Jameson Lopp on Bitcoin Knots

Discussion
Jameson Lopp is evil shitcoiner. Citrea, in which he is an investor, is trying to turn Bitcoin into an Ethereum like shitcoin. Disgusting.
Wow you really refuted Lopp’s arguments. Lmao
You didn't watch Matt's video? My post is an additional evidence of Lopp being disgusting and evil shitcoiner. Like here for example.
Lopp argues that luke is bad at security and is breaking the open source chain of custody with how he is running his repo. So running his software is a trust me bro exercise. Your rants are not countering any of that. All you are doing is name calling. If you actually want to change hearts and minds you should rethink your approach.
I see that you must be retarded. That is not name calling. Its diagnosis.
I call Lopp a liar and evil shitcoiner which he is, see the fucking evidence.
Isn't he lying in the post above? Did you watch the video with Antoine?
Now to your last retarded point. Bitcoin Knots has multiple contributors.
So instead of prunable op_return data you want to bloat the utxo? That’s all that is being said here.
Citrea can implement this in a way that bloats the chain but would rather do it more responsibly. I really don’t see your point.
Do you see my point now?
Also you didn't answer the qustion if Lopp is a digusting liar shown in the note above.
Having contributors doesn’t mean the maintainer is running the software project securely.
Op_return can be pruned. Utxo cannot. Current return size could be used for csam, but so could the utxo data itself if one was determined enough.
As a thought experiment: imagine an encoding program that processes the entire on chain data set and uses that existing data to build a rule set for encoding an image. Someone else with access to the chain and an interpreter program built to do the reverse can now see an image based on the arbitrary data of the chain.
Is the chain data or the interpreter responsible for the content of the image? The interpreter is just a piece of software that is totally useless without the chain data. And the chain data is completely arbitrary. At what point is an objectionable image created?
As a thought experiment: Can you stop thinking like a shitcoiner? Here are two of them - Vitalik and Lopp.
I know you understood that Lopp is a disgusting liar but you don't admit it.
beyond your responsible single point view, there are wide unresponsible hidden risks of an orchestrated movement like
"vitaliking the core to crush ossification".
BTC is not Bones To Crush.
I view running the insecurely maintained and single point of failure knots software as a greater risk to the system than continuing to run core. That said I don’t generally upgrade my nodes with any haste because I’m lazy so all I can say is at this point I will eventually run 30 over anything Luke jr has a hand in.
You seem to have some personal issue with Luke.
But you can check what he already did for Bitcoin (if you don't know that already)

At the end of the day, its your choice what you run.
I’ve been grossed out by Luke from the beginning. His behavior and influence is why I initially distrusted the system. The dude is a statist religious freak. His influence over knots is far too great for my taste. The cool thing is I can run whatever node software I want.
And I have been grossed out by some of the Core devs and their actions.
I agree, you should be informed. First rule about being informed: don’t take your info from shitcoin admirers with questionable investments.

Matt, in case you are looking for an analysis of knots vs core from the source code perspective. Maybe nostr:nprofile1qqs0w2xeumnsfq6cuuynpaw2vjcfwacdnzwvmp59flnp3mdfez3czpsprpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumr0wpczuum0vd5kzmp0ksxxx2 can read it too.

Ad hominem vs. ad hominem. Jameson Lopp being of questionable character doesn't refute his claims about Luke being of questionable character.
Yes this all stated to blow up though when Mechanic posed the question would Lopp gain financially via Shitrea if these changes were enacted...
kinda reeks of desperation tbh.
ie, on his blog Lopp explains in detail why Knots doesn't inherit Cores security.
but Kratter just says "nuh-uh."
He doesn't have the bonafides to criticize Lopp, and his audience are mostly lemmings.
The attacks on Luke this week have been pretty disgusting.
They all seem very coordinated.
Run Bitcoin Knots.

I have half a dozen merged commits into Bitcoin Core and have been maintaining my own fork of Core (Statoshi) for 11 years.
You, on the other hand, know jack shit about software development 🤷🏼♂️
Thank you Mr Loop for helping to spin more nodes to the network and for the inestimable boost to bitcoin Knots.You will be remembered as a Hero.
Matthew has basically become an ignorant rage baiting influencer.
You should feel grateful to have an entire episode of Matthew's YouTube channel dedicated to you.
😏
Hit piece getting traction with the coretard fans?
Some of us actually have our own lives outside of nostr/twitter
I don't need kratter to tell me that hosting child porn or spam on the blockchain is bad.
I can already understand that it's an attack against Bitcoin/against node runners
Shitcoin 🤡
I thought you were bored with Luke and Matt. As the sw expert you are, could you inform us about the risks of 'vitaliking the core' to crush 'ossification'?
Don't worry about technical jargon; some of us started with the 8080.
Bro, you like child porn. That’s not the flex you think it is.
So it's you?
Why do you want to centralise Bitcoin and make it unaffordable for plebs to run nodes?
Why do you want to turn the blockchain into a data hosting service?
You know that ethereum etc. already exists? Bitcoin cash blockchain is already full of childporn, why don't you host your perverted shit there instead?
You don't have to kill Bitcoin with childporn you can use ethereum or whatever else for hosting instead, why don't you do that?
sobbing rn tf is this 😭😭😭
I have a feeling that if we ignored "cloud" nodes, that knots is probably more like 1/3 rather than 1/5 of the network.
Number matters.
But ultimately it’s not just about numbers.
Anyway I’m optimistic that core30 won’t end up well 🤓
Haha bruuuuuh
TLDR
He is compromised
Don’t worry, the kiddie porn on your node isn’t readable.
👏🏾
This video is a perfect example of those who can’t do teach. But this university professor doesn’t seem effective at teaching and therefore should teach gym clas
matthew kratter is a grifter who charges people $790 worthless pleb slop. he should be ashamed of himself.
Lopp with some others are making a "quantum resistant btc" and they are saying that they will save btc 😂😂😂. The wrapped bitcoin they will use in order to do that is a joke if you understand the mechanics of the project. I think they made a presentation on it at the btc conference this year. The marketing stunt they made is ridiculous. In a podcast where a cryptographer who works for Lopp(who works for securit at big banks ) explained why we need quantum resistant btc in the most mentally retarded way. He also referred to Lopp as a true cyberpunk 😂😂
More bad actors are appearing every day.
I think this would make a great topic for a video, thank you Matt.

child pornography?
is that true or a random insult?
It is. Stop treating this like it's a random attack. Watch the vid.
OK watching.
here's the thing about vids. i can read at least 2-4 times faster than a video so i tend to see them as an inefficient use of time.
i also like to give take people on their word until... well that part is obvious. being wrong about someobe is OK as long as you accept being wrong.
thanks for taking the time to point me at this video without prejudice or calling me a retard for taking the guy at face value. 🤙
this shit is dark AF. thanks for being a good friend.
I appreciate your objectivity and historic curation.
