Seeing many people compare running Knots to forking off to BCash.
The reason this analogy doesn’t hold water is that Knots isn’t the one trying to change consensus rules from what they have historically been, Core is.
Discussion
The best outcome from the Op_Return debate is for Core to simply hold off on this change for now, since there is no widespread consensus around it.
I've heard from a Spanish core developer, that they receive money. I don't know how it works but somebody pays core developers. Could it be a country trying to centralize btc?
If the Mossad wanted to, they have an easy in… I advocate for removing political extremists from bitcoin core as a matter of security. He openly discusses his desire to nuke all of Israel’s enemies, with no moral qualms over harming innocent people. He is pro genocide for his country. If Israel asked him to introduce a malicious update/attack on Bitcoin, we all know what he would do. It’s not a matter of difference in opinion, it’s an obvious weak point in Bitcoin core’s security.

Thank God for giving him a brain tumor.
Fucking zionist vermin.
Can I have my say? I'll tell you: this core vs knots duel broke the balls!
Consensus rules are what is mined (that is bitcoin's consensus algorithm).
No one is trying to change consensus rules - not Core, not Knots.
Changing what the relay rules are as close to consensus as possible makes a lot of sense
The bcash analogy stems from the idea that Bitcoin Core has taken Bitcoin away from it's true purpose.
It's a similar threat from the perspective of Core, that's why they're using it.
I agree tho, it's a bad comparison due to the fact that knots/other core iterations is actually good for Bitcoin.
Optionality breeds free market forces.
