Until it's on again. Didn't they fork a few months ago too (Bitcoin Cash)?

  Coinbase didn't sign the notice calling off segwit2x[0] even tho they were an NYA signatory - but rather said they were "monitoring"[1] the situation I sense some uncertainty from Coinbase on what they want to do next. edit: also interesting that the price for segwit2x futures has increased today to ~$380 after a low of $198[2] [0] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-segwit2x/2017-November/000685.html https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-segwit2x...

    What is bitcoin futures? Is this speculative pricing on the speculative 2x fork?

      This reminds me of the scene in The Big Short where a manager casually talks about CDOs, synthetic CDOs and squared CDOs. And Steve Carell's character start asking: "what are squared CDOs... ?"

Jackson Palmer (Dogecoin founder) talks all about the Bitcoin fork at the last local Hack Days meetup[0]. It's actually a really great talk. [0](Skip to 30m) https://www.facebook.com/hackdays4all/videos/549774142034920/ https://www.facebook.com/hackdays4all/videos/549774142034920...

  Do you have a non-fb link?
  - lowglow 9y ago
    Not at the moment. I'm sure I can get this re-uploaded to youtube later tomorrow and follow up with a link.

Someone claiming to be a group of miners have said that they are going to go through with the fork. https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-segwit2x/2017-November/000689.html https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-segwit2x... https://bitcoin2x.org/ https://bitcoin2x.org/ Of course it's entirely possible that this person or group of people is just someone who bought B2X futures and is trying to push the price back up to minimize their losses.

  This is not a recognized group of individuals, and is likely a pump attempt. Subsequent posts to the list reflect the lack of acknowledgement.
