Let's give objective facts.
- Currently there is no consensus in Bitcoin, everyone updates the latest version of core, where is the consensus? What do you mean by consensus?
- There are more implementations than Core.
- It is true that applying a filter to mitigate spam affects the ability to calculate the rates of your mempool if others do not apply this filter, but to criticize this is not to understand the consensus.
- Consensus is nothing more than a majority applying the same rule, let people do what they want and let there be consensus, which currently does not exist.
- To criticize Knots because it only has one developer is suspicious to say the least.
Bitcoin Core developers are not saints, it has already been demonstrated with taproot, those who promoted taproot were associated at the time with mining pools, who has taproot benefited?
We need alternatives to Core more than ever, if you don't like it, stick your finger up your ass.
I find this campaign against Knots and filters by some very suspicious.
