Well we need to put this block size debate behind us. No consensus has been reached for a while now and there is not one on a horizon, so they have just let the community decide. I see nothing wrong with this. The longer this debate lasts, worse it is for whole Bitcoin ecosystem.

Yepp this is my opinion as well. This blocksize debate is kind of a never ending story. And the longer we see no progress the more stagnant we will get. This is pretty frustrating.

That's why bitcoin is forking and moving forward.

Right. And I support it!!
Bigger blocks are inevitable. And right now with that number of users the network right has we should use this chance before next wave of adoption will happen.

I agree. Now litigation threats ? This whole debate is no good for Bitcoin.

The debate is over now. It's time to act and fork.

Satoshis thoughts on it ?

Very probably just an imposter (not using the original email address), but nevertheless good thoughts.

The fact that they even use such dirty tactic shows their plan is exposed ( Lighting Network) , the next thing to save their integrity is to resign from bitcoin core project.

What a disgrace

Simple solution is to let the majority decide. At this point the few developers who continue to go against the current of miners and users should back off with their tail between their legs so that the people can make their choice and get this debate over with.

Or maybe someone else who stuck the Satoshi name on a random post. I think the odds of that being the case are just a teensy weensy bit higher.

How do Hearn and Andresen profit from promoting Bitcoin XT? The fact that a full release of Bitcoin XT is now available does not mean Chinese miners will adopt; the large mining pool owners have already publicly stated they are against Bitcoin XT.

A reasonable way to increase block size has already been presented in BIP 100 by Jeff Garzik and open to vote. Anyone scared of hard forks should realize that any increase in the current block size will first require a hard fork to remove the static 1 MB block size limit.

Hang on, do we actually have two competing chains right now? Or is this just a heads up that there is going to be a fork in the future?

No competing chains, if Bitcoin XT gets adopted by the majority there will be a fork and the network will start to accept bigger blocks, until then nothing changes.

Ah okay good. I used XT a few months ago, it "felt" just the same as core. I went back to core though since it didn't seem like a serious project then. Looks like it's getting a lot more serious. Should be interesting to watch this unfold. Things might get bumpy for a while, but I expect everything to be fine in the long run.

I believe this happens after 75 % consensus from miners.

AFAIK there is no fork yet. The fork will come when the conditions of "consensus" are reached to create a > 1 MB block while the core clients create blocks 1 MB or less...that is when the fork starts.

basically we are only waiting that the majority will embrace XT, i would say hoping as a better word...

but if merchants are pro it and miners also, this should not take too long, i guess
