i don't want it to be called XT its i want Core with a different version number thats all
i don't want it to increase blocklimit by much, increasing block limit is both necessary and controversial, i believe we will achieve consensus
It needs to be enlarged but not to 8mb, the only question is when is bitcoins blocks going to be made bigger and how? This is the problem and I think xt was just trying to solve this by taking the initiative.
bottom line is increasing the limit to 20MB wouldn't be a very big deal, XT wants to increase it enough so this limit never becomes an issue again, because its so hard to get poeple to agree everytime the issue comes up.
but with the above proposed solution, they could increase it to 2MB right away pretty sure everyone would agree to that, and a year later if its still an issue because sidechain and or blockstream isn't all it's cracked up to be, just do it again and let the community vote to increase it again maybe this time the community will want to see 8MB block with a set rate of increase so we never see this issue again.
point is its not up to the devs to decide which options is best at which time, let the boss (the community) make that determination, believe it or not it will be easier to get 90% of the entire community to pick one option then to have 9/10 devs agree (that is in fact what gavin is banking on)
