core vs knots social media beef aside: don't you believe that there should be more than one usable implementation of full node software?
Discussion
I think it’s fine and can sometimes reveal bugs in the main client. but i think it would be risky if lots of different clients became heavily used in the economy. subtle bugs could be really bad.
We see this on nostr all the time. Any small implementation detail can lead to horrible incompatibilities. That would suck with your money.
That would definitely suck. Just hurts to see development go on and then have people say "it's too complicated to get parity with core" (fresh codebase, not a fork). Like even rust-bitcoin does a bunch of stuff different than core still due to complexities IIRC, which is, of course, a WIP but still not nice to know.
welcomed decentralization side effects...
