🪢 FORK THE MEMPOOL

A KNOTSMAN'S SURVIVAL GUIDE TO THE SPAMPOCALYPSE

🪢 FORK THE MEMPOOL

Why Bitcoin Knots is the node software Core doesn't want you to run.

👾 Mempools full? TX stuck? RBF chaos?

It’s not you — it’s Core.

🧠 Featuring:

Spam attacks

RBF nightmares

Pinning grief

The anti-core cure

📉 The Spamocalypse

Bitcoin Core: “It’s working as intended.”

Reality: Mempool turned into Fee-Fi-Fo-FUM hell.

Spam TXs clogging blocks

Non-final junk accepted

1-sat RBF games

Pinning attacks wrecking CPFP

Devs respond: “Let’s wait for package relay.”

🤔 Still waiting... since Taproot went live.

🧠 Enter Bitcoin Knots

Made by Luke Dashjr — the forgotten OG code guardian.

What Knots does that Core won’t:

Enforces stricter mempool rules (💩 filter = ON)

Rejects junk TXs that won’t confirm

Keeps pinning spam in check

Offers configurable sanity, not dev fiat

Adds actual features without “philosophy fights”

Knots = Core, but with eyes open and gloves on.

💥 RBF: Replace By Fiasco

Core says: “RBF is a feature.”

Knots says: “Sure — when it’s not a vector for abuse.”

What's wrong?

Full-RBF lets fee sniping bots kill TXs

No min-fee bump = replace with garbage

Wallet devs scramble to adapt

PayJoin? Lightning? Good luck.

🎯 Knots restores order with configurable RBF sanity. You choose.

🧨 CPFP & The Great Pinning Heist

Core’s policy: “Child pays for parent — unless someone pins it first!”

Pinning breaks fee-bumping

Breaks Lightning channel closes

Breaks everything time-sensitive

👨‍🔧 Knots to the rescue:

Rejects non-final anchor junk

Optional stricter package rules

Your node ≠ free-for-all junk drawer

👥 The Dev Debates They Don’t Want You To See

“Should we fix spam, or preserve theoretical miner freedom?”

— Every Core policy thread ever

Package Relay?

Still not deployed.

Mempool junk?

“It’s fine.”

Knots doesn’t wait. It acts.

🚫 No mailing list philosophy wars

✅ Just working defaults for real people

🧰 So Why Run Knots?

Core: The “official” client — but slow, filtered by committees, and a haven for spam.

Knots:

Faster updates

Real anti-spam policy

Optional advanced features

A mempool that respects you, the user

Your node, your rules.

🪢 BITCOIN KNOTS: BE A NODE, NOT A NOOB.

🚫 Core's policy is broken

✅ Knots fixes what Core delays
