Topic: Coinbase Tests Bitcoin XT, Gets Removed From Bitcoin.org - page 2. (Read 1257 times)
Old news, but highlights the problem with the administrators of Bitcoin.org.
Why would coinbase care if they are on the Bitcoin.org site? is it purely from an advertising perspective?
The issue here is far more complex than advertising... The issue here is we are distancing and segregating each other because of different views on how should Bitcoin evolve (or in some cases, simply stall in time).
Some people do not seem to care to listen to what everyone has to say about what should the future of Bitcoin be, nor do they seem to care in discovering solution beyond theirs (or any solution at all). We all benefit from dialog.

Have Bitcoin's leaders become some dictators ? I think that Satoshi would have let Coinbase on the website. Do you think so ? Is so they should learn from their Master.
Wow. Now this is a serious move. This wasn't the mindset I was expecting from folks running Bitcoin.org. Are they afraid of change? Experimenting? No one will lose anything if the fork fails... We just keep Bitcoin as it is and our lives keep going
The Github thread on which this was discussed is pretty interesting:
This is pure speculation. This the same as a company releasing a product and its specifications and you don't believe on its specifications... Like there was someone better to show you specifics about the product than the company who designed, built and released it
If XT "forces" anything (whether it's checkpoints or not), they've failed.
That's why we can't just...
because that's not how Bitcoin works.

I don't believe the XT developers claims about only activating when 75% of the miners support it. I doubt that's how XT will actually fork, because they'll never get the support from the Chinese miners, and they know it, and they've always known that.
What they're probably going to do is to keep trying to get big companies on board to try to eventually make some "economic majority" argument and force it through with checkpoints and ignoring the longest chain.

coerce Coinbase into switching back to Bitcoin Core

Pretty dumb waste of time by Coinbase, XT has been a decaying corpse with little to no support for some time now.
the latest victim of the censorship.
