The size of the UTXO set continues to be trending in the RIGHT DIRECTION...!!!
My fellow bitcoiners- please continue running Knots instead of Core.
Bitcoin doesn't win by SBR or nation state adoption of #bitcoin. Bitcoin wins when the majority of bitcoiners run Knots on their node.
This chart seems to be inversely correlated with the growth in adoption of Bitcoin Knots. Unfortunately no way to know for sure.
It could very well be but you're right. It's hard to tell. Nonetheless we are going in the right direction.
actually, don't run Knots, run Core..why?
because size of the OP_RETURN in Knots is 40 bytes while in Core is 80 bytes. For true freedom and privacy, Samourai Wallet used this field in Whirlpool activities and it is absolutely essential for the field to be 80 bytes. So if you are pro freedom and privacy stay with Core, despite Whirlpool no longer running since DoJ shackled Samourai Devs. Just need to be patient as Samourai shall rise again!!
Knots was probably agency's version of Core in order to stop Whirlpool which Luke was quite happy to oblige with.
"1. Samourai's Whirlpool and PayNym don't exist anymore
2. Knots datacarriersize can be set to 80 bytes if the node operator wants. Core can't filter inscriptions and other spam. Knots is simply a more feature complete version of Core
3. "Knots was probably agency's version of Core" a pure, unmitigated retard" - nostr:nprofile1qqs8ha7ms0mny284ma46xjzf72hel42t74jmtttf3trssfymxyq8ngqpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8wetvd3hhyer9wghxuet5vp85qw
I do understand the difference. Do you have a resource that can explain the benefits? Or will you tell me in a simple terms?
Knots is pro freedom and pro choice. It means that Knots would let you choose which transactions you want to propogate through your node and which one doesn't.
Core doesn't give you that option.
Moreover, there has been a narrative flowing around that there is only "THE MEMPOOL". There is no "THE MEMPOOL".
Knots would let you choose which txs you want to see in your mempool.
If you don't want to propogate spam txs through your node and if you really want to protect the health of the Bitcoin network, knots is your best choice.
