-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 To answer your question, from my perspective, I am not opposed to block size increase.. I am hoping it would be in the context of something like BIP 100 as I've said before.
But I'm extremely opposed to XT. Would I continue with bitcoin if things continue and "XT prevails" as you put it? That is addressed in part here in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1157545.msg12196537 Basically, in short, I would fight it as long as possible. I won't use XT, and I suspect there are many like myself who will never use it as well.
