Well he's here pretty much from the beginning. Nobody let him in, he has join by himself. Isn't this the point of decentralized and open source system, anybody can join and quit whenever they feel so!

can they really?

the code in reality is controlled by so few (with a love it or leave it attitude).

like with most things bitcoin; reality is far removed from the theory of it.

well but what he is doing only matter because of XT, otherwise he wil be ignored, but i'm starting to believe that there should be also a consensus about choosing the right developers and not only about the new version to implement

i know that bitcoin is open source but this does not mean that any dev is ok to work on it...

Any dev can work on it as they choose. Use the Github repo - fork your own copy, make changes, then submit a pull request. If the community likes it and/or agrees on of the 5 core developers with commit access will include your pull request into the next update - and that's it!

Before this happens, the bitcoin community encourages all participants to first subscribe to the bitcoin-dev list and to submit comments there for others to discuss, if you are met with good or encouraging feedback or suggestions then proceed to create the BIP proposal then share that with everyone, presenting your position again a 2nd time in this formalized BIP manner. Now work on BTC

how

and why do you continue to do so?

Why not read through the mailing list instead? Mike starts talking on the Mailing list in Oct 2009 so perhaps a few months before was when he first looked into it. Certainly longer ago than most others touched it.

edit: I'm just pointing out that you're really being unfounded and not showing credit where credit is due.

i wasn't referring to XT.

more his modus operandi

and the push further into centralisation

i don't care about who is behind the scene, nor about bitcoin xt, but bigger blocks are needed, if you want this baby to grows, it's like not giving the good amount of foods to your children...
