it seems the avg Bitcoiner can't bear to hear or even discuss "possible" messy scenarios as Mike is quite rightfully willing to do.
It's pretty clear that Mike doesn't understand what an economic majority means. If you have the economic majority, you don't need to enforce a "technical mess" to
fix anything.
I still don't understand how anyone interested in Bitcoin can support anything associated with Hearn after hearing anything the guy has to say, unless they actually want to turn Bitcoin into something completely unrecognizable.
I'm not completely opposed to bigger blocks, but I am completely opposed to BitcoinXT and anything Hearn.
I am not in support of such an action where miners in china are essentially shunned by the "economic majority".
I tend to think the miners (all of them around the world) make up a big part of the economic majority as they help facilitate the transactions.
So if Hearn is thinking along the lines of doing that some day (I would not support it). The only way I support XT is through actual consensus, not forced consensus.
