So what??? It seems they are doing the best job at bitcoin development anyway. Has it ocurred to you XT shills that improving bitcoin is in their best interest?

It's strange isn't it, as soon as Hearn and gang begin to push their changes, the health of bitcoin begins to deteriorate. They're doing it for your own good though! It's got to get worse before it gets better, right?!

Save it by destroying it.

The gullible are living in Bitcoin vs Paypal, VISA, MC payment lala-land and they help them out with their agenda.

Eventually the masses of users will become careless enough and they will succeed. Even if XT fails, XT2 or XT3 will succeed in taking down bitcoin. Sad

I think you have a bias because of the naming. If Gavin just decided to put 8mb blocks in core, and then Greg Maxwell released a fork with 1 mb, that might be called Bitcoin-B (for blockstream). And people would be calling it gregcoin with as much hate as 'gavincoin'.

Anyway, I don't recall advocating XT in this thread. I asked the question of how blockstream will profit, which apparently no one can answer.

Of course no one here knows exactly how Blockstream plans to make a profit because no one here works in the Blockstream team. There are probably more ways than I can count but that doesn't really matters. What matters is the conflict of interest that these developers shouldn't have put themselves into in the first place.
