If you haven’t heard already, there are several forks coming.

In mid-November, a group is planning to initiate the SegWit2X fork, the protocol change embedded in the BTC1 software seeking to raise the block size to 2MB in addition to using SegWit to strip digital signature data.

SegWit2X is highly controversial, to say the least. The project was initially mediated as the New York Agreement, a compromise between the warring camps of the scaling debate. The plan was to upgrade the SegWit chain to increase the capacity of the network from ~250,000 transactions per day to ~500,000 transactions per day within six months from May 2017, when the consensus was reached.

And with only a month to go before the fated day, the gloves are coming off.
