your private keys than you will be able to claim them.
Block chain did support the segwit back in November but after it was canceled they didn't make any statment about this one, so that goes to show you how useless it is.
