Let's give objective facts.

- Currently there is no consensus in Bitcoin, everyone updates the latest version of core, where is the consensus? What do you mean by consensus?

- There are more implementations than Core.

- It is true that applying a filter to mitigate spam affects the ability to calculate the rates of your mempool if others do not apply this filter, but to criticize this is not to understand the consensus.

- Consensus is nothing more than a majority applying the same rule, let people do what they want and let there be consensus, which currently does not exist.

- To criticize Knots because it only has one developer is suspicious to say the least.

Bitcoin Core developers are not saints, it has already been demonstrated with taproot, those who promoted taproot were associated at the time with mining pools, who has taproot benefited?

We need alternatives to Core more than ever, if you don't like it, stick your finger up your ass.

I find this campaign against Knots and filters by some very suspicious.

Regardless of the arguments, to openly criticise another implementation which gives more diversification is very suspect

Diversification is not good if the diverse thing you are bringing in is spam.

As someone who is fairly new to btc, how did we end up with β€œcore centralization” of 98% ?

I mean, it was obviously a critical point of failure, so why in these 16 years has there not been more alternatives to core?

I understand it was supposed to be a FOSS project where contributing was voluntary and changes only made with consensus. This seems to have changed now though and Core Devs only change Bitcoin for who pays them.

Thanks man, then I guess the problem is that they should never have been allowed to accept payment unless they were anonymous donations?

It is clear as day even to someone fairly new to me that core is more worried about miners fees rather than nodes, and that suddenly btc as monetary system is not the first priority anymore

Yeah it seems their interests in VC projects are their main priority, rather than guardians of the protocol.
