Hard Fork Plan Segwit2x gets closer and discussions heat up among the community. BY JANSEN
September is almost over and the Segwit2x plan to force the size of the network block to 2MB is fast approaching. As time goes on, the issue again came into question as some New York Agreement signatories (NYA) withdrew from the list, with arguments between users and members of the industry continuing to escalate.
The Bitcoin Guide recently reported on the F2 Pool mining organization announcing its intention to stop supporting Segwit2x's HardFork in November. On September 19, the platform for bitcoin peer-to-peer loans, Wayniloans says the deal is also moving away from NYA's commitment. The company's co-founder, Juan Salviolo, unveiled the announcement through the Segwit2x development mailing list.
"Thanks to Bitcoin, Wayniloans can carry out its business, and in May we agreed on a phrase to reach a consensus for the good of the ecosystem," explains Salviolo. "This phrase was later changed to a longer agreement without our notice, and was known as the New York Agreement (NYA). At the time, we did not know that existing developers would not support it, or that most Latin American bitcoin users, our customers, would consider it as a contentious proposal. "
"In addition, without mandatory replication protection on Segwit2x, we could not operate the crypto part of our business without the risk of missing funds or legal actions."
Erik Voorhees: "The Segwit2x Upgrade will have consensus"
Retry protection has been a controversial subject on the development of Segwit2x and has caused numerous arguments. Repeat attack protection ensures that someone who is malicious can not replicate the transaction in a Blockchain and fraudulently claim coins in the other Blockchain. Recently, a post on reddit / bitcoin revealed a bitcoin user who was upset with Erik Voorhees for "not honoring his commitment, making sure all Hard Forks are safe by adding repeat protection." According to the author, Voorhees blocked him on Twitter, however, the founder of Shapeshift does not agree with his perspective. Voorhees says he understands that many reddit / bitcoin users do not like Segwit2x, but a large majority of companies and miners support the plan.
"If the workforce and the largest portfolio providers continue the course, as they indicated, then the Hardfork in November will have irresistible support," Voorhees said. "Unless you want to say" consensus "means" universal agreement, "this Segwit2x update will have consensus. (And nothing has "universal agreement" except Blockchain itself ... because of the miners). "
According to Coin Dance statistics, support for Segwit2x is still 93%, at the time of writing, with respect to hash power. So far, only a few companies like Bitwala and Wayniloans have stepped down from the Segwit2x deal, and the F2 Pool blocks still say 'NYA' in the mining pool currency data.
