I could see that the debate for XT is still ongoing. Instead of talking, arguing and whining... Why not pool your resources together and participate in Bitcoin by running XT nodes?
Since you guys really care about Bitcoin, and that you see XT as a solution for its current problems and shortcomings, then why not make a sacrifice by running your own XT node?
I'm pretty sure there could be 500 XT supporters around? There you go, run 500 XT nodes. Help each other out to achieve this.
XT Nodes, and Bitcoin Unlimited Nodes are significantly up since January 1. New Mining Pools being created. I personally am rewiring an old office to hook up a couple of Antminer 7's.
I think it will be substantial growth in this direction during 1st Quarter. More and more people are tired of the Blockstream Jam. The majority of people on this forum are increasingly Blockstream Players patting each other on the back. Other forums getting traction and more rational discussion / interaction going.
Media is starting to be more open to the concept that Blockstream/Core Dev is more and more acting as a negative force in the bitcoin evolution. You'll see stories soon spinning this as a drag on progress.
Time has a way of working things out. Of course - rational action could do the same, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. FORK is most likely path.
