what on earth is bitcoinxt? did someone come up with yet another genius idea to save the bitcoin world?
Yep! Exactly that's what happened. Gavin and 3% (as of today) of the BTC community want bigger blocks for making BTC future proof at all cost. Unfortunately a hard fork needs to be done to achieve this, and most of the community dislike the idea of a hard fork. Despite all objections from the comm
unity and the rest of the core developers Gavin released his stuff and Theymos moved it into the altcoin section (because of it's an alternative blockchain). (Actually at this moment it's only an alternative client, but when 75% of the nodes are running XT the fork will happen.)
thanks for the heads up. and theymos' actions was right, bitcoinxt is nothing more than an altcoin at this point. doubt they will see consensus any time soon.
