Either most of the XT followers here are not aware of these things or are being stubborn and ignorant at the same time. You have no idea how easy it is to manipulate the members of this forum. While the main story is related to the block size, this is what XT currently consists of:
  • Automatic blacklisting controlled by the Tor project (AFAIK without their consent).
  • Buggy block size validation.
  • Lighthouse slave support.
  • Incomplete/buggy double spend detection.

If this was a Hearn vs theymos thread, I'd have to question the sanity of everyone on Hearns side. Theymos did nothing wrong. This is a privately owned forum (i.e. theymos is letting you play in his backyard), and you're just lucky that some stricter person isn't calling the shots (else most XT supporters would be banned by now for constantly breaking the rules).

Can you imagine if Hearn was the sysop here instead of thermos?  I would be banhammered into the next galaxy!

Thermos is so chill, it makes the "zomg censorship what's next, book burnings and lists?" hyperbole way too funny.   Cheesy

Thermos adapts to the needs of the community. How the community resonates with how he adapts, that's a different story.

The technician, developer class would destroy all communication into an esoteric Gentoo-realm that no common man could understand, as they would not budge in the face of user backlash: They would force all changes down everyone's throat, Linux style.

It is a miracle that The Guardian even covers Bitcoin in its current spiritual state. The press would ignore Bitcoin if the developers controlled the community due to the vocabulary likely being reduced to unintuitive mash in such a scenario.

Dear iCEBREAKER,

I am your biggest fan and want to write your biography.


OK, you can buy the book rights for 100 BTC (paid in Monero).
