So we are now held randsom by the Chinese mining pools on the development level? To my knowledge they need more than 90% to have a say, not 60%.
They are a bit biased in what they are asking for because it would benefit them.
The Core developers need to balance the needs of the miners and the needs of the Bitcoin users.
The Bitcoin Core VS Bitcoin XT is going to be a touch decision, if it comes down to that.
