Re: Bitcoin XT - Officially #REKT (also goes for BIP101 fraud)
Is that not allowed? Perhaps I need to be "moderated"!
tell me brg444 why miners couldn't get together and start mining bigger blocks?
Blocks are full, transactions are backing up, fees are rising such that it would make a significant difference to the block reward if you could include twice as many transactions.
AntPool, F2Pool, BTCChina, BW Mining, and Huobi see that this is the case, and having over 50% of hash rate figure that if they all start mining and accepting 2MB blocks then they are on balance going to generate more revenue.
What is to stop them hard forking?

You can't be serious....
Do you know what a hard fork is?
I know you are desperate for me to be wrong, but you should set it aside. Its clouding your ability to grok anything.
You know what you are right, I forgot that nodes have to relay blocks not just transactions.
That could be a problem then!
That could be a problem then!
Don't mind me just preserving that for posterity
