The new Bitcoin-XT client - which essentially forks the Bitcoin block chain - has been the subject of much controversy in recent weeks in the Bitcoin community. So much so that coverage has leaked into the mainstream media causing wild fluctuations in the Bitcoin price. Some do not consider BXT to be Bitcoin. Instead, they paint it as an alt-coin.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

As of this post, only 14.6% of all nodes are running Bitcoin XT, which given Mike's persistent push to put it everywhere, is a bit of an embarrassment, to say the least.

Perhaps he rubbed people the wrong way by pushing the issue, his own "weapons of mass destruction moment" ala the Bush presidency, where dramatic lies were needed to feed an agenda. Luckily, people aren't idiots, so they see through his overly dramatic charade.

Or perhaps it was the glaring omission of potential IP blacklisting and Tor node handling that got him into trouble. In any event, all I'm seeing so far is a programmer that should stick to his own projects, and keep his gums from flapping in the near future.
