Bitcoin XT?

[Xialla]

NO.

well, I have to admit, that initially I was big fan of XT..mainly during stress tests, when we saw, what may happen with current block size and how much money/resources it costs.

but after some deeper investigation, I have to agree with some posts above in this thread. XT is for my like windows..and well, I'm not using windows at all. I'm using linux.

Don't even know why the debate is focusing on block size if XT also wants to log IP addresses AND ban TOR. With these new "features" it's no surprise that the likes of coinbase and bitpay are backing XT. Gavin and Hearn could just be figureheads for the real interests behind XT: everyone with an interest in continuing the already active project of centralizing (i.e. destroying) bitcoin.

They have done an excellent job at hiding their true intentions.  Getting the Bitcoin community to destroy what they love...  I thought it would be more difficult.

Then why are the XT camp trying to ban TOR?

They aren't.  It doesn't matter how many times this kind of question is asked, XT still doesn't ban TOR.

You should read up about blacklisting IPs.  If you think XT is about block size and not a power grab for control of the network rules, you are sorely mistaken.

Yea, not sure how you can blacklist IPs without blocking TOR. The whole point of TOR is to mask IP. Anyway, Tor or no Tor the idea of blacklisting IPs is highly suspect. Reminds me of crooked banks wanting to close "high risk" accounts without legal cause.

If you are not sure you stfu.

Objection!  The mob of Gavin fanboys formerly associated with /r/bitcoin is NOT "the Bitcoin community."

Talking about Bitcoin does not make you part of it, not anymore than talking about Hecla makes me a geologist, silver miner, or metallurgist.

forking is bad, we should all remain on the same chain, either as XT or as core, DEVS GET YOUR FCKIN ASSES TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH A SYNTHESIS!

Do you know what does forking even mean?

Bitcoin cannot evolve without forks.

XT is the same chain, and the trigger mechanism of BIP101 secures that a split is pretty much impossible.

So why is everypony selling their bitcoins then if there is nothing to worry about 

...So good traders can make money. 
These things come-and-go all the time, but this one is relatively serious and bitter for some of the participants.

Because everypony with a brain realizes NotXT can be used to mine, thus prematurely activating XT's trigger mechanism.

So a split is very much possible, and in the worst possible (weaponized signals, fog of war) contentious circumstances.

Fuck Heam, the core dev he rode in on, and everyone who has been enabling his anti-cypherpunk agenda.

The most important option, that 99% of bitoin xt fans would use, is missing. "Yes, but only for the bigger blocks. I switch to core when it implements bigger blocks"

This would get the most votes from xt users since i don't know any bitcoiner who likes the other ideas hearn has. He really has dangerous ones.

XT is learning what the altcoin lul is all about lol
