If you're just referring to block size, for sure. I highly doubt that will ever under a legitimate threat at this point. I wasn't here for that, I think I came in right when the dust was settling.

Knots almost seems like a psyop tbh. It would be a great strategy, if you put your tinfoil hat on, to corrupt the main group of devs who could finesse an argument, then have just one dude, the peroxide guy 😆 with a backup UX that everyone would migrate to before some shady shit ensued.

I think it is most of the time but that's just a hardware issue. Most definitely aren't gonna go buy TB hard drives but there will be purists who keep full chain data. Especially at the start when we're most idealistic about what this is and means.

How is it safer?

Knots is safer because it limits bytes to I think like 42… also double check that because I’m going off of memory right now… it’s too late for me to be double checking my work rn 😅 but it’s small

I respect Luke because Luke is protecting node runners from illegal material

42 byte limit removed later as it was causing trouble to some privacy improving monetary transactions.

Thank you for clarifying! I have very little knowledge about knots so I do appreciate people filling in the gaps for others :)

I did read a really good article about the problems regarding BIP 47 etc I didn’t know how that all played out though so again appreciate :)
