[Bitcoin-segwit2x] Segwit2x Final Steps

[Alberto De Luigi]

30% network hashrate disappeared? What are you talking about? Anyway,
without Jihan's pools s2x has not even the 51%. Keep your energy for the
next round! : )

We are carrying out the fork regardless as everything is set in motion.
Backing down the difficulty right now is a strategy. Wonder why 30% network
hash-rate disappeared?  It's ours; the miners that will continue what is set
in motion... A handful of humans cannot stop what they have no control
over...

for Segwit seemed like a distant mirage with only 30% support among miners.
Segwit2x found its first success in August, as it broke the deadlock and
quickly led to Segwit's successful activation. Since that time, the team
shifted its efforts to phase two of the project - a 2MB blocksize increase.

Unfortunately, it is clear that we have not built sufficient consensus for a
clean blocksize upgrade at this time. Continuing on the current path could
divide the community and be a setback to Bitcoin's growth. This was never
the goal of Segwit2x.

we hope the community will come together and find a solution, possibly with
a blocksize increase. Until then, we are suspending our plans for the
upcoming 2MB upgrade.
