Title: What if nothing happens before 11 January ? Post by: OmegaStarScream on August 21, 2015, 10:40:40 AM So my question is basically .; What's going to happen exactly in case Gavin & Mike hearn fails to implent BitcoinXT , with other words in case they don't have the 75% hashing power before 11 January 2016 What are their plans exactly and why 11 January and not another date ?
If 11 January means anything , does it mean if they fail now they will try on January 2017 once again ? Title: Re: What if nothing happens before 11 January ?

You misunderstood If 75% does not reach before Jan 11 2016, it will keep continues counting the XT blocks. As long as 750 or the last 1000 blocks reach, it will fork within 2 weeks to let the minority to merge. The date is not a finish line, its a starting line.

So basically the only way to stop all the panic going on right now is to follow them ? Satoshi should think seriously on stepping up with a PGP signed message this time ... BitcoinXT wins then , nodes are increasing daily (maybe free hosting trials yeah) but they are having blocks mined aswell and there is no way to stop that :-\ :-\ Thank you for the answer !

BitcoinXT has always been an alt client. Node count does not matter. If miners agree to use XT, then so be it. Having BitcoinXT as a choice is always a nice thing. If the blocksize limit is causing problems, we dont have to wait for a group of ppl to rush out a solution. Title: Re: What if nothing happens before 11 January ? Post by: nero987 on August 21, 2015, 11:24:20 AM I'm wondering if Satoshi is even still alive? :P
With the latest sh*t going on about the block size, i guess he would have allready stepped up with a PGP signed message... Title: Re: What if nothing happens before 11 January ?

Are we a religion now? Just curious what Jesus would have said about homo debate as well. Title: Re: What if nothing happens before 11 January ?

There are so many things that could happen in the mean time(before Jan 2016) The next interesting event, will be when Core developers decide, which BIP they want to implement.

Post by: ZephramC on August 21, 2015, 11:55:54 AM The next interesting event, will be when Core developers decide, which BIP they want to implement. The interesting event just before that might be when someone designs new BIP, which will be acceptable and welcomed both by Core proponents and XT proponents. :) In either way. The debate, whether or not to raise max block size at all, should not be considered over. Title: Re: What if nothing happens before 11 January ? Post by: mamafii on August 21, 2015, 12:00:31 PM may be from many times ago, they " Gavin and Mike" it was thingking about this
and may be the system is have period and the date is 11 January 2016, i dont think so if this will fail, they will try with date and month same, may be can different. Title: Re: What if nothing happens before 11 January ? Post by: zero01 on August 21, 2015, 12:09:40 PM whether it was on January 11th, 2016 they do not have the strength hashing 75%, perhaps they could still advance the month of March or the other, probably dated 11 January 2016 was their target
