Yep! Exactly that's what happened. Gavin and 3% (as of today) of the BTC community want bigger blocks for making BTC future proof at all cost. Unfortunately a hard fork needs to be done to achieve this, and most of the community dislike the idea of a hard fork. Despite all objections from the community and the rest of the core developers Gavin released his stuff and Theymos moved it into the altcoin section (because of it's an alternative blockchain). (Actually at this moment it's only an alternative client, but when 75% of the nodes are running XT the fork will happen.)

That's true. As far as I can remember in the case of bitcoin scrypt they said it can mislead new/ill-informed people and it can mess up real bitcoin wallets as it used the same path. You are right, bitcoinxt doing the same things :). PS. I'm still using a wallet.dat from bitcoin scrypt as a bait on the default path. It's even loaded with a few scryptBTCs ;D. |
