Re: Bitcoin XT has code which downloads your IP address to facilitate blacklisting
Yes, the only "XT" blocks mined thus far are actually from a FakeXT node. Slush must be a gambler! 
So much for canth's pompous "I for one don't believe" opinion.
Apparently, nobody (especially Slush) cares what canth does or does not believe.
Oh boo hoo, let's all cry about slush's "deceitful indication of larger block support" (which was "a likely scenario" after all).

By fake, I mean advertising accepting BIP101 blocks but in fact rejecting them, which Slush it not doing. Anyone that runs NotXT might as well be running NotBIP101 on core since it's the exact same deceitful practice. It doesn't help demonstrate support for alternative BIPs; it might help fracture the network in January. I know you're not dumb enough to have ignored the game theory - anyone that runs NotXT is gambling with everyone's money without any upside.
Slush isn't running XT or NotXT. Slush's present nodes will in fact reject >1MB blocks. Slush is spoofing, as has already been explained here:

How am I ignoring the game theory? I already explained why/how NotXT exacerbates the risk for defections to XT, by minimizing its chances of success. And OrganOfCorti mathed the hell out of that, leaving no doubt those brave enough to accept XTcoins are going to have a bad time.
