Bitcoin XT only implements bip101 which is for maximum block size increase. Nothing else changes.can please also tell me how much RAM i need for run bitcoind full node on windows 1GB it good ? and how much GB of traffic require a month ? 1gb of ran is not enough. You will need at least 4 if not more.thanks in advance for the reply Help a nob !
