I have identified 3 c++ devs who intentionally work on Knots:

1. Luke Dashjr (x.com/LukeDashjr, github.com/luke-jr)

2. Retropex (x.com/leo_haf, github.com/retropex)

3. Bigshiny90 (x.com/bigshiny90, github.com/bigshiny90)

Anyone else? I hope at least 15 people do so.

I feel like this isn’t talked about enough as a major concern

Here is a fourth:

Ataraxia: x.com/009ataraxi71445, github.com/Ataraxia009?org=bitcoinknots

And a fifth:

Maybe integrate rust-bitcoin? A modern language could jumpstart interest/contributions. Learning rust atm so hopefully I’ll get to it this winter

At the risk of opening the can of worms again. Curious what your perspective is on the whole knots v core thing?

And i totally understand you not wanting to share an opinion if this is too political of a question.

I am grateful that Knots exists for several reasons. One is as a useful social signal: many of the people frustrated by the predominant attitude toward spam in bitcoin opt to signal that frustration by switching to Knots; some make it their first node. I think that is a good thing, and strengthens bitcoin both socially and in terms of network health. I also think the default mempool policy in Knots is wiser than the one in Core.

That said, I do not personally use Knots. I often use Core to test my software and ensure it can work on mainnet.

Thank you! This makes sense. And I feel I’m in a similar position. 🫑
