Replying to Avatar Jameson Lopp

Because I want to reinvest into building out the Bitcoin ecosystem. I see it as a different way of putting my capital to work.

My angel investments may mostly go to zero but I expect that they will result in a fair amount of research and development. That's what I'm really investing in.

Even failures are helpful learning lessons for future innovators.

What do you think is the biggest risk to the bitcoin with people switching around between core and knots? Chain split?

Nah. The biggest risk is that Knots has vulnerabilities because it's not reviewed with the same scrutiny as Core. But in general it's a nothingburger.

Do you think that if more eyes gravitate toward knots that it would actually be worse for knots and core because now that scrutiny is being divided up?

Theoretically possible but highly unlikely IMO. Luke has long been a lonely island in the protocol developer community.

Huge percentage of node runners lose trust in Core devs
