btw the recent update is a soft fork yet will still go into effect only with 95% hashpower.
Yet XT will hard fork with only 75%.
Trying to fork without consensus is damaging and irresponsible. Bitcoin was designed to prevent a majority forcing their will on a minority (if it comes to that).
I hope the contentious hard fork will not be successful.
It won't. In fact it's dead already.
stillborn.
edit: one more thought, if XT is so much needed, solves everything and is supported by so many, why not already proceed with the fork?
what now, they want to leech bitcoin's nodes and mining power?
come on, seems to me even litecoin had more balls.
fork! fork! fork! fork! noooobs!
