There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

I voted for XT because it has a more modern feel and Satoshi hand-picked Gavin.

xt for me too, i'm with Gavin on this, because the fork is needed, and there are no better alternative for now, also others dev should provide at least their reason for not accepting the upgrade

I like the idea that XT progressively increases the blocksize limit, but I think it would be better to fix core instead of switching entirely. However I need more information comparing the two. It would be nice if someone could post a quick comparison table between core and xt so everyone knows what they are voting for.

So wait at what price will XT start at 0? and will the specifications be just like Bitcoin apart from its block size?

apparently it has only two new features which are getutxo and double spend relay enhancements. and Core was not the original name also, XT is returning more to the QT path as a name... |

Gavin Andresen is Bitcoin. How could anyone vote against him?

Factually incorrect. Unfortunately, people will never learn the truth. Handing Gavin the paper doesn't mean anything other than handing him the paper. Gavin likes to think he was "chosen" by Satoshi, which is not true. |

Before I cast my vote, I need to know more about XT. In which language it is written ? Where do I get to see the source code ? Who are the people in control of the source code ?

XT is a fork of Bitcoin Core. It is written in C/C++ and the code is located at https://github.com/bitcoinxt/bitcoinxt. Mike Hearn is in control of the code and possibly Gavin now too. I might switch, if I knew what the differences between Core and XT are. Also, XT is very behind on updates to Core and it hasn't been updated in over 5 months. |

OK was able to find more info on the github page: https://github.com/bitcoinxt/bitcoinxtBitcoin XT is a patch set on top of Bitcoin Core, with a focus on upgrades to the peer to peer protocol.
1. Relaying of double spends.
2. Support for querying the UTXO set given an outpoint.
Bitcoin XT is more experimental than Bitcoin Core, and has a strong emphasis on supporting the needs of app developers and merchants. By running it you not only provide additional services to the network but help build confidence in the implementations, contributing towards consensus for inclusion in a future version of Bitcoin Core.
XT uses the same data directories as Core so you can easily switch back and forth. |

I am also with the XT 'version' ... I have never been in a fork so I do not know what it will happen but I am sure a lot of people will lose a lot of 'real' money. Let's see what it will happen after the complete migration and the new blocksize of 20 MB.

Everybody will keep their money unless someone is stupid and decides to use an incompatible version. I'm not so secure of this thing  , this is what I am thinking that it will be a chaos. |

That way you won't lose any money and you will be able to see whether it works or not. I will not lose my money because I will convert all my bitcoin to another altcoin or maybe better convert them to € or $ (this in my opinion is the most reasonable thing to do, or maybe also hold and hope to be in the right chain). I'm not so secure of this thing
An overwhelming majority of Bitcoin users (both in total numbers and economically) is in favour of Gavin's proposal. With my "I'm not so secure of this thing" I wanted to say that I lot of people will not keep their money and it will cause themselves a damage also if they are in favour of the Gavin's proposal (because they will not know what they should do). |

They can lose money if they buy one of these coins (Bitcoin or XT/GavinCoin) after the fork happens in the case that the one they buy doesn't make it.... Also, if it tanks the price of both coins from fear and uncertainty... then you won't be able to buy as much with what you have as you used to. I will not lose my money because I will convert all my bitcoin to another altcoin or maybe better convert them to € or $ (this in my opinion is the most reasonable thing to do, or maybe also hold and hope to be in the right chain).
Also everyone deciding to sell their Bitcoin before the fork, may tank the price... and people who keep their money in Bitcoin could lose value for their coins too. |
