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).

What is stopping you from making a Reddit for XT? What ENTITLES XT to a right to be in the forum main sections? Like I said earlier, this is nothing more than an altcoin namejacking Bitcoin. Infinitecoin had the SAME issue with "Infinitecoin 2" which was later renamed Colossuscoin after public protest. The developer of that coin tried to use many of the same arguments I see here for XT. This is a game they have played before in the altcoin scene, now they have just decided to use this strategy on a bigger target. This whole idea is carefully crafted to leverage peoples ignorance of the protocol to divide the community in the hopes they will find enough ignorant people to sign on with them thinking they are supporting something genuine. Don't be fooled, this is an attack on Bitcoin.

The name of the game is a death of a thousand cuts. If it works once they will do it over and over and over until the community is completely divided and ripping the infrastructure apart. Real distributed consensus comes down to who has the better code, not if they have access to all the main information outlets. If XT is really better, it doesn't matter one bit where people post about it. THAT is how real open source works, not these namejacking political semantics games we are seeing used to try to leverage the launch of XT.

As far as the bolded part, you never engage in that kind of behavior now do you?

Agree to this.

Remember Panda coin? At some point was there 3 Panda coins. The first one. Then one made to battle that scammer-pump-n-dumper who made the first one (forgot his name, think he was asian). Then a third one to replace the two previous coin. Nobody know which Panda coins they where holding or mining....... at the exchange they where called PND, PAN and PANDA.

The moral of this.... panda completly died because of this confussion. A am affraid the same could happen with bitcoin. Would proberly not be long before some make a bitcoin XT2 or Bitcoin TX. Then will the confusion be complete, nobody would know which shit coin they just bought on local bitcoins.

Namejacking, that is exactly the word I was looking for (thanks tech-guy). They should have called it LargerBlockCoin (LBC) instead, at least that would have been easy to understand.
