Each and every one of us chooses what to install and when.  When further changes are made in XT, Core, or any other version of the Bitcoin software, each of us may decide whether to adopt those changes.

My main concern at this point is centralization, and I'm wondering if my concerns are legitimate or just paranoia. How easy would it be for BitcoinXT to roll out more changes? Would a fork be required for each change?

Also would a bitcoin blacklist need a fork or can they just do it with the current Bitcoin XT. A blacklist for bitcoin addresses absolutely mortifies me since that power can be used to destroy the assets of anyone they choose. Imagine if the government got control of the blacklist, bitcoin would be ruined.

For someone who spoke so loudly against BitcoinXT, you keep showing everyone here your lack of knowledge on the subject.

As the old saying, the stupidest of the room speaks the loudest.


You jumped on the bandwagon without a slightest clue did you?

It will be as easy as it is now.

I think a blacklist can be implemented in an individual base... Some miners (can) specifically blacklist transactions without using a particular client.

Well I guess this is what everyone are afraid off. If they can bully on us XT, then they will be able to bully on us any other change that they want or desire.

Having XT replacing a core would set a precedent in my opinion and that's why is so important that this fork doesn't happen. I want bigger blocks but I don't want the XT.

 XT story is silly. It's always possible to use other forks if you want fast transactions. Let's maintain bitcoin as the industry standart.
