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.

In fact it was stillborn child right from the beginning

Miners tend to be highly risk adverse, what I suspect is happening is that they are giving Core the chance to increase the blocksize before January. If this does not happen before then we might see an exodus of the hashing power towards BIP101. Since the fork can not be activated before January anyway, therefore it does make sense that the miners are holding back in order to see what will happen till then, time will tell. One thing that I am sure of however is that Core will not be able to keep the blocksize at one megabyte forever without causing a split in Bitcoin.

25% of the mining power are strongly against BIP101 and will never implement it so spare us your nonsense.

Thank you.

Now fork off

More then 75% of the mining power supports an increase in the blocksize today.

Possibly, but they're waiting for Core's due diligence process and not buying the expedited, half-baked, XT "solution".

Core will likely prevail and ain't a god damn thing you can do about it. (Remains to be seen whether MP and his half-million BTC will buy their fork)
