Historical subreddit for the BitcoinXT fork of the Bitcoin node software.

BitcoinXT was an alternative node implementation created to promote incompatible changes to the Bitcoin protocol which were favored by several parties, and in particular Craig Wright, who claimed to be Bitcoin's original creator.

BitcoinXT was eventually changed to be node software for the BCH alternative cryptocurrency and was subsequently abandoned after its authors did not keep up with the frequent protocol rule changes in BCH.

Some users of BitcoinXT and, in particular, the former moderators of this subreddit believed Wright's claims and followed Wright when he created his BSV fork of BCH, which is why some of the later traffic is BSV related.

In 2024, following a 5 week trial costing tens of millions of dollars the High Court of England and Wales found that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto.
