Been following this Bitcoin Core vs. Knots stuff…

Core is what most nodes run which is solid, but slow to respond to junk like NFTs clogging up the chain.

Knots is a version with filters. Blocks stuff like JPGs and ordinals. Maintained by one dev (Luke Dashjr).

The fight?

Core lets anything through if it pays. Knots says nah, that’s spam, even if it pays.

Some call it censorship. Others say it’s saving the network.

At the end of the day:

Core = open roads

Knots = cleaner roads

It’s about how you see Bitcoin.

Freedom or filters?

Your node, your rules.

To filter what your node stores from the blockchain seems like it makes for inconsistency in the integrity of having a fully auditable ledger… so in the long term, yes it saves space for memory, but at the same time damages the integrity of Bitcoin. I’ll stick with Core, because either way it is the miners that build the blocks and the nodes store their results.
