But I don't agree that 75% of hashrate or whatever is network consensus.
I predict that miners won't (vote to) change unless there is network consensus.I honestly hope so.
If XT is so great, no one should have to sell it to anyone, people will just switch.
There is avast difference to discussing XT vs "selling" XT to users.
Kind of hard to discuss it if reddit moderators keep deleting posts/threads related to XT and moving XT discussion to alt coin section of this forum.
People can only switch if there is enough discussion about XT.
They won't just wake up one day and go "i'll with go to xtnodes.com and download the latest client" without anyone previously mentioning it on a forum etc.
Ultimately users will choose what they want in the end.
All of this back and forth is drama and kiddy BS. Pick a stance and stick to it without the ad hominem or personal attacks (<----directed at those going out of their way to bash others).
You can discuss proposals to change the Bitcoin main chain, but a forked chain that is not also the main chain is an altchain and not truly Bitcoin.

Discussion of hardforks is not silenced. That's why a possible hardfork has been discussed ad nauseam on /r/Bitcoin for the past few months. XT-specific submissions are removed because XT is not Bitcoin.

Um did he just contradict himself?
Hardforks are not silenced yet XT is a hard-fork implementation of bitcoin when certain conditions are met. Some time down the road.
Therefore XT should not be silenced.
Currently (as of right now) XT is Bitcoin as it operates seamlessly with the bitcoin network.
I love the logic fails even by Theymos.
Sidechains, blockstream, and lightning network are not bitcoin yet they are allowed to be discussed on reddit/r/bitcoin
Is this a case of selective censorship?
Is running x code programmed to change to y code the same as running x code that isn't programmed to change to y code?
Your examples of sidechains etc. run on Bitcoin and don't require forks to Bitcoin if I'm not mistaken. They're kinda like satoshidice maybe?
Yes with certain conditions that would only allow it to change.
Block stream and lightning network are not Bitcoin either yet it is allowed to be discussed.
