> the current bitcoin developers Rusty, I'd suggest to replace that with "a significant number of current bitcoin developers". There are Bitcoin Developers who may support the 2MB fork. "The current bitcoin developers" don't really make any centralized decisions on what to support or not.

The sentiment in the global technical bitcoin community is definitely against segwit2x, very strongly so. There may be some very few outliers, but the big picture is quite clear. See: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Segwit_support#Developers https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Segwit_support#Developers

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Segwit_support https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Segwit_support I'm also aware of no person with more than 5 years experience developing the Bitcoin protocol or it's implementations who have ever been in support of it. Lots of people are supportive of various capacity increase things without being supported by the reckless last minute backdoor dealing.

    Maybe emeritus, but he hasn't been doing bitcoin reference client development since 2012.

        It's a bitcoin wallet. Just like bitcoin core. Bitcoin-core != Bitcoin.
