7 blocks is what you call a upsurge? I thought that the definition was something in the lines of 'rapid rise'. This is barely noticeable. No, I'm not trying to start a fight here. Looks like the blocks are found by P2Pool.org (blocktrail used as source). However, it seems that BIP100 is still very strong at above 60%. Interestingly some miners are still sticking with the 8 MB option even though there has been little or no talk about it in the recent times.

I see what you say, yes it has been a little up, however it does not seem to espectacular for me either. Does not surpass the previous end of august values.

maybe the upsurge will be even faster when you have to pay 1 Dollars for one transaction on the bitcoin qt chain

There you go, another one of those threads! And we really haven't had one in a while!

Anyways, I thought Bitcoin XT is dead, what is this upsurge now about all of the sudden?

The thing is, XT will never die unless Core scales properly.

Maybe but i don't see any upsurge. The node count is down trending, the block count is not at any sort of all time high, the drama count board is going down, people are starting to move on. I don't see any problem or much to discuss here beyond this.

The block chain is not required immediately, therefore it will simply not happen. XT will probably truly flatline only when another solution has been implemented but it's not really worth beating a dead horse over and hover imo.

irrelevant.

only 1 block of 100 is ... noticiable.

XT have not be more than 3 block of 100 ... for now.

The highest was never above 1%, so it sound like a fair bet to say XT is out of luck.

The highest on 1000 was 8 blocks on Aug 31. The hash rate come out of nowhere and get those blocks. Then drop to 0, then suddenly go up to 7 super fast now. I'm willing to bet it will die out again soon.

XT is done, that's a sure thing. If there was something to come out of it, that would already show u til now and especially in the beginning, after the release. This is just a dead cat bounce if you ask me. Nothing to worry about anyways.

The value still did not go up since we started this discussion thus it would appear that you are indeed correct. We can safely wait for the next contender to solve the upcoming issue of tx/sec limit.

XT = death of Bitcoin because nodes become centralized.
Therefore Core will need to scale with blockstream, it's our only hope. Yes, it sucks that we cannot have a global blockchain with massive transaction volume including micropayments within the chain but nothing is perfect, so we'll need blockstream or something like that, it's better than having centralized nodes, we already got centralized mining so we don't want that.

Are these real or faked blocks? Can XTnodes now distinguish between both?

Probably fake.  Nobody wants to be the first to bother with the risky shoehorning of XT's eccentricities into their working existing infrastructure.

Get on the cart XT.  It's where you belong.

You too, hearn@sigint.google.mil.

Apparently the blocks weren't tagged as BIP101, as per the following post on that thread. Not sure what to believe anymore, and still not sure if XTnodes can identify legit information from faked information. Anyways, 7 blocks is definitely not an upsurge, so even if it's real support, it's not that much.

But look like its not, even if it found a 8th block, allegedly. Overall average is now dropping because the last 1000 is moving on and the information doesn't seem very substantiated anyways.

Block train says the version report is correct;

But what does that even mean.

Nothing really, with numbers this small. Too bad miners that support the BIP are only showing that on their coinbase and aren't really mining blocks to support their intentions. I was expecting people who want a change and are able to push a change to really back up their sayings.
