IMHO leave core developer team is wrong.
create a forced fork, is just crazy, if you want to create a fork, must be with FULL DEV consensus, or not do it at all!
this could destroy BITCOIN Trust, not to mention the price.
people easy, out of fear, could start selling what they have in BTC (I know a lot of friends that will do that as soon as they realize that there is only a "slightly"chance, that bitcoin forks)
.
if both chains survive because they haven't reached consensus and doble spending becames possible, this will again, destroy the price of the coin, and the trust.
So, I voted Core, I like XT, I agree that bigger block size will be essential in the near future, but they MUST do it together, is the only way to maintain the trust on the coin.
just my point of view.
To clarify, he never said he was "leaving" anything. It's entirely possible for one person to commit code to more than one project. Stop believing the FUD peddled by MP drones.
There's no guaranteed outcome in either stance. Doing nothing and leaving a 1MB limit in place could also eventually result in people selling out of fear when transactions start piling up unconfirmed. People need to stop pretending there's a "safe" option here. Difficult decisions need to be made and there are clearly people who are going to disagree on what that choice should be. If the fork doesn't happen in core, then it's only prudent to try it in XT. One way or another, this is going to happen. There's always been a certain inevitability about this because the network needs more users to survive in the long term as the block reward diminishes over time. But in its present form, the network can't support enough users to pay enough fees to incentivise miners to secure the network. More users equals more fees to gradually replace the income miners get from the block reward. What "MUST" happen isn't the developers playing happy families and agreeing on everything, it's supporting more users to ensure the long-term sustainability of the network.
