Doing an AI assisted review of all the changes between Core and Knots to actually understand what's going on rather than listening to fully grown men on their periods bitch at each other.
So far it's looking like Knots is just a more configurable version of core for power users and businesses.
For me, it boils down to Tyranny of the default on both sides. 9.5 out of 10 users are not going to fuck with anything beyond default settings.
Core is going with ridiculous defaults that makes it easy for non-monetary transactions.
Knots goes with ridiculous defaults that's too small and antagonistic towards privacy.
It's ridiculous that core is removing a configuration option, but there's really no reason to switch to running core 30 OR knots when people are still out there running version 22.
Unless there's a consensus change or an extreme vulnerability in a particular version, there's no real need to upgrade or switch to a different implementation. At least the way I see it.
Not that you asked, I guess, but I am probably as exhausted seeing this debate as a lot of people are.
And arguing grown men on their periods made me laugh.
I'm glad to hear it anyway. Based on what I'm seeing, the typical node runner has no need to switch to knots. The comparison is based on core version 28, where the current Knots version is forked from. So I'm going to remain ignorant about core 30 for now.
But almost all of the changes in Knots are for power users who want to experiment with their node policies and such. Most people don't do any of that. And according to my AI chat, even businesses would be taking a risk with Knots because of all of its interface changes.
both of them use LevelDB which is shit
