On June 10, 2014 Mike Hearn published a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP 64), calling for the addition of “a small P2P protocol extension that performs UTXO lookups given a set of outpoints.”[5] On December 27, 2014 Hearn released version 0.10 of the client, with the BIP 64 changes.[6]
On June 22, 2015, Gavin Andresen published BIP 101 calling for an increase in the maximum block size. The changes would activate a fork allowing eight MB blocks (doubling in size every two years) once 75% of a stretch of 1,000 mined blocks is achieved after the beginning of 2016.[7] The new maximum transaction rate under XT would have been 24 transactions per second.[8]
On August 6, 2015 Andresen’s BIP101 proposal was merged into the XT codebase.[9][10] Bip 101 was reverted[11] and the 2-MB block size bump of Bitcoin Classic was applied instead.
