If you accept bitcoin for something you gave (dollars, work,product). The only way you can make sure it is real bitcoin is to have your node verify its real which it does by the software it runs. Good luck with your alternate implementation of Bitcoin software 🚁👍🏻

gaslighting much?
Nope. Hoping to keep people from regretting their decision to abandon Core and choose another bitcoin implementation like Knotts. In the end we all choose what software we run and get live with our decision.
Knots has been around for more than 13 years and hundreds of thousands of blocks have been mined with it. I’m pretty confident about it. There’s a non zero chance that there might be some hidden problem with the code but the same thing applies to Core and at this point they’ve lost all credibility.
