At best, that's a 1.7M block size equivalent. The miners supporting 2M blocks via Classic are well aware of SW. I'm also very supportive of SW although less so for the accounting trick scalability increase and more so for the new scripting features and malleability fix. Back to my original point, no Core does not support a 2M block size via HF which is what miners (among others) are now pushing for.

https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/capacity-increases-faq, they want to do it via segregate witness

Fair enough - I searched and wasn't able to find F2Pool thoughts on Classic. Edited my original post - there's enough other pools that support Classic at this point, it's not to be ignored.

This picture is false, F2 does not support Classic. Please stop posting it around.

Do you have any updates showing that core devs are moving toward a 2MB max block size? I agree that they are going to have to do it eventually but communication from Core devs have been relatively quiet this week after most miner (pools) indicated they would use Classic (if needed) to move to 2MB blocks via a HF. I am not looking to get into yet another debate about the merits of block size, just wanted to see if you had any info I don't.

Toshi.io (full node in ruby) -> https://github.com/coinbase/toshi

i'm fairly certain that none of those will get any real consensus besides core,

core is aiming as well to increase the limit to 2mb, so the other are obsolete

they seems like a way, for some dev to say " this version is mine, i made it..."

I've added bitcoin.org as bitcoin website.

On https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/0.11.2/ there is also the link to download binaries on bitcoin.org.
I'm sure that they'll add them on bitcoincore.org as well.

Those are just release notes. The actual downloads are still on bitcoin.org.

bitcoincore.org is going to be the official website of Bitcoin Core. (I think that it is already official)
Links to the download are already present here https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/0.11.2/

They are updating it day by day, bitcoin.org is already well known as website and it's more a general website.

OK. Thanks for the clarification.

In that case, I have an addition, BitcoinJ. It is primarily SPV but it does have an experimental full node implementation.

Edit: also, I think that this site: https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/ is bitcoin core's official page than bitcoincore.org is. It has more info and the downloads are hosted there.

No.

I've added this text:
"Some of them may have rules that can results in soft fork and hard fork, so you have to understand them before choosing which one you will install on your system."

Do you think that it's better to show a "flag" to indicate that the node will push for an hard fork over the most used one node?

EDIT
Added

Are these all software that will fork the blockchain? If so, I don't think Btcd and Bitcoin LJR belong since they don't implement anything that would fork.

This is a list of the competing full nodes currently available.

Some of them may have rules that can results in a soft fork and/or a hard fork, so you have to understand them before choosing which one you will install on your system.
Near the name of the node there can be a "flag" -> HF - This means that if a majority of the network (usually over a % of blocks) will update to this node over the most used before, than it will hard fork.
But, you should always check for updates on their official website to be sure about last minute updates.

I'll try to maintain this list updated as possible.
Advices are welcome.

The discussion is self-moderated, I'll probably delete spam (and paid sig spam) and trolling.

The first is the most used node currently, the others are in random order.
