I just don’t want to comment any more on this, ill wait and see what will happen with this Segwit2x, my brain hurts! 🙂 (grabbing popcorn)

P.S readying the comments on forum thread is a real joy :))

You are right, I got you wrong 😀
Maybe the word scam is not the best for them. It is just a random guy who wants to get rich very easily, like guys from BTG or BCH did.
I’m sure it is not valuable project. Reasons? The founder has no expert blockchain or developer skills, he tries to trick people with the name segwit2x, there is no real team behind.

For sure making profit on B2X futures was a part of the plan. Maybe they did it in cooperation with Hitbtc so more time means more profit and that’s why they still answers?
Maybe they are going to release the coin no matter what? They have nothing to lose, you can’t jail them at this point. There are so many uneducated people investing in cryptocurrencies that they could find enough who will follow and make them very rich.
I just hope no other exchange than hitbtc will list that coin.

Oh man, you got me wrong 😀
I am not defending Segwit2x. I am fighting you lol
On a friendly way ofc. You are talking so seriously but your arguments still are a bit bland, imho.

Here is an example. You’ve said “they asked for people’s Bitcoin private keys on bitcointalk”

Now check this
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2595620.msg27033108#msg27033108

And then you can also check that Donna troll account activity. Some people are trolling segwit2x on bitcointalk and the mod is doing nothing. Both Donna’s and the founder’s fake accounts (owned by no one knows who) are writing all sorts of bs. It takes a minute of research and a bit of common sense to understand that those two are troll accounts created by someone who hates the new segwit2x. Just check their activity and you will see what I am talking about.

I’ve never said that segwit2x is a working project (I am however curious on whether they are truly a scam, the bitcointalk thread is so much fun to follow right now, especially with so many haters losing their minds and manners). What I did said is that no matter whether they are scam or not, a dumb argument is still a dumb argument.
You do have a point that the segwit2x we have now is not the original segwit2x. The team is different, the algo is different, only the name remains the same. If this thing is one big scam, then I wonder why would they keep answering telegram/bitcointalk comments. Maybe they are buying themselves time so they can sell more B2X futures? What do you think?

Yeah, things are more clear now. thanks! 🙂

Thanks, now it looks like a really weird case. Good, objective update.

Just listen to yourself:
– „Jaap Terlouw could be that NewbieGuy36 with 1000 comments”
– „lack of transparency makes them totally look like a scam”
– „what if she was following crypto for a while now, but she kept it for herself”

and other facts:
– no whitepaper
– week old GitHub account
– in fact, Donna’s Instagram profile says she is a blockchain expert 😀
– they asked for people’s Bitcoin private keys on bitcointalk
– it is not Segwit2x fork which should have happen in November (X11 vs SHA256 algorithm, 4MB vs 8MB block size, etc.)

And for you these arguments are „a bit bland”. You believe it’s just bad coincidence, not another random guys trying to get rich very easily. Ok, it is your right.

Please convince me and give me some facts that confirms this project is legit.

I’m subscribed both to 1stminingrig and cointelegraph and yeah, it was weird to see both of them sharing the same news. COuldn’t disagree with you on that

That being sid, some of the scam claims regarding segwit2x are still a bit bland, imho. LIke, Jaap Terlouw could be that NewbieGuy36 with 1000 comments. You will never know, unless he says that.

I do agree with you that the new segwit2x devs are making a huge mistake by not sharing enough info with the community. THis lack of transparency makes them totally look like a scam (in the case they are a legit project). Add to that the ocassional mistake they make on their website and you get a dealbreaker for most people.

Now, about the fact that Donna Khyuz “suddenly became a crypto expert”… well, what if she was following crypto for a while now, but she kept it for herself? Like, I’ve got an instagram accoutn too, though I do not mention there all of my skills and proficiencies regarding crypto, guitar, pet training and jogging. You get the idea. Btw her account before the update stated “model, actress, dancer, business woman”. That “business woman” part could refer to crypto.

But again, Donna is probably not a professional community manager. There is a thing called “target auditory” – I am sure that people who follow her on instagram are not really interested in crypto. So using her instagram account could be quite the wrong move – in case the whole project is not a scam, of course.

Just added two links with some proofs. To be honest there is skeptic people with every coin, firstly when i researched i did found people SCREAMING about the scam but that’s very common thing and also confusing, Is hard to find a scam with a standard/med research. I just wanted to tell people how will this go, what it means and maybe they can take advantage of the 1:1 ratio.

Obviously i am not into scams promotion, i will keep updating the post with new data i can found, if you have more things to show please email them to me.

thanks! :/

Already updated the post! thanks!

Yo Alex, didn’t know that posting the same comment is something wrong. Both the Cointelegraph and 1stminingrig shared missed news. „Bitcoin fork that has been cancelled in November will finally take place the 28th of this month” – this is not true. This is different project, coin and the team. I just want to warn people.

You are right, we are part of bitcoin community. Please show me any activity of Jaap Terlouw showing that he is an valuable member of this community. Apparently, cryptocurrencies are so amazing that you can became an expert day by day. 🙂

And again you are right, none of the people there are models. But checking the web.archive.org and Instagram will reveal that Donna Khyuz was a „Model, Dancer, Actress” several days ago. Now she is a blockchain expert. Nothing unusual. 🙂

For me this case was stinky from the time I saw their web page. Now more people see what it is in real. Just check reddit.
