Very good article.
“But if we're looking at Luke through the lens of evaluating him for a leadership role in an open source project of immense global importance, as the sole maintainer of Knots I think it's quite relevant to consider his history and personal characteristics”
bitcoin is an entirely unserious project if people are even considering this person for maintainership of a 2 trillion dollar asset
The people that were swayed by Knots meme recently in most cases don't have memory of Luke's actions.
exactly
Can a flawed person be right?
If Hitler invented the wheel, would you stop using it?
You want Luke to replace all these current bitcoin core developers?

No, I want all those people to come build a maintainable bitcoin knots that they can all contribute to when they realise that Bitcoin core is just a toy, while knots is the official client now and if they want to build for users, core ain't it no more.
Why can't/won't that happen in time?
Nope. A fork and patch is fine. Knots can then cherry pick, and build funding and team going forward. Bitcoin will be better for it...
Judge the code, not the man.
did you read the article? it shows his dubious code and security practices
Yes, but that has nothing to do with the code of Knots.
While in Core30, there is a bug where transactions with multiple op_returns will not be seen as 'non-standard' anymore after the change. As described in this PR.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32406/files
Why core is not adressing that is beyond me. They just pushing it through...
his merges don't have anything to do with knots code? what? he has tons of unreviewed and unsigned code hosted on a server that has been compromised
Yeah, but if core start willingly releasing code with bugs, you have to look for an alternative. Knots or don't upgrade.
I don't like to play it on the person. I don't care if the maintainer is a catolic with a beard or some meme-chick.
Single person maintainer of a $2t asset but hey it's "decentralized".
Still missing the point... Trust is broken with Core, its full of sell swords who ignore the node runners concerns on spam. They pushed rather than paused. An alternative will now be funded.
trust is not broken, this is just a psyop created by the person in question.
the spam issue is also a non-issue and completely false, knots incentivies worse spam that core: storing data in unprovably unspendable utxos to get around op_return limits is much worse for bitcoin.
I’ll take an honest eccentric zealot over a flock of lying grifters all day.
If the arguments are gone, there are measures to undermine persons... 😔
The intelligences would be proud of you...
