My negative $18 balance issue on Finex got resolved and i could finally get out of that cess pool.They substracted those 18 bucks from my btc balance.Dick move considering that all my trades had all the fees attached to them, payed in full.I wasn't using any swaps, nor was i trading on margin.
Got fleeced hard but am still glad I escaped with my all funds.Good riddance Bfx.

getting scheme fleeced to get out is bullish .. sounds like they have a money problem going on over there .

without the biggest mining pool they will never reach 75%

The important thing is to get a majority of the miners to agree to raise the limit to 8 MB (or some other common value in that ballpark). Then they need only agree for a date to start doing so, and tell the world about it.

Which software they will use for that is irrelevant, as well as the method that they use to get into agreement, announce their decision, and enable the new limit. If the Blockstream developers do not cede, the miners can either use another version, or take the Core base and patch it themselves. All major miners suerly have enough programming expertise to do that.

there pretty much consensus about this, XT is a flop

XT has reached is goal imo to put more pressure. It has also brought out the worst in some people and pointed to some related problems (centralization of control over the places the community uses to communicate, for example).

I ran XT on my node for a while for exactly this reason. I never intended to blindly follow Hearns changes in the future and I think I'm not alone.

A mining pool doesn't own its hashrate, miners can go mine elswhere on a whim.

XT is dead tho...

Why?

it has like 2% hashing power voting for it while BIP100 or 8MB options are both at like 20%

https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/pools

Miners will follow the nodes. If XT has 80% nodes in January miners will just follow what was decided by them.

No. It might add some pressure, but there is no technical reason for them to do so.

i doubt miners will follow a bunch of fake nodes, and bet they are too lazy to fake 80% of the nodes.

there pretty much consensus about this, XT is a flop

BIP100 is looking promising, i think if they tweak it a bit to address some people's paranoid concerns about it, its going to win.

The indicator is lagging, it shows % of last 1000 blocks, i.e. for the last week. In a week or two we'll see the level of support among miners. I hope it'll be low, because I wouldn't like to entrust my bitcoins to people that cheat so openly (I mean the fake nodes).

As opposed to the valiant knights who DDOSd xtnodes.com?

I think we all should know by now that the bitcoin community is full of ... colourful characters.

But it looks like larger block sizes might yet fall out of the dead rotting carcass of this debate.
