Bitcoin XT is a poison pill for all the newbs and unwary, certain bug fix commits that went into Core have already been omitted. Both Hearn and Andresen have been covertly anti-privacy from day zero, paying it only lip service when pressed. Don't trust it. Not to mention it is poorly maintained and totally untested. I can't believe I'm reading such a mad approach being championed on these pages ... it's like a twilight zone episode wtf are you people thinking !!! following Pied Pipers now?
wish there was a thanks button on BCT
same with me
It's not that black and white, I think everyone has learned more since the bad idea of "green" listing and being able to use money to track child porn.
Those stupid ideas are not death sentences, they are warning signals they are examples of why we need to constantly pay attention to maintain Bitcoin.
Gavin and Mike have moved on it seems and so long as I'm not the benevolent dictator Mike H would like I'm happy to see debate and the majority direct Bitcoin.
My understand is flexible and I won't hesitate to drop XT if it's moving in the direction of adding tracking features and educate the majority.
