The Bitcoin Schism Shows the Genius of Open Source

Mike Hearn is one of the primary engineers behind bitcoin, the digital currency that aims to remake our financial system. Or at least he used to be. Over the weekend, Hearn told the world that he and a group of other coders were forking the bitcoin project, creating an alternate version of the software that underpins the digital currency.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Yup, this arguments going to sort itself out one way or another. Meanwhile, get ready for even more FUD and outright lies. It's the only option available to the anti-XT guys and just makes Hearn and Gavin look in the right.
