Thanks for responding, really appreciate your thoughts. I also like what Ocean is doing, I consider it pretty much essential to work on decentralizing mining and empowering individual miners for bitcoin to survive and thrive.

And yes, I agree the core devs can’t know ‘everything’ and are in a difficult position (for a number of reasons), yet that makes it all the harder to understand their actions, especially recently.

I love your last point and it is truly incredible to watch it all play out. So many people have been on a fast-track of learning this past week about bitcoin ‘governance’ and rough consensus, why filters are so important, the difference between relay policy and consensus policy etc,

and along with so many switching to Knots yes, the network is growing more resilient! 😊

Side note: I recently listened to your pod with Daniel and as always enjoyed every minute, thank you!
