stop bitcoin xt - it is just another shitaltcoin

apparently bitpay does not think in this way https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1157516.0

we are doomed to choose XT, there is no real choice, no real consensus, the few in disagreement must follow the many at the end

The more I think about it, more I am sure that Gavin didn't sail in just like that into this endeavor of the XT. Now I am starting to think that all was well prepared behind the scenes. He probably knew exactly who to count on and who supports him. He wouldn't put on a line everything if he wasn't close to sure that the XT will prevail!

Of course they knew. Look at this interview from June. Mike hearn claims that they talked with a lot of companies and they agreed with their plan. Around ~50:35

Chinese pools however, have come out against bitcoin XT at large. Chinese pools account for the majority of the hashrate. The blocksize increase won't be triggered unless 75% of the latest 1000 blocks are mined under bitcoinXT.

i dont know what is different bitcoin and bitcoin XT but i have read some issue have some virus and ip tracked. it's mean bitcoin XT under control

Bitcoin Core is Linux - decentralized, consensus-based
Bitcoin XT is Microsoft - spies on you, takes control over your privacy (and funds), blacklists, is closely connected with NSA and CIA

you decide

[harrymmmm]

I'd like to see a double question in a survey like this.
Whether people support xt, and whether they trade/use altcoins. I have a suspicion that would be quite informative.

the real problem will be when bitcoinxt gain 30-40% of the mining bitcoins. Then we will a disaster and that will be the most dangerous momment of bitcoin. I think you dont need to have a 75% of the bitcoin network to create a fork a 51 is enough to run a pararrel system.

BitcoinXT is programmed to fork when 750 of the last 1000 blocks are XT blocks and it is january 11 2016 or later. The fork won't happen until that moment, it won't happen when it is at 51%. Of course, with NotBitcoinXT, then it could happen earlier and then both BTC and XT are going to die when there is a fork without consensus.

Gavin and Mike are such shitlords.   

If you thought Litecoin and altcoins dilute the value of Bitcoin, wait til you see what BTCXT does to the price! Actually, the market is already giving us a hint as to why BitcoinXT is such a bad idea.

A more responsible option would have been to set the trigger threshold at a real super majority of 90% miner vote. If it was set at 90%, the chance of a bad fork would be far less likely. But Mike & Gavin knows that there's no way they can get 90% support, so they would rather risk hurting Bitcoin in order to get their way. Mike has even mention using checkpoints to force the issue if XT doesn't get the hashrate majority (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1089283.0). That is scary.

I can bet that in the next days and coinbase will be in the club of bitcoinXT fork. We must remember that both of them Bitpay and coinbase has apply for bitlicence...

It is until it has the 75% it needs to kick in.

Whichever core devs are part of xt have in my eyes left bitcoin core and foundation and are now in the altcoin world. There is no going back for them.

What makes you think they left? Maybe they are just trying to force the issue mired in political gridlock.

thats not how bitcoin work. "forcing" anything is unacceptable.

may gavin's access to core be revoked so he can launch his altcoin with his buddies at MIT.

There is no forcing. That's what you don't get unless you are deliberately trolling.

shut up you ignorant shill. of course that's forcing somehow.

Yeah unless you meant "the market is forcing for a consensus to finally move forward". Than I agree.
