Great points. I’m just here wondering why people are so concerned about my knots node. If the “single person dev team” (which is incorrect, btw) messes something up…

How does that hurt the person running bcore?

My node goes down, my electrum server stops working, etc. Sounds like it’s none of your business honestly.

Remember- the current version of core has the datacarrier limit option, same as knots.

The NEW CHANGE is coming from Core 30, which will change defaults and will deprecate the option, the idea being that a following release will remove the option completely.

In this scenario, bcore is using *force* (coercion) on noderunners to make them adjust their own personal mempool policy.

This isn’t a technical argument, it’s cultural/philosophical.

The issue is bcore is making a change (removing options from users) and we disagree with the change ON PRINCIPLE, and nostr:npub1jfw43myqc0vkcv8xc47pzj8k4vew3zq3r58g0za9mwntu865ka5q0mvctc and many other bcore supports have done NOTHING to address this principled argument, instead only *criticize* and sometimes outright maliciously attack our method of protest.

I’m not going to reply anymore to him because I see the convo is not going anywhere. He keeps bringing it back to spam and not address the real issue which you stated very well in this last message of yours:

It’s about removing options from nodes and forcing onto them your ideas, instead of allowing choice and freedom of voting

Like the guy we tried to discuss with I feel like core is stuck into thinking only in “technical” terms and does not engage in discussion about “principles”. I don’t know if they are really compromised already, but if it’s not this then for sure there is a problem of arrogance, call to authority and closed-mind mentality (which cannot bring to anything good)

Let’s see how things will unfold man, anyway I’m glad to have found another person like you who thinks in “principles” terms 🤘

Keep following new people I think you’ll find many more like that on here on nostr 🤝

But yes I agree it’s very concerning. And not on the technical level necessarily. (spam is already there and it’s not going to destroy Bitcoin, as it is today at least…)

For me the questions here are: am I able to use Bitcoin without trust? Does someone else control my property without my permission? What is the best way to use Bitcoin? How will I use Bitcoin in the future? What can I do to steward the gifts I have in this life for the next generation? Can we really End the Fed? 👁️👁️

I want to verify my own transactions, help relay other’s transactions, stay within consensus, and remain sovereign over those actions.

I am not a developer so I depend on principles and patterns to help me identify how I can reach my goal.

Always challenge yourself to re-examine your bias and seek the truth in all things. See you on psywar front lines.✌️
