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.
