Bitcoin has already been forked.  That's where Litecoin, etc. came from.  When you fork Bitcoin's existing economic majority, that by definition creates an alternative economic consensus (regardless of UXTO inheritance and blockchain).

I'm not sure why discussion of this particular new alt isn't in its proper forum here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1115016.0

If BitcoinXT is allowed in the main forum, it's time to start talking about the Bitcoin Scrypt project too!

Since anything with "Bitcoin" in the name goes, let's talk make BitcoinDark threads in the Bitcoin forums as well.

Anything less is censorship, book burning, and the epitome of authoritarianism.
