Discussion
yes, there is a noticable decline in Core numbers since April with a corresponding rise in Knots numbers

Knots is becoming the de-facto Bitcoin reference implementation
Sheeeeeeeeesh!
man, they got to remove the asian lady
She is out of her depth. Any experienced Open Source maintainer would listen to the community.
Didn‘t Core release V30 WITH the filter option? After having it ‚deprecated‘ previously? or was i misled?
that would be a ‚listen to the community‘ type of thing. no?
They never removed the setting. They marked it for future removal. Then someone made a pull request saying "You could probably recover a modicom of political capital with node runners, if you just didn't deprecate this feature." So they "unmarked" it for deprecation. It was just immaterial signaling, since v30 will default the data carrier limit to an absurd, arbitrary 100k.
Racism and/or sexism
You don't know the maintainer's name, yet you know they are the cause of all the world's problems 🤔
i know the name.
it is not racism you fool, because it is not her heritage that caused this.
she ridiculed the community.
Core probably lost their comfortable de-facto standard implementation status.
devastating.
holy fuck.
what a BLOW to Core.
Yes, knots is #1
