i think this is a turning point.
yes quote me on this.
The losses of nodes over the past 2 months (from the previous ATH) have been gained back and then some in 3 days time.
Like technical analysis on markets this too is in a sense, a market.
ATH is a clear sign of things to come.
I'll be switching over today as well.

Well, good for you. I don't think any sane brain would switch from the greatest technology to a random fork/altcoin.
I don't think it should be called an altcoin because it is still based from the existing bitcoin code, just added some few codes on it to enlarge the block size limit to 8mb. It's been around for months now and the discussions are happening here and there. Many big pools are pushing for it too, and I don't see it happening to a random fork/altcoin yet.
It's technically an alt-coin as long as its using the main chain of Bitcoin until it gets consensus status
That said your right that it's more along the lines of a Bitcoin-related fork in my opinion but a new section for Bitcoin-XT was not made so guess Theymos had no choice but to regulate to alt-coins or see a wall of this discussion in Bitcoin.
I switched all my nodes to Bitcoin XT too.
Fuck censorship.
Does it mean you switched your nodes just to fuck censorship? Are you not afraid of Bitcoin being fucked instead (ever considered implications)?Fuck censorship.

It's not an altcoin, it uses Bitcoin's existing blockchain and will continue to do so until a majority of miners and nodes are running the new code. The fork only happens when consensus is reached. It's not "random" and several mining pools are pushing for 8mb blocks. Might not be the best idea to question their sanity, I'm pretty sure they understand the situation better than you do.

Okay, I don't know all the background. What are you guys talking about with "censored"? Can someone at least drop a link to further information about this?
Theymos regards it as an alt. Discussions on r/Bitcoin have been deleted. Discussion here is being moved to the alt section.

I don't think all that many other people agree with that stance.
I already see the problem now. Censorship. Idk why but if we cannot talk about *toot* in here, how can we actively discuss about the future things we can do to solve things? Also, I see no reason to censor *toot* on the subreddit. A healthy debate between which is superior to which is great, because it involves the thought of the community, not only those who are in control. Just a thought.

Why today?
Something happened?

I switched all my nodes to Bitcoin XT too.
Fuck censorship.

Bitcoin censored?? Did you mean Bitcoin XT?
Anyone can tell me what is the % of current nodes to see where we are at today in terms of adoption? I want to know who is winning this exciting battle.
You can always view the current node count for Bitcoin XT here. Anyone can tell me what is the % of current nodes to see where we are at today in terms of adoption? I want to know who is winning this exciting battle.
There is a small increase in August, however nothing significant. Bitcoin Core is winning by far.
Hey, I turned my Bitcoin Core node off today too!
Why today in particular?Yes, it's at ATH but still nothing significant
But still it's gaining traction.
I'm a small fish. I must wait for the school to go which way before I follow suite.
I ran Bitcoin Core for >3 years, and I turned it off today
I am now running Bitcoin**Censored**

You must be proud

Only alliance of big chinese miners can switch blockchain to Bitcoin XT. Seems I have to wait some time.
