So in your view we should not anticipate, and only act when it’s already too late.

Ok yeah disagree.

But the good news is you don’t have to upgrade if you don’t want to! :)

So there’s no middle ground for you?

You’re saying we must act on potential problems now—before they exist—because once we see them, it’ll be too late?

No.

You anticipate problems, draft possible solutions, and keep them ready. If an issue actually emerges, the community reaches consensus and implements the best fix.

What you’re proposing is gaslighting—a trojan horse for more “fixes” to problems that don’t exist.

The good news? I’m running Knots—a real solution to a real problem: a rogue core team trying to strong-arm and gaslight the network into compliance.

You’re solving nothing. There’s no problem to fix. Either focus on real issues or find hypothetical ones that actually matter.

> core team trying to strong-arm

How? :)

By trying to force changes to the software that a massive portion of the community vehemently disagrees with. They have not proven these changes will help, and they have not addressed the potential problems the changes may cause.

What they propose involves philosophical changes to fix potential problems that do not exist at this time.

We don't need that on layer one. We need to leave layer one alone until actual problems begin to surface.

Releasing free and open source software is “forcing changes”?

It’s not anyone’s pet project, Core was the reference implementation

Aaron van Wirdum 2mo ago

It’s only the (de facto) reference implementation if people use/treat it as such.

What's your take on the ~1500 unreviewed commits that Luke forces on Knots users? And how do you even know what's in these committs?

The gaslight lights the light with gassy light gas.

"I’m running Knots—a real solution to a real problem" 😂😂😂

What's the problem?

These are not potential problems. We already saw this play out during a spam hype in 2015. Spammers moved to fake key outputs, which lead to unnecessary permanent bloat utxo set bloat. It is likely that such a cycle will occur again that it happened three times already now.
