A simple poll: The future of Bitcoin block size

[ArticMine]

I voted for XT. Gavin's proposal is not perfect but it is good enough. The reality is that Bitcoin needs to scale in order to remain relevant; furthermore while this endless debate rages on technology keeps growing at a rate faster than what is being proposed in XT.

If Bitcoin does not deal with the scaling issue soon another coin will step up to the plate and make this debate moot by making both the Core and XT forks worthless.

Let's be honest here, I haven't voted.

I just don't know what to choose. Sorry but I'm not enough of a techie to make a clear choice. I've been using BTC for 3 years, I've been writing many posts here and elsewhere, but that doesn't mean I'm fully qualified to decide about what's best for the future of technology. This isn't a free vote. Very few people fully understands what's at stake here, and I'm not one of them. I think I know what's good for BTC: faster confirmations, the ability to handle a growing number of transactions per second, etc... But I can't say what's the best tech to achieve those aims. And I'm surprised there's so many people who think they have the knowledge to answer.

I am very surprised to see that XT is winning. I know this is not a lot of votes but still. I thought that majority of people here supports bigger blocks but not the XT.

I don't know what to say, but it seems there will be a lot of drama about this XT thing in the near future!

This thread has alots more votes , so you can see general censensus of the community : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68655.31220

Too bad Thermos censor it and lock it. Its the largest thread of the forum too.

Bold. This is the scary part.

A simple question: Does  Bitcoin XT change anything according to the limit of 21.000.000 ?

no, blocksize limit has nothing to do with bitcoin rewards.

So has everyone made their opinion known? 49 people on this thread...about 500 on this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68655.31200) and the majority for both is to move to XT.

I guess that's all there is to discuss about it? (Now, what's the Dollar doing today?)

Bitcoin Core will stay, but before a fork takes place will implement bigger blocks...

I hope you're right.

I'll have you know that I (and my army of alt accounts) have not voted in any of these polls. They are meaningless.

There doesn't need to be a fork.

Assuming there's no fork, I think having both clients is good to decentralize development.

That said, since XT includes support for Bip101 and Core provides nothing
in the way of scalability, I was forced to vote for XT.
