Re: Bitcoin XT - Officially #REKT (also goes for BIP101 fraud)
Maybe it would be wiser to acknowledge that the price has nothing to do with the blocksize debate.
Which was the way in which it was brought up. Do wise people always announce the quality of their wisdom as it is delivered?
I am happy that we have a choice of implementations, I am also looking forward to their being more alternatives for us to choose from. Thinking that there should only be one implementation of Bitcoin is indeed a totalitarian mentality.
It most certainly is, and the reason, yet again, is that the peer-to-peer network needs to follow common consensus rules to make sure that the blockchain data remains consensual between nodes.
Is it just me, or am I only just recognising the subtlety of this approach at killing bitcoin decentralisation: propose 1 client fork, fail. propose (+ promote) multiple blockchain forks. Like that's supposed to be a better idea than just 1 fork of the main chain
