Yes, the drama was successful in capturing some people's attention and convincing them that running Knots is a solution.
Discussion
You are also assuming that his āapparent suspicionā is not warranted. What if we steal man this POV, would his position therefore be justified? I mean, if someone actually did steal his coin from a core dev, that WOULD be quite a serious thing, right? And why are we dismissing the possibility?
Core lost the battle in the court of public opinion, snd for good reason
Thatās not all that matters, but it matters a lot
No they didn't, only for a few loud voices. Most others would rather run software that's being developed and audited by 100 top notch devs.
This isn't a smart form of protest but everybody do what pleases them.
The number of new knots nodes says otherwise
And the rest of people that run nodes probably donāt even know about the disagreement and just click update on Core the same way they update iOS
It can be 1000 devs developing Core, it doesnāt make what they are doing good for node runners
They do a really good job in keeping your node safe. You can verify that.
Safety is not the issue tho. They are prioritizing miners instead of node runners. Itās not their job to male sure miners get the most money or to cater to people wanting to use the network for non monetary users.
Iām not gonna rehash the debate, thereās plenty of videos on that already. All Iām saying is that the growth of nodes running Knots is a signal that informed node runners do not agree with Coreās actions.
