Re: Bitcoin XT - Officially #REKT (also goes for BIP101 fraud)
That's supposed to tell us what exactly? That under the most optimal technical environment "the network" can substain large blocks?
I'm shocked
Actually, no, they've been having huge problems with it; with nodes crashing all over the place and such. Of course: Bitcoin Core nodes on testnet are unaffected: They're just ignoring the XT chain entirely, banning those peers, and continuing on as if they didn't exist.I'm shocked
Would it be potentially informative to give the relevant testnet's coins some tiny notional value, in order to see what happens in terms of economics (IE Gavincoin Short) in the event of a Great Testnet Schism?
Or would that run afoul of Szabo's warnings about the limits of simulations and lead to a 'small-world fallacy' GIGO situation?
