3 signatures and counting, verified myself. Did you?
more than 10 signatures: https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-30.0/SHA256SUMS.asc
only your sig: https://bitcoinknots.org/files/29.x/29.2.knots20251010/SHA256SUMS.asc
anyone can verify that themselves, weird thing to lie about
Discussion
#Knots Is signed by 3 devs. It's a myth that Luke is the only dev. It's true that he is the only maintainer, but open source software can always be copied by other devs - so typically only one maintainer is needed. If the maintainer is a tyrant, the others will fork the project.
he swapped the file, look at the timestamp of the last sig
glad there are more signers
Signature file on GitHub says it’s 4 hours old. Did you verify when it first came out I guess?
curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releases/tags/v29.2.knots20251010" | jq '.published_at'
"2025-10-10T23:19:47Z"
That’s when the release was published.
The signature file was updated at my local time 8:57AM today. Odell’s tweet was at 9:51AM.
Sounds like a misunderstanding
curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releases/tags/v29.2.knots20251010" | jq '.updated_at'
"2025-10-13T13:57:16Z"
Correct
And for reference Odells note about only one signature was at 2025-10-13T13:28:25Z and 30 minutes later 2025-10-13T13:57:16Z the signature file is updated on github with 2 more signatures.
The 2nd signature was created 2 days ago. Not sure when it was added to the GitHub release.

Yes. I am just correcting my criticism. Odell does in fact know how to read a text file 😂. The file was swapped out after he checked it.
👍 nice everyone shake hands.

Looking forward to a 3rd implementation, I hate core more than I love knots.
Not that anyone cares about my opinion, but I think the reason for the lack of consensus with core vs knots is became everyone is arguing over tradeoffs.
It's a tradeoff between decentralization and censorship resistance.
We can't have 100% of both. There is a dial in between and where should we set that dial.
I don’t agree with that framing, filtering out a certain class of txns (spam) isn’t censorship.
Censorship is filtering out individual txns based on individual characteristics.
Filters have been around forever, they’ve been working just fine.
The busy body dumbfucks at core should have left things alone. If they wanted to tinker with fun little open source projects they should have found something else and left my money alone.
Filtering out a certain class of transactions isn't censorship (agreed), but it does resemble ad blocker behavior which is a form of centralization. In ad blockers, they all query a centralized list, or have trended to do so. Gov can put pressure on anything that is centralized. Yes filters work. That's the problem and solution unfortunately. Hence tradeoff between censorship resistance and decentralization.
To be fair to him, judging by the timestamps, it doesn’t look like it was done as a response to your note.
But a few days ago was just a single signature.
Shiny signed it 2 days ago atraxia an hour-ish before your note

Are you gonna give it a try now? 😄
