here was an interesting quote that sums up theymos' recent actions:
"Bitcoin XT is a hard fork of bitcoin, which means that it is a candidate for actual bitcoin, and thus equally deserving of discussion. The only reason to censor information about it is to assert your own opinion on the matter."

Are all those his confirmed accounts?
Admin supposedly claimed those are likely alt accounts of woodcollector.

people do not accept change very quickly nor easily.
Bitcoin offers a lot of change to those who want to accept it.
Old banking systems were obsolete the day that bitcoin was thought up and put into code and run.

Funny. What does the QR code link to?
I do find it fascinating that you're more likely to be immortalized with unique products around here by pulling scams than creating useful services.
The QR code is a link to his EXIT thread.. the one where he buried treasure..... Did anyone ever find his buried treasure? I doubt there was a treasure to begin with. It was a grasp for attention and to give reason to sell more products because of this phantom "treasure".

don't take it too seriously....the whole idea is a joke. If you can profit from a joke...i say go for it. Especially if it is at the expense of a scammer. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

What makes you think merchants won't switch to xt if the majority of miners mine on xt and not on core?
Would it not be in the merchant's best interest to accept coins on the chain that is more time efficient?
Coins being sent on the old chain would be super slow. Can't see why merchants would not switch of the majority of miners processing transactions moved to xt.
A chain with fewer miners is not more efficient. It is more secure, though there would be very few things that could attack even 25% of the network's hashing power. Blocks would be slower (25 minutes on average instead of 10), but this would only last for a few weeks until the difficulty goes down. Even today it's common for blocks to take 25-60 minutes, so this wouldn't be Earth-shattering. This wouldn't actually last for long in the scenario where 75% of miners switch but no big economic actors do because the miners who switched will switch back very soon after they realize that they're mining coins that no one will accept. Smoothie has already switched over, so XT miners will always be able to trade their XTcoins for silver and Hawaiian real estate, no problem. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) LOL just because I switched doesn't mean I will accept payment on a fork. The outcome remains to be seen once the blockchain forks. Any merchant accepting payment on a fork before consensus has been made is retarded. I support bigger blocks that's the only reason I switched. If the network decides against larger blocks I will then switch back to core.

This is of course assuming that ZERO merchants choose to accept XT fork coins. That has yet to be seen. No one knows that. Should be interesting to see what exchanges/businesses do when some accept XT and some dont (assuming that scenario plays out).

why does the user have to turn these "features" off?
That is a huge red flag.
It ask during the installation process if you want certain features on and it is a toggle switch, of course the default will be on so they can gather more data. Just because a politician says they will do something does that mean they will? How is that any different just because a piece of software "asks" you if you want something done that it actually will do it? Agenda supersedes functionality in today's day in age. It's better to be cynical (and wrong) than to be robbed and out of pocket while trusting.

Negative 500btc. Meaning you pay someone to take the account off your hands. Please keep up. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) This is going to be fun. Took some digging but I just realized that you were one of the main guys that WoodCollector trolled. I'll be back in a bit after I have time to dig through the entire post history to pick up where he left off. Better clear your calender, I'm going to keep you glued to this machine for weeks. Yup don't address the subject...avoid it. Have fun reading because you won't find much to post about that I would give two shits about responding to lol.

"1. First they ignore you 2. then they laugh at you 3. then they fight you, then you win." At what point are we at? 1, 2, or 3? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I think a version by ElectricMucus fits better: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they keep laughing, then they start choking on their laughter, and then they go and catch their breath. Then they start laughing even more. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Not much credibility behind that quote. lol I wasn't quoting a forum user. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

If there ever as a fork to XT (consensus majority) it would be interesting to see how the exchange rates (assuming they are not all on XT or core) would be. I can see an XT or core whale dumping their coins on an exchange that supports the opposite chain to the whale's liking. Price volatility is in our future. Unlike how it has been in the past. Interesting times. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
