Re: Bitcoin XT - Officially #REKT (also goes for BIP101 fraud)
If nothing else, lowering the consensus threshold to 75% in his fork caused Gavin's credibility to plummet in my eyes. I don't like to use polemic words like "coup" but it isn't entirely inappropriate. The intent, of course, was to push a controversial hard fork with as little difficulty as possible in the face of considerable opposition.
It might be hard to get much more than 75% given the fact that the core devs all work for blockstream and couldn't come to a consensus for scaling bitcoin on chain, even after several years of discussion.
so core devs control all the nodes and miners now
