I contribute resources to the bitcoin network by running my home computer as a node. I switched to running an XT node some weeks ago. I think changes from Bitcoin Core not related to a block size increase should be kept to a minimum at least until the dust settles, however. Either way, running an XT node is just my way of signaling to the world that as a longtime Bitcoin user I support block limit increases above the current cap of 1 MB.

You're also signalling (albeit indirectly) that you support Mike Hearn as "benevolent" dictator and sole commiter of Bitcoin.
