That's BitcoinXT's protocol, sure, but that isn't Bitcoin Core's "protocol", so the powers that be can simply say "We do not accept your attempt to reject our reality and substitute your own."
- Rauchg 11y agoThe powers that be are the CPUs. If XT had reached its goal of 75% mining votes by versioning blocks, today it'd be what you call the "protocol".
- rmc 11y agoBut who calls it the protocol? Let's pretend this fork happens. Someone goes to bitcoin.org and download the software called bitcoin and runs it, and they won't be using that protocol.
- MBCook 11y agoYes but as the article said some(s) started DDOSing or otherwise applying pressure to those who chose XT. That's on top of the fear of a long running fork in the blockchain.
