Just switched from Core to Knots today. I don't know what took me so long as I watched it grow from 2% to 20%. My bitcoin journey is always the same. Late to the party while watching on the sidelines. Better late than never I guess.
Core is core.. u cnt change em... Eventually.. it's core that has the bigger plate.. bt knots runners have the right to run their knots too.. no problem in it.. it's a free space.. Just keeping the network secure is main..๐ช๐ช
It's still a free system... But People who understand it truly are on the majority side..โก๐งก
There's nothing steady about Knots' use ... its screaming higher.
Core versions dominate is simplistic. I see it differently:
(i) who agrees with Core latest development runs Core 30, that is 3929 nodes 16,03% of total.
(ii) those who run Core but do not agree with the latest developments and have a cautious wait and see approach (like myself) generally do not upgrade and keep running previous versions.
(iii) those who expressly reject Core developments and want to give a clear signal have switched to Knots and that is 5402 nodes 22,04% of total.
Therefore the contested Core 30 new implementation has been adopted by a very small minority. This means the network has spoken clearly (so far) by rejecting their latest developments by 84%. Then Knots is now the most promising and fastest growing implementation. How many like myself still running Core 28 or previous versions will move to Knots as soon as it proves itself? My guess is many...
