Do people still support this thing? I thought it was clear now that the changes proposed in Bitcoin XT would centralize nodes to a ridiculous unnecessary level. It has been tested that 2 MB is the best we can do for now, 8 is just nonsense, not to mention Hearn's involvement in R3 and all the anti-Tor stuff.

Bitcoin Unlimited is a fork from Core.  The similarity it shares with XT is just that it too sets the version bits in the block headers to vote for BIP101.  However, BU nodes will accept blocks > 1 MB today; while XT nodes won't accept blocks > 1 MB until 2 weeks after 750 of the last 1000 blocks vote for BIP101.

According to Introducing Bitcoin Unlimited BU is Bitcoin XT without BIP101. Are you saying that BIP101 is still a part of Bitcoin Unlimited? If so this would appear to be a new approach to achieve BIP101 by encouraging miners to run a Bitcoin Unlimited full node, not realizing that running a BU node is also a vote for XT. Bitcoin XT has already been rejected by miners, so now users are being lobbied directly?

Bitcoin Unlimited is Bitcoin Core without BIP101.

It does have some new and advanced features which enable it to transcend the requirement for a universal (top-down) block size limit. Therefore a BU user can decide to have their node emulate Bitcoin Core 1MB or remain compatible with Bitcoin XT and BIP101.

Hi Peter,

If Bitcoin Unlimited is based on Core how can it accept blocks greater than 1 MB today? Is not the 1 MB limit hard coded thus requiring a hard fork to increase? Thanks!
