Your use of the packages on this site means you understand they are not supported or guaranteed in any way. Bitcoin XT is an implementation of a Bitcoin full node, based upon the source code of Bitcoin Core with a focus on upgrades to the peer to peer protocol.
By running it you can opt in to providing the Bitcoin network with additional services beyond what Bitcoin Core provides, including bigger blocks. It is built by taking the latest stable Core release, applying a series of patches , and then doing deterministic builds so anyone can check the downloads correspond to the source code.
In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
If you have feedback for Chocolatey, please contact the google group. Bitcoin XT supports configuring the maximum size of blocks to mine. When set your node will not create blocks larger than the limit, although it will still accept them.

It is committed to the first seen rule. We will not adopt changes that make unconfirmed transactions riskier. Lightweight wallets are important. Most users cannot or will not run a fully verifying node. Most of the world population does not even own a computer: These users must sacrifice some security in order to participate, so XT supports whatever technical tradeoffs wallet developers wish to explore.
Decision making is quick and clear. Decisions are made according to a leadership hierarchy. The XT software encodes decisions that follow the above principles:
