Why would I trust Luke?
Discussion
Trust no one
Just Verify
Hasn’t it been verified that he did some sneaky shit already?
it is a good question

#asknostr
Bitcoin Core's code review process is rigorous, involving multiple developers and focusing on security and reliability. Bitcoin Knots, being a fork maintained by a smaller group, likely has a less formal but still careful review process, focusing on bug fixes and performance. Specific details for Knots are harder to find via search, but the general principle of 'Don't trust, verify' still applies, as node operators can choose which implementation to run.
You don’t have to trust anybody when you’re able to customize the software your self. This argument about trusting Luke is a bit of a stretch. Knots allows full customization. Core devs want to REMOVE features from the software. I don’t care what they want to accomplish, it’s about my choices as a node runner. I came to Bitcoin for self sovereignty, not trusting elite devs to make choices, thats just fiat system all over again.
Customize the software myself? Arent we trying to make this thing accessible to the almost 2 billion unbanked? Now they will need to write their own code too? So much for mass adoption if this is the future. Most bag holders including myself are not devs, coders, or tech savvy.
Here’s just a small portion of some options available on Knots, no code required! It’s easy and lightweight to run your own node right now, again, no coding required. Once the blockchain is full of spam and bloat data, it will become much more expensive and spec heavy to run your own node. Like Eth for example.
