Re: Bitcoin XT - Officially #REKT (also goes for BIP101 fraud)
Well, whoever wanted to split the community the way Gavin and Mike did, DESERVES TO FAIL.
You talk to people if you want changes, you do not introduce parallel BTC.

You're right. Gavin never talked to Greg Maxwell or the other devs
that are contributors to the core repo.
There was no discussions on the dev mailing list.
that three year debate that people talk about...never happened.
gavin just woke up one day and created bip101 right out of the blue, just like that.
Because it actually never did.
Until Matt Corrallo brought up the subject on the dev mailing list in May there was barely any debate about this other than maybe some odd discussions.
The "debate" lasted no more than two months until Gavin & Mike took their ball and went home crying because there was absolutely no support for their position.
And yes! Gavin actually did create BIP101 (or its early form) right out of the blue. To quote Greg Maxwell (Thu May 7 00:37:54 UTC 2015)

Thanks Matt; I was actually really confused by this sudden push with not a word here or on Github--so much so that I responded on Reddit to people pointing to commits in Gavin's personal repository saying they were reading too much into it.
Well this article seems to say otherwise.

Do you always rely on others opinion and cannot verify facts for yourself?
Great! So you found a forum post spanning exactly 10 days in 2013. And then? Where is the continuous 3 years debate you speak of?
You're just like icebreaker. When one point is refuted, you just go onto another one.
Yawn....
