the difference between the Bitcoin-XT client and Bitcoin-XT network/currency

[redsn0w]

This is because the staff consider the bitcoin-XT currency to be an altcoin

They are correct. Bitcoin XT is not altcoin yet, but will be when hardfork of bitcoin will inevitably occur as a result of larger block size accepted in future!

Exactly. So why censor it now? Right now I can download the Bitcoin-Xt client, import my wallet from Bitcoin Core and spend my coins at merchants that use Bitcoin Core. So obviously isn't an altcoin client right now, its a usable Bitcoin client just like any other. Doesn't make sense to censor it now becuase it will become an altcoin client in the future.

Just to note by they way that my opinion is that I am for larger blocks (or a abolition of a blocksize limit altogether). However I am totally against Bitcoin-XT and they way certain developers are trying to change the blocksize. People are being mislead into believing Bitcoin-XT is different from any other altcoin such as litecoin, it really isn't different. I also think that they should remove the "bitcoin" part from the name as this is a huge part of the confusion. Mark Karpeles used to own the trademark for the term "Bitcoin" in the US I believe, maybe he should have his lawyers look into the misuse of this trademark.

Nobody prevents you for making your own forum and call it bitcoinXTtalk.org.

Then can you freely discuss bitcoin XT and move all the threads about bitcoin into the altcoin section.

Untill then, please keep the talk about bitcoin XT outside the bitcointalk.org forum.
Thanks.

I can't understand why? if bitcoinXT is an alt ... then it is still possible to discuss about it here (bitcointalk.org). Sincerely BitcoinXT is like Fedoracoin during the Litcoin 'fork'.

I think the way everyone is split is toxic to Bitcoin and only hurts it. Hiding the debate into the "shit coin" section here does not help either.

XT is a shit coin and nobody is hiding it. The "debate" about the block size is just a cover up to conceal hidden agenda.

yes. But I do need to use glases when at the computer. My suggestion was more a respond to the part about:

I agree should have modified the quote or bolded out the parts I was refering to.

There was a thread moved some weeks ago and since i wasn't happy with that, because of the reasons pointed out in this thread, i asked theymos and he explained that he only told the moderators to move those threads ONCE bitcoin xt forked. But it should not happen now.

It seems he wrote that misunderstandable so some moderators misinterpreted it.

So i wonder if this was an error or if theymos changed his standing on that.
