I’ve been trying to wrap my head around these issues popping up and I have way more questions than answers. I run a node, have a small personal miner and self custody, but I’m pretty new to this.
Without fully understanding what’s going on, logically I question the motivations of devs who are trying to shut out nostr:nprofile1qqs8fl79rnpsz5x00xmvkvtd8g2u7ve2k2dr3lkfadyy4v24r4k3s4spz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg7waehxw309ahx7um5wgkhqatz9emk2mrvdaexgetj9ehx2ap0ege3s8 and nostr:nprofile1qqs0m40g76hqmwqhhc9hrk3qfxxpsp5k3k9xgk24nsjf7v305u6xffcpp4mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7tcpremhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet59uhe5qhq out of the conversation. I’m leaning towards running Bitcoin knots but not sure if that is the solution.
My main question is: Running Core or Knots, what does that due to Bitcoin itself? Is that like a hard fork from block size wars… Bitcoin or BCH.
If the answer to this is too long to write out, can you point me in the right direction to keep digging into this?
Discussion
so the only other thing to keep in mind from what Gary said is the implementation matters for reasons other than consensus.
without getting into the weeds, Core is heavily maintained and watched over as the reference implementation. The same is not as true for Knots.
this means potential implementation vulnerabilities or other issues of interest or convenience will be handled much faster on average by Core. (real security issues not related, Knots is perfectly secure)
much of this only affects details, and what you really care about amongst these things is personal.
for example I run an older Core version rather than Knots, because I have not seen sufficient reason to update or switch just yet
