Poor Peter R, he got #R3KT by the sensor ships!   Cry
For some unknown reason this made me laugh. Poor Peter Rtroll Cry.
Next year?  LOL, remember when you thought XT was going to happen Right Fucking Now, but then it failed?

When XT 2.0, AKA Unlimited, fails next year, I bet you will just move the goalposts again.
If you analyze and compare the amount of "people" that were in favor of XT when it was supposed to be "right fucking now" and the amount of "people" that are still posting around here (in favor) you can clearly see that most were just shill accounts. We're left with a few trolls that have not stopped trying to manipulate people and divert arguments. The chances for XT are slim, if not null right now. I'm still curious as to why they keep coming back here and don't stay on their forum? It's probably very lonely there.
It was never intended or supposed to be right now. The fork coded into BIP101 can not even be triggered until January 2016. I have presented real arguments even though you deny that I have done so, I recognize and acknowledge your position, you could at least have the courtesy to do the same.

Furthermore the chances of BIP101 forking the network are still somewhat of an unknown since 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, therefore it does make sense that the miners are holding back in order to see what will happen before 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.

The simple reason why BIP101 will continue to gain support is because it increases the blocksize whereas Core presently does not. There certainly are good arguments that can be made which favor increasing the blocksize and further decentralizing development.
