So basically you are perfectly comfortable with the fact that a private company hires most of the Core devs? Honest question.
Are you jealous you're not hired by Blockstream? Honest question. Side chains is a brilliant concept for forking bitcoin protocol. It is the only approach to change bitcoin without putting at risk everything achieved so far!

XT are going up, btc price is going down.
Yup, people have voted with their bitcoin wallets with a big NO to XT alt coin.
|
|
|
Core devs are invested in blockstream, without a block limit their project is pretty useless
Without a block limit the whole bitcoin project is pretty useless.

If there is so little significant support for XT, what are you afraid of? I'm not personally afraid of XT altcoin. What I am afraid of is the level of coordination of current attack. XT crap is just a small portion of it.

A higher capacity system will be a lot more expensive to spam. I can't help you, if you don't understand this.
I understand everything. You have a guy whose problem is being too dependent on marijuana. To keep him calm and under control your temporary solution is to give him heroin. That's the XT altcoin "solution".

EDIT: And yes, I trust Gavin more than Wladimir.
In general I don't trust those core devs that couple of years ago were vocally or silently opposing translation of Satoshi client GUI into Farsi coming up with the argument that there are sanctions in place from the US government against Iran. If you like to trust such people, well, good luck with your choice. The FUD is strong in this one, lol! The ultimate argument, lol!

I aggree it's kicking the can down the road. It's a temporary solution to a problem that can become significant next year.
A temporary solution that makes problem it pretends to solve even worse is not a solution at all. It changes this problem from temporary to chronic. No. Why do you believe that? It's obvious.

After the sell off support for XT fork has evaporated. XT alcoin is basically dead. Mike and Gavin have lost their credibility and will not be accepted as core devs anymore. Question is: can they harm bitcoin in any other way?
You are a pessimist and a pessimist is a not well informed optimist. If you think Mike and Gravin are idiots then Satoshi is a retard to.. I'm optimist and I believe bitcoin's future is bright. Mike and Gavin are not idiots. They are just tools in the hands of their masters.

Higher fees don't remove the upper limit of 7 transactions per second. Is that so hard to understand?
Neither does XT altcoin. Is that so hard to understand?

Would absolutely love for the core dev team to get on-board with bigger blocks and I'm sure most other people would too. Now that their bluff has been called, maybe we'll see them implement something.
There is no need for bigger block size. There is no need to increase the size of blocks every time we get near the limit. There is no need for free money transfers for everyone. Everything that is free for the users but not free for the manufacturers will be abused in every possible way. That is a basic rule for every economy!!! Blockchain will be cluttered with spam and bitcoin will become worthless. Everyone should get accustomed to the idea that they have to compete with higher fees to get included in a block. XT altcoin gives no solution to this at all. It just kicks the can down the road in the most irresponsible way!

BitcoinXT is like Bitcoin but now with added free NSA support. After this crash XT altcoin is basically dead.

I know that many people here are libertarians, and I know that they will really hate me for saying this, but I don't wish to live in a world where crime is considered the price or the cost of financial freedom, why not have both security and financial freedom at once? Bitcoin gives you both security and financial freedom at once. Still most of the crime in this world is paid in US dollars. Not happy until 100% of the crime is paid in US dollars? You feel safer with US dollars paid crime? Nobody is going to hate you for what you're saying. What is the point of hating a slave? You are harmless.

Well, I said this few years ago, Bitcoin is not BitTorrent, bitcoin is a financial instrument and will be heavily regulated, you can try to fight it now, but you like or not, these things will eventually happen...
Bitcoin is not a financial instrument. Bitcoin is money. Gold is money too, not a financial instrument. Good luck regulating gold... and bitcoin. Some people tend to forget: "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" Satoshi Nakamoto Cash is NOT a financial instrument! And never will be... hopefully!

many don't understand that the new code in XT will be active only if 75% of the network actually runs it
And many don't understand that the 75% is not of the network but of the mining pools. And this can be easily manipulated! Anyway, XT altcoin fork is dead now. Block size debate was just a cover up now revealing hidden agenda to introduce among bitcoin users the XT client that is simply an IP logger and blacklist aggregator!

1BTC = 2BTC soon
After this crash XT fork is basically dead. I doubt Core devs will even discuss whatever block size increase now.
|
|
|
Are NSA XT altcoin supporters happy now? Not yet? Crash was not so big as expected?
|
|
|
The "moderation" going on is frankly disgusting. How the hell can any compromise happen if you use force make the opposing side of the debate just shut up?
Nobody is censoring you. You're free to register bitcoinxttalk.org and discuss XT altcoin in every way you like.
