"Node war" possible with spoofed version strings?

[spin]

Another way to spot bitcoinxt nodes is with the service flag.  Returned via getpeerinfo.
They return a different service flag (3 if I recall).  This is related to some of the other changes in XT not related to the blocksize debate.
Don't think it will spot the bitcoin core + 101 nodes (i.e. not XT nodes) as they don't have that service flag.

I am not a fan of XT, and I don't like how the devs are fighting.
However I do expect that NotXT will backfire.

So much for your expectation that NotXT will backfire.

It worked like a charm!  XT is deader than disco.

The devs were right to fight the Gavinista attempted governance coup, regardless of your sanctimonious disapproval.

The only thing that backfired was your crystal-ball gazing.

Are you sure that it worked? Just because XT is pretty much dead doesn't mean that NotXT did its job. Can you provide proof that XT died due to this? And NotXT didn't necessarily do its job either.

tsoPANos' claim was "NotXT will backfire."

Where is the evidence NotXT backfired?

If NotXT backfired, wouldn't XT still be alive?

I'm sorry you missed the memorable spectacle of NotXT completely demoralizing the already beleaguered Gavinistas (in their hour of greatest need).

It was hilarious.

All time history of XT nodes. (Pretty dull)

While NotXT didn't backfire, you cannot say that just because XT died that that was due to NotXT. You cannot substantiate that claim. XT could have died for a number of other reasons, not  because if NotXT

Thanks for admitting you were wrong about NotXT backfiring.

I didn't say XT died solely due to NotXT.  But you have fun tearing apart the strawman who said NotXT killed XT all by itself!

Thanks for admitting you were wrong about NotXT backfiring.

Yes, I do admit that I was wrong (I am not an egotistic bastard who thinks he's always right  ). But of course, things didn't happen the way that I though they would when I made that assumption. I figured that it would backfire if a large number of people began running NotXT, which didn't happen.

We don't know what percentage of self-reported XT nodes are fake.  Maybe 99% of "XT" nodes were/are spoofed!   

That's the point of it existing.  The Gavinistas had no good way to tell them apart.  That's why I said NotXT "worked like a charm."  It fulfilled its function of FUD creation, which by definition (the Uncertainty and Doubt in FUD) precludes us from knowing the exact or even rough percentages involved.
