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?

1. I believe there is a reddit for XT already. But what entitles mods to censor discussion of XT which is directly related to bit coin? Oh right nothing. If XT is an altcoin then Core is also an altcoin as it differs from the original implementation satoshi released right? lol

2. My behavior related to this situation has been appropriate. If you want to bring up drama from years ago, go right ahead. You obviously shouldn't be the one to talk given you were removed from the default trust list on this very forum for your questionable behavior.

XT operates just like bit coin as of right now so NO it is not an alt coin.

Litecoin is an alt coin.

I guess side chains are alt coins too right? They shouldn't be discussed on reddit and are not directly related to bitcoin right? Please spare me the hypocrisy.
