Is this "in depth review process" that which led the Core team to even suggest removing the possibility for node runners to decide what they will accept in their own mempool?
The same "in depth review process" that dismissed the inscriptions fix as too controversial and rather let the utxo set go to shit?
Yes it is. That is why there has been 100% uptime and no one has had any bitcoin stolen due to bad code. I hate what I think is spam in the database but I hate bugs and insecure software even more. My bitcoin will continue to be protected by a node running bitcoin core software.
I don't understand how allowing limitless OP_RETURN or not filtering inscriptions at mempool level protects theft of funds.
If anything, my opinion is that it allows for bitcoin debasement.
Nobody I guess uses his bitcoin core as a hot wallet anyway.
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.
Some want bitcoin to just stay sound money. Because this is what they signed up for. And this is exactly what it got bitcoin to what it is today.
