It seems like you are just appropriating the term in order to use it to construct this false narrative. Furthermore according to this "wiki" that you have linked the definition of an altcoin is that it is incompatible with the main Bitcoin blockchain. Therefore according to that "wikis" definition of an altcoin Bitcoin XT is not an altcoin. Therefore this wiki is wrong, it is even self evident based on their own enclosed reasoning.
If the definition of an altcoin is not that it is incompatible with the main Bitcoin blockchain, please enlighten us with your definition of an altcoin instead. Then we can apply that definition to Bitcoin XT and see if it is consistent.
There is no established definition of what an altcoin is.
Currently the discussion is dominated by:
- Core devs
- The wiki
- The dev mailing list
- Theymos' forums and reddit subs
They all basically agree.
vs
- Hearndresen and their loyalist skeleton crew
- ~0.2% of the mining power and up to 8.6% of the nodes (the latter not verifiable).
Your call. I made mine.
