Lopp argues that luke is bad at security and is breaking the open source chain of custody with how he is running his repo. So running his software is a trust me bro exercise. Your rants are not countering any of that. All you are doing is name calling. If you actually want to change hearts and minds you should rethink your approach.

I see that you must be retarded. That is not name calling. Its diagnosis.
I call Lopp a liar and evil shitcoiner which he is, see the fucking evidence.
Isn't he lying in the post above? Did you watch the video with Antoine?
Now to your last retarded point. Bitcoin Knots has multiple contributors.
So instead of prunable op_return data you want to bloat the utxo? That’s all that is being said here.
Citrea can implement this in a way that bloats the chain but would rather do it more responsibly. I really don’t see your point.
Do you see my point now?
Also you didn't answer the qustion if Lopp is a digusting liar shown in the note above.
Having contributors doesn’t mean the maintainer is running the software project securely.
Op_return can be pruned. Utxo cannot. Current return size could be used for csam, but so could the utxo data itself if one was determined enough.
As a thought experiment: imagine an encoding program that processes the entire on chain data set and uses that existing data to build a rule set for encoding an image. Someone else with access to the chain and an interpreter program built to do the reverse can now see an image based on the arbitrary data of the chain.
Is the chain data or the interpreter responsible for the content of the image? The interpreter is just a piece of software that is totally useless without the chain data. And the chain data is completely arbitrary. At what point is an objectionable image created?
As a thought experiment: Can you stop thinking like a shitcoiner? Here are two of them - Vitalik and Lopp.
I know you understood that Lopp is a disgusting liar but you don't admit it.
beyond your responsible single point view, there are wide unresponsible hidden risks of an orchestrated movement like
"vitaliking the core to crush ossification".
BTC is not Bones To Crush.
I view running the insecurely maintained and single point of failure knots software as a greater risk to the system than continuing to run core. That said I don’t generally upgrade my nodes with any haste because I’m lazy so all I can say is at this point I will eventually run 30 over anything Luke jr has a hand in.
You seem to have some personal issue with Luke.
But you can check what he already did for Bitcoin (if you don't know that already)

At the end of the day, its your choice what you run.
I’ve been grossed out by Luke from the beginning. His behavior and influence is why I initially distrusted the system. The dude is a statist religious freak. His influence over knots is far too great for my taste. The cool thing is I can run whatever node software I want.
And I have been grossed out by some of the Core devs and their actions.
