In the Core vs Knots discussion:

Neither side is wrong, or evil, or has bad intent.

For me, what the debate made me realise:

1. We are too dependent on a single version of Bitcoins code

2. We fell into the trap of trusting, not verifying

3. I want to try to eliminate, or at least reduce JPEGs on the blockchain, not support or mitigate them.

Mostly, I support Ocean because their ultimate goal is to reduce Bitmains dominance on the mining industry.

This is the long game, which isn't being discussed much right now.

I've learnt more from your diplomatic commentary on the subject than most 🫡

Thank you

Nicely said.

Actually not the debate or this specific problem should be scrutinized. But how bitcoin or us are responding to it, and how decentralizing forces trying to take hold.

Agreed

As you said miner decentralisation is key. I see that as a far bigger threat than any spam.

Agreed

Really great points Mike and clear thinking.

Thanks

Depends on how you define right and wrong

How could you possibly know the intent of each Core developer?

No one involved is evil

I mostly agree, except Peter Todd is highly suspect imo and might be evil. The rest probably have good intentions. I definitely agree that everyone is united in concern over miner centralization. The whole fight is over how to fix that.
