Although miners construct the blocks and receive the payout, the nodes are (/should be) more powerful. The nodes are what verify transactions so if a large percentage of nodes point to a different OS (Bitcoin Knots) or even OS version, the nodes ultimately make the decision of what chain to follow.

Nodes follow the consensus valid PoW chain with the most work. Policy be damned

Feels like Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots is playing a game of chicken to see who will fork. After that, I guess we’ll have to see which chain keeps up and/or plummets to $0.

No fork for policy changes.

Will need to look up what constitutes a policy vs a transactional rule.

Grep for these in Knots or score codebase. Iirc policy.cpp has the standard one.
