They really should have kept the difference between XT and Core the same EXCEPT the size limit. This Mike Hearn guy seems to get everybody's feathers ruffled on a regular basis like he's feeding on the fallout.

You asked, they delivered. Core + BIP 101 only.

I guess they caught on the people's mood. I'd still go for BIP100 now, but with this we could stop the XT Flaming.

Sorry, but I had to chuckle at that one. Would be nice if that was the end of it, but I don't think that's how it works. What happens is that someone finds a way to take something perfectly innocent and then twists it into the most vile and horrid thing imaginable, then plasters it all over the boards to cause a panic. The so-called "blacklist code" was never actually an issue, but they found a way to turn it into one because they wanted an issue. If they genuinely believed the code was an issue, they'd have simply asked for that particular code to be removed, but they didn't. It's the fork itself they actually disapprove of and they have to attack it in any way they can. Now that the big-blocks-only patch is available, they'll just find another molehill to transform into the worlds tallest mountain and start kicking up a load of undue fuss about that instead.

It'll still be "gavincoin" this and "altcoin" that, just with newer and lamer excuses. This is the internet, the flaming doesn't stop. Roll Eyes

Indeed. You would think that Jamie Dimon had paid a bunch of JPMorgan Chase interns to "go disrupt that bitcoin thing" given the quality of arguments that have been tossed around.
