Free as in freedom, not as as in beer. Suck it up. this thing has got a ways to play out, watch out for false prophets. Mike Hearn's got your XT/Classic back, yeah the guy standing right there with the banksters knife ready to stick it in ...
i havnt bothered with XT or classic. i have my own implementation that i set to 2mb as that seems to be what the consensus limit is turning out to be..
people hated 20, hated 8. but willing to try 2.. and it was only then that gavcoin decided to go with 2 aswell.. (after the fact)
so i hope that there are atleast 20 different implementations all allowing atleast 2mb so that bitcoin can grow without having to rely on just one candidate, that way everyone is happy, even the segwit1mb crew will be happy because they get to play around too, without killing off other implementations.
