Looks like we’ll need to support this as an alternative to XBT.

So they don’t even to manage to get consensus in their tiny team ;-).

Beside that, any Fork on Bitcoin will cause issues for Bitsquare.  
So I hope we don’t see any of that bullshit.  
They should simple start an altcoin. That is the only valid road.  
Why should the infrastructure of Bitcoin deal with such menaces. We have better things to do with out limited dev time.
