Core VS Knots, it’s destroying Bitcoin:

This debate is showing a great flaw with BTC and crypto in general.

Sure, you can say this debate is just between nerds on something that’s not particularly important anyway.

But it shows an underlying thread that will be pulled on and only get worse.

Apparently MARA is driving the push for Knots. Maybe it’s good, maybe it’s not, I don’t know enough.

But what I do know is that as miners get bigger, and get more control, they’ll want to get more power and stay in control; government sized control.

And if a bunch of nerds can decide to change the code on their whim, and if that bunch of nerds turns into mainly just a few massive miners who control the hash, then the money isn’t immutable, it’s nerd control.

That’s not sound money.

are they talking about it on fox or cnn?

this is the place for the debate. and, it's not destroying, it's shining a light.

CensorThis 4mo ago

You missed the point

It's a great nothingburger.

Don’t confuse “miners” with “mining pools”.

ANYONE can change the code, but you have to convince node operators to run it.

CensorThis 4mo ago

And if the miners are the largest amount of node operators?

Skyler Byrden ⚡️BIP 110 ⚡️UASF 4mo ago

Where did you come up with that?

CensorThis 4mo ago

Answer the question

Skyler Byrden ⚡️BIP 110 ⚡️UASF 4mo ago

It’s a nonsensical question.

CensorThis 4mo ago

Reply in more than 1/2 a sentence or fuck off

Skyler Byrden ⚡️BIP 110 ⚡️UASF 4mo ago

Your question doesn’t make any sense.

That is a full sentence. It has a subject (“Your question”) and a predicate (“doesn’t make any sense”), forming a complete thought.

CensorThis 4mo ago

Without clarifying info it’s not a sentence it’s being an asshole

Skyler Byrden ⚡️BIP 110 ⚡️UASF 4mo ago

Mara only has about 5% of the hashrate of the network. How the fuck are they supposed to be “the largest amount of node operators”?

CensorThis 4mo ago

Got it, so you being short with your reply’s was because you’re an unserious asshole.

Go back and read what I wrote and try to have just a bit of foresight instead of being a retarded fuckwit.

The great blocksize wars of 2017 only made #BTC stronger and it showed BCash's worth... (which is almost nothing).

The Core V Knots is actually MARA driving the push for Core V30, not towards Knotts.

Unlike the Clown World ran by the Fiat system, debates & "wars" between Bitcoiners don't destroy Bitcoin. As history shows, it only strengthens it.

Noice!!!!!!!

i might be wrong but, it’s not a change in consensus, right? so ultimately i don’t think it matters. two philosophies but neither are fundamentally changing bitcoin. they just disagree on how certain transactions should be entered onto the ledger. either directly, or indirectly.

knots is like your mother trying to tell you not to do something, but you can find a way to do it anyways.

core is like your father telling you it’s stupid to do something, but he is not gonna stop you.

Resonance Cascade The II 4mo ago

I would contend that it is not destroying but actually making it stronger

CensorThis 4mo ago

Does no one know how to read?

Have you all lost reading comprehension or did you simply never have it?

Pran ⚡ 4mo ago

Mara driving push for knots? Makes zero sense.

Junghwan 4mo ago

Sounds like you don't understand what Bitcoin really is. Study more then give your opinion please

CensorThis 4mo ago

Then correct me and don’t be an asshole.

Man, all you Bitcoin people are fucking obnoxious. One liner replies with zero additional context.

Tell me you probably don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about but wish to act like to do.

Junghwan 4mo ago

Okay

Junghwan 4mo ago

I don't have enough time to talk with you. I wish you would read "The Bitcoin Standard" or "The Fiat Standard." I prefer the latter.

CensorThis 4mo ago

Neither of those contradict what I’ve said here.

It’s apparent you don’t know what you’re talking about and likely haven’t read those books.

Junghwan 4mo ago

Whatever you think is doesn't matter to me anymore. I have read those books. Please stop talking to me.

CensorThis 4mo ago

“I don’t know what I’m talking about. I actually just tried to silence you with “you should study!” But now that you’ve called out my bullshit I’d like for you to go away.”

No.

CypherKnight777 4mo ago

The whole debate is mostly a nothing burger. Form your own opinion and use the software you want. Either one is better than not running a node. If you don't want jpegs in the block chain, don't propagate or mine them. If enough people agree, those transactions will cost more and sometimes fail. Market forces will deal with the rest either way. Bitcoin is working as intended.

CensorThis 4mo ago

You missed the point as well.
