Deftly keep referring to XT, while Bitmain, BW, (BTCC?), OKcoin, Coinbase are giving support to a simple BIP 102 type bump to Core 0.11 in the form of
Classic.
Have you asked MP his opinion on the Power Ranger's roadmap?
Any big exchanges and miners signed on to the
roadmap? (Not sure if Blockstream counts as big, is anyone
using Liquid yet?)
The MP
suicide short is a great incentive to have fiat on the exchange when a fork happens. Like "opportunity of a lifetime" style if he has the stones to do it. (I'm doubtful anyone would take the trouble to list the <25% chain... but if they do, I bet I won't be the only one on the other end of
that trade.)
"Deftly?" You aren't using that word correctly. Consult a dictionary before you try to match my vocabulary. And read more books.
You don't understand how the Gavincoin Short works. At minimum, all that is required is for an exchange (or merchant) to accept my Gavincoins, while my Bitcoins stay safely in the Trezor. No fiat is required. Please learn WTF you are talking about before spewing misinformation.
I'm "deftly" (lol such tryhard fuckwit) referring to XT because its Jan 11 trigger date just passed, without even 1 in 1000 recent blocks mined in its favor.
Don't you think XT's wimpering nothingburger of a demise is worth remarking upon? Or would you prefer everyone ignore and forget that embarrassing failure?
So some large pools/miners/exchanges support a bump to 2MB, in addition to a few of the soundly defeated Gavinistas. Let's see them agree on the timing of that bump, the (contentious?) percent required to trigger its hardfork, and the algorithm (or lack thereof) for future increases.
Done? Good. Now the Gavinista-Redditurd Joint Engineering Committee must decide on whether or not to include RBF (and what flavor), SegWit, and CLTV. Good luck with that. 
One does not simply raise the blocksize. You should know that by now!
The Old English word gedæfte, which means "mild" or "gentle," is the root of the word deftly, whose meaning still has that sense of doing something both skillfully and gently, or effortlessly.
So now you know.
You skillfully, gently, and effortlessly substitute XT for your real fear, which is now Bitcoin Classic. A distinction you are cautious to publicly ignore, for good reason.
You, of all people, know I have been more of a Garzik guy than a Hearn guy, and never was stridently supportive of XT... even during the days of the gold thread that shall not be named.
If a fork happens... Mircea dumps his "gavincoins" and keeps the worthless ones, I get it. We get cheap coinz in the moment his rage is absorbed. Happy and heady days.
