Knots is at almost 7%.

What’s interesting is that Core v29.0 (the latest version) has 947 reachable nodes as of today, while Knots v20250305 is running on 1,201 active nodes. There is also an older Knots version (20240801) that's currently running on 197 nodes.

I wonder if core devs are watching this and thinking “did we just fuck up big time” and then go “nah, it’ll be fine”. 😌

OP_RETURN is a better place for arbitrary data, but Core wants to force a removal of restrictions on it through to unaware nodes without even so much as a good faith discussion. Seems that's not working very well for them. Choose your own mempool policy with Knots!! #Bitcoin #FixTheFilters #GoKnots

Comparing to newest core build is meh. Node runners historically never update to newest version quickly or at all.
