very valuable contribution
many thanks to Samson for his very nuanced and balanced opinion on this issue
But recent events (Lugano) also show that this is a difficult phase for Bitcoin.
Samson presents very good arguments as to why someone with skin in the gaim can and should question the strong position of the Core devs as a group
You can only be grateful to devs for what they have already done
There is no reason to give current core-devs premature praise and not question their current actions
mho
we need more options - one is knots
just as we should not have centralization in mining, we should not have it in software either - It's time we came to this realization
