Hey, I turned my Bitcoin Core node off today too!

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

 

Active censorship of BitcoinXT and big block discussion.

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. 

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?

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.

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.

Does it mean you switched your nodes just to fuck censorship? Are you not afraid of Bitcoin being fucked instead (ever considered implications)?
