It doesn't matter what your reservations are about Luke,

What matters is that it's not only Luke making the decision on your node software.

Luke is obviously championing a small/light-as-possible-block paradigm - and I'm here for it,

even though I didn't agree with him about segwit...

I do agree with Mechanic & Luke that Core competition is necessary & have been interested in knots for a couple years now - I just kept hoping he'd get some more voices in the room by establishing one or two more titled contributors.

I know funding is an issue, and I see Odell / OpenSats offering a grant to knots directly here on Nostr.

So hopefully this happens, as I think it's a great development for Bitcoiners!

I’m just a pleb who’s trying to keep up… I’ve got a start9 and have Bitcoin Core installed. I picked up a Bitaxe a bit ago, and if I’m understanding my options, I can run as the perpetual lottery ticket, or I can move to Knots, Ocean, and lightning payouts (and yes, I know payouts will be next to nothing). I wonder how many others like me are switching to Knots for that ability? I wish I understood the technical nuances, but in the meantime, just trying to learn.

You're doing great 🤟.

Just wait to upgrade your version of Bitcoin Core - not sure if Start9 is on auto update or not by default but yeah start there & panic less 😁💗.

Thanks. I tried to zap you in appreciation of the comment, but it’s failing…
