in #bitcoin7 years ago

Segwit2x does not come with replay protection and is vulnerable to replay attacks. In this video, I cover what are replay attacks, the limitations to replay attacks and why you should care.

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.

To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.

To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as [steemit](https://steemit.com) Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.

This message was created by a bot. It is part of the ongoing fight against spam and phishing attacks on steemit. If you did not use short links in your post and feel you have received this message in error you can contact @fubar-bdhr on discord or @fubar.bdhr on steemit chat to report the issue.

Bitcoin has plan to deliver 21M coin for 100 yr time frame . But this kind of fork updates ! I dont think that 21M limitation stays long at all, not with this kind of popularity.

I don't plan on selling off my b2x immediately. I'm going to see how it works out. I think it's still a viable option and if the transactions are cheaper then I feel like more people will adopt it... Of course there will need to be more wallet support as well so it will be some time before we can see the full potential of b2x.

Segwit2x has been cancelled: https://steemit.com/segwit2x/@usethebitcoin/mike-belshe-segwit2x-will-be-suspended

Take a look at it. Thank you.

Yeah I saw that today :/ messed up my plans. Still I made 8 percent today

Hi, new friends, I hoop you upvote and following me.

good idea. I hoop you upvote and following me.

Good post!

Great info! There's going to be a lot of people losing their funds after the fork because they didn't watch this video.
This is definitely going to be an interesting next few months watching the market react to this fork. I think the smart ones will just wait for more info before selling off any of their forked bitcoins.

As usual, great info!

This lack of replay protection makes this fork different from what happened with bitcoin cash & possibly bitcoin gold. In this case, unlike before, I prefer to let an exchange, hopefully a trusted one that has previously displayed enough technical expertise, handle the Segwit2x forking for me. My own technical expertise is not good enough to do this myself in my own wallet (in this case, electrum). So the question now is choosing the right exchange...

Ok, looks like Segwit2x is not happening!

i am not in mood to sell btc now. but the technology & others associate with btc should be smart & updated timely.

One minute silence for the people who were ready to get free BTC Gold :) Useful information shared~

Very informative video. I enjoy your youtube channel very much. Segwit2x is cancelled, let's see what will be in store for bitcoin in the future.

What the fork is going on?!??! I think it's confusing for so many people right now...I also made a video on it and asked people's opinion on Bitcoin's situation.
