What do you think about the project being maintained by 1 person? I see only lukejr commit mostly?

Doesn't take much to edit out the retardedness and keep the goodness. Remember that Bitcoin's strength is in its *resistance to change.* Doesn't take many people to do nothing.
And we rely on lukejr to remove that retardedness? That's what you are saying.
No it's a good concern. I hear nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqyr7at68k4cxms9a7pdca5gzf3svqd95d3fj9j4vuyj0nyta8x3j2whad7ya is funded by nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyehwumn8ghj7mnhvvh8qunfd4skctnwv46z7ctewe4xcetfd3khsvrpdsmk5vnsw96rydr3v4jrz73hvyu8xqpqsg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q8dzj6n , who has some sus takes. Hopefully more help and competition will come out of the woodwork.
Hence the tradeoff to run btc knots is too high for anyone.
lol no, why do you say that? Knots is open source, go check it yourself just like Core. It has eyes on it.
Meanwhile, we know 100% that Core is malicious. Easy choice.
Umm, if I extend you thought
I migrate to Knots version 29 for example. Because I felt it is good and correct from what I can test.
Now lukejr does something that is malicious ( for example, not saying he will do) and now I get stuck basically on version 29 and keep running it. Thus having no upgrade possibilities.
If I have to stay on the same version 29, I would choose BTC core and stay there.
Saying that a group of large contributed project is 100% malicious and a single person project is never exposed to have malicious intend would be incorrect imo.
But in any case, run whatever you want. It is your hardware. I am fortunate that I can read and understand the changes on these repo and can make a conscious decision on it.
He has publicly stated a number of times he would like others to work on it as well. Sounds like less of a direct Luke issue and more of a call for community responsibility to me..
Untill that happens we are at the whimp of what lukejr feels is good and bad and accept to the run the packaged version from him that is called BTC knots.
And on the flip side you are at the whim of 5 woke retards acting as one, that have obvious dependencies from unknown pressure groups. Pick your poison.
Your concerns are heard and noted. And, there are also other options if Knots and Core are both a concern to you.
Being in this Bitcoin space really does invite me to keep exploring each facet of every issue that is presented. One thing I deeply appreciate is how due to its open source decentralized nature there is always another option.
That's FUD
