RE: What is Segwit2x and Why 1st August Launch ?

in #steemit • 8 years ago

SegWit2x and BIP 148 are two different codes. Don't confuse them, please!
BIP 148 is created by Bitcoin Core developers and is considered to be best possible solution for Bitcoin scaling.
SegWit2x is code created by Jeff Garzik. It is dangerous, untested and surely is created for Bitmain's personal gain.

    BIP148 is a UASF that is designed to cause the existing SegWit MASF deployment to cause activation in all existing SegWit capable node software (which currently is 80% of the network nodes).

      Yeah, your sentence doesn't make any sense!
      SegWit2x is created to stall SegWit activation on the network. It is a tool that brings all eyes on it, so that UASF doesn't get enough attention.
