good idea but too disruptive. develop tools which support make sure all transactions happens in all forks - 1 (50%)
bad idea. core and its team should control bitcoin forever - 0 (0%)

i am wondering what people think about classic/xt like forks for changes made to the protocl.
Please dont make a blocksize or Gavinista debate out of this

personally i think its a good idea. but i would like to see some dev-support for it (eg make sure any transaction happens in all forks until one clearly wins - even if that means that coinbase tx are unspent for a while; this could be fixed by using merged mining).

for me bitcoin should be decentralized. this includes development.
IMHO to allow and support forks like this seem to be the only way to avoid dev-centralization

yes, they may cause some market-confusion. but IMHO (again) this could be fixed by tools.

what do you think?

bad idea, i want that they simply focus on the main subject here, the block limit, nothing else, all the other features can be added in another time or anyway they can be added in core

actually classic is still core, every oen of those fork is core, they just changed the name at will, because they want to say "we have made this", which is stupid for a decentralized project like bitcoin

you are right that it is important for them to focus on core.
do you have any suggestion how difficult blockchain protocol changes can be proposed without all that hate and FUD we see right now?

IMHO that hurts bitcoin more than anything else did.
