On October 6, 2017, Bitcoin.org issued a statement condemning the Segwit2x hard bifurcation and the company involved in the project and plans to add banners on each page of the site to explain the November hard bifurcation event as well as its presence risks.
Bitcoin circles recently become more and more exciting, because many digital currency supporters Segwit2x hard for the bifurcation of the dispute in November hit their hands full. October 6, on Bitcoin.org Theymos and Cobra Bitcoin two anonymous said they planned to 2017-10-11 noon (UTC) added on risk Segwit2x (S2X) warning on each page, and participate in hard Bifurcated companies will also be publicized.
In order to ensure security we only have to warn, do not put the user's assets at risk. We would urge all companies publicly clarify its position before that date, either public statements or comments by Bitcoin.org (both can do).
Lead Segwit2x developer Jeff Garzik is not surprised at this
In Github's discussion of whether Bitcoin.org should be warned, there are some people who oppose the practice. Another leader of the Cobra Bitcoin Bitcoin.org said he would elevate the level of risk Segwit2x is "red alert" because he thought hard bifurcation in November could bring huge threat to Bitcoin.
Cornell University professor EminGünSirer thinks Bitcoin.org's condemnation moves some religious tastes, a bit heresy taste.
Bitcoin.org wants the participating companies to explain their intention to bifurcate and declare that they will not call Segwit2x's BTC before the next warning. "The behavior of the miners can not be used as a reevaluation of the same currency", which is similar to the article on the "Bitcover Wiki" website they posted on August 8, "Bitcoin.org said Bitcoin should not be affected by miners Rule, and does not allow the default use of S2X software, but that access to S2X currency is acceptable
bitcoin.org forums and other social media are arguing about this statement, the vast majority of Bitcoin supporters agree with bitcoin.org to make a statement, but one side that the statement is absurd, including Reddit Forum's chief administrator , They stated in the statement of the forum that the bitcoin.org blog statement was aimed at companies that were involved in hard bifurcation as well as other stakeholders.
