I'm baffled about this because the amount of hatered and insults I see from Knots maxis towards anyone who dares to speak has been insane. I've been called the worst things imaginable. It's a horde of extremist trolls. They've even sent several deaths threats to developers. Mechanic himself said "I'm not going to tell anyone to not be violent" – that's the definition of a demagogue.

Definitely sounds like selective perception to me.

Let me investigate the dispute between knots and core . I have not following this . Be back after get some

Clarity what was going on .

I'm only on nostr, and I haven't seen that. Did Mechanic say that on video or in writing? If he's got a dark side, I want to know about it. If its hearsay, then try to give people a chance. Does it seem as if something is using this issue to divide bitcoiners? I mean, unnaturally.... The nature of this community would make it very easy to stir things up without any kind of accountability. You're a leader, so you need to be the level headed one and explain things calmly and not get baited. Maybe make a video where you go point by point and explain your perspective. I'd like that. Just be nice. The community needs some outreach. We can't continue like this.

Mechanic was on video.

His most recent one? I'll go find it

Idk, I don't watch him.

But you're ignoring all the other points. Death threats. Bullying core maintainers to leave their role. Brigading GitHub. The "other side" doesn't do any of that.

Astro-turfing bots too.

I'm not intentionally ignoring them. You're right, my perspective is selective, its just not intentional. Anyways, it doesn't change the fact that leadership is needed. That's you. And other devs. Be the leader that would inspire you.

Solution is simple : coexist between Core and Knots . Users decide what best for them .

They want simplicity choose core

Want more advanced security chose knots

HOld on sec !! They come out with the new one , named ; The Core V30

CORE BITCOIN VERSION 30 #bitcoin

It removes OP_RETURN limit , removed 80-byte cap on OP_RETURN and this enabling to 4MB of data per transaction by default

Knots dislike this ! Can floods network

With spam or adult content or porn or malware 🤯

Regardless of what you choose, if limits are lifted and people run Core 30, let's say 5% of nodes run the latest version (you can fill up one block with one jpeg) they will relay that tx, and if it gets confirmed by a miner, your node will have it. That's what is meant by "we'll rape your node".

Just don't upgrade to the latest version, run 29.0.0 and set your own limits. Those who will run 30 are responsible for their choices and we can't do much about it except choosing not to run it. That's it.

Why would he tell people not to be violent, people are responsible for themselves. Taking responsibility for others is itself violence.
