Replying to UXI

Like he said, bitcoin core dev are technically competent, I would even say really competent and that's the problem. Bitcoin L1 needs maintainer not "builders", a builder cannot help himself, he has to build (add features). This is I believe very dangerous to have builders on the L1, builders should be on the other layers like nostr:nprofile1qqs9pk20ctv9srrg9vr354p03v0rrgsqkpggh2u45va77zz4mu5p6ccpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgkwaehxw309a5xjum59ehx7um5wghxcctwvshszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qrxnfk

this was not a "feature addition". it was a small incentive tweak to not:

- make mining centralization worse

- make utxo spam worse

- make fee estimation worse

it was a completely reasonable change that got blown way out of proportion

I was referring more to bitcoin core development in general since the last ~5 years, "features" get added or filters preventing arbitrary data get removed, thus dramatically increasing spam and even increasing utxo bloat. And it doesn't seam to bother core dev, because I believe a lot of them are excited about new possibilities of building on top of bitcoin with all this arbitrary data space available. I agree that bitcoin core V30 has gained too much drama for what it does, but I think the drama around core itself is well justified
