It seems to me like you guys have completely departed from the discussion. Let's get back on track, shall we? If we honestly asses the situation there is a low chance that XT or BIP101 are going to happen, especially if Core implements some BIP (related to the block size and scaling).

5 more BIP101 mining pools are now online

Who said that? As far as I see there is 0 support from the miners. Anyone can easily verify this here. I doubt that it is going to change anytime soon (if ever).

XT and BIP101 are born dead.
Beside the small fuss they managed with all their fakes accounts, fake nodes etc.. they are just a buncha squeaking minority.
There is no point discussing it besides uncovering the real truth that lies behind such pathetic attempt at highjacking bitcoin.

I can't believe XT's brilliant plan to take over Bitcoin by using a single port at Slush's spoofed XT pool wasn't a resounding success!

See this is what really interest me, such rushing into it.. WHY?

Why Gavin felt such urge to implement an untested/muddled solution that would have endangers bitcoin's security/decentralization and in such a radical way?
(plus, 20MB then 8MB wtf? does he think we're that stupid? just throwing random numbers at us? think we'll follow him wherever he goes? - even at CIA?)

He could have done it more smoothly within the next couple of years without raising as much suspicions as he did whilst hastening the whole internet with his monster FUD.

Also, why the need for implementing a new "governance"?
Wasn't his experience at the Ph0undation enough? Roll Eyes

My 2 cents tells me that looking at the rest of the financial world, they are indeed quite pressured by time.
OTOH Bitcoin is here to stay, and in its current paradigm, it is the best alternative to ~~protect~~ secure your wealth before the final "reset", "shut down" or whatever financial disaster looming upon us.
