This is so fucking childish šŸ˜‚

What else did you expected from Samourai

Doesn't knots inadvertently censor Samourai's whirlpool transactions?

Why should they relay to nodes that don't even support BIP47? SAMOURAI users are likely to use paynyms, so a "knot" not forwarding the transaction is of no use and just uses bandwidth the node/Tor-network could spend on connections that actually support 100% of the use cases.

This whole drama still feels petty to me. Maybe it makes a little bit of sense except they could just put in a message to users and be done with it. Definitely seems a lot more like a resentful ā€œwell two can play this gameā€ than some genuine technical decision.

It may very well be a ā€œtwo can play this gameā€ reverse attack, but I love it.

Well i think it's part of openly communicating what they are doing.

Propably they want to report what they are doing so nobody compares them whith Luke QUIETLY blacklisting btc adresses in the default gentoo repo for bitcoind some 10(?) years ago.

Makes sense. You won't be able to broadcast your own transactions with knots

I thought it made sense too until I realized that there aren’t that many nodes running Knots; so what’s the potential harm that could arise from one of your many peers being a Knots node?

It's better to peer with nodes that have similar mempool policies. You want to get all the highest fee rate txs in your mempool so you can do the most accurate fee estimation

Not technical enough to understand why the TX0 is so large, or if it can be shrunk, but I can see both sides of this...

What the hell is going on anymore šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚

Ive been actively disconnecting Knots peers for some time now along with ordisrespector. If my peer doesnt share my views on policy and is detrimental, they can play in their own corner.

Isn't this the wallet with the racist tweets from a couple of years ago? Is it counter productive? Yes. Am I surprised? No. I am not surprised at a racist unwilling to work with others.

Damn you found my alt

I wouldnt be shocked if they're logging xpubs of their hosted users and selling then to govt or chainalysis.

Zero evidence muh xpub strikes again lmfao! 🤣

I said I wouldnt be surprised. Lots of spooks or spook-flipped pretend to be racists.

gotta have me some racist foss 🄰

Simply don’t care. Behavior like this comes from unserious people. Better alternatives exist or will be created.

I'm not sure if anyone at Samourai ever came out and said what the data in the tx0 actually is for?

I would be shocked if this impacts a single user. The overlap of Luke stans and Samourai users is a disjoint Venn diagram

Whats bitcoin knots? sincere question.

Good. I am an honest user of Samourai Wallet because they simply create the best bitcoin privacy tools. They are ensuring that the best bitcoin privacy tools remain available. If Knots is ā€œfilteringā€, so can Samourai.

Very few people using knots

I’m not sure Samurai is the best name for these lot

This is counter productive
