Just read Mike Hearn's blog post about Bitcoin XT

[Mountain Jew]

He's making a lot of sense.

Nonsense.

Mods need to create a section of the forum dedicated solely to XT. This is getting ridiculous now, there must be 20 threads a day regurgitating the same stuff. It's getting really, really boring now.
Theymos, Bad Bear what say you?

Good idea. A Sub-forum would be a good idea.

I think it's a little early for its own sub. Could die before it even gets off the ground and I think alt coin section is fine as is for now.

Nonsense.

I was against increasing the block size for a while but I find Hearn's arguments convincing. But let me qualify that by stating that this is under the assumption that the facts he presented are correct - I haven't really dug into it because I've been out of bitcoin for a while now.

Bank transfers can take as long as 5 to 8 business days.  Bitcoin is still infinitely faster than the orthodox banking institution.  

 It is wrong to compare Bitcoin with something like Credit Cards, as that is technically payment processing.  It's up to BitPay and future Bitcoin payment processing to figure out a mechanism to rival or exceed the utility of the credit card.

The BitcoinFX, although it has support from prominent persons, may in fact be "Lipstick on a Pig".  Don't try to turn the pig into a goat.  Keep Bitcoin as it is.
