i do not feel comfortable telling people to run knots until it has better review and release processes in place

if you do not want to relay larger op return transactions then run core v29 (the most recent version of core) and do not update to v30 when it is released

alternatively you can run v30 with a modified config file

i think luke, mechanic, and most core contributors mean well and care about bitcoin

long term i want to see more well reviewed bitcoin implementations exist, more choices for node operators is strictly better, this is one of the reasons i have donated my time to build out opensats

i think this ‘debate’ has mostly devolved into social attacks and is mostly unproductive

i do not think it matters much for the global bitcoin network which client you run, in this specific situation

i have said much on this topic in the past, use the search feature if you are curious

you're talking about long term, but do you think core 30 may cause a short/mid term problem though? we have a precedent with what happened on bsv, when they raised op return to 100kb and i don't understand yet why this huge risk is being taken so lightly. "just don't update your node" won't be helpful, when other people do update and stuff ends up on a block

I have this exact thought bouncing around in my brain, as such the just don't update line makes no sense to me. not to be a doomer but i don't see how this change doesn't destroy the p2p layer of bitcoin.
