Another day or so and then this:
Currently switches to Bitcoin Knots because of nostr:npub1wnlu28xrq9gv77dkevck6ws4euej4v568rlvn66gf2c428tdrptqq3n3wr

A better node is loading
Have to consider this. Can you keep Core running while Knots syncs?
Yes
I’ve sort of been following the GitHub drama as best I can given my understanding of it. Agree any censorship of people not cool. Unclear how critical to get off Core. Also there is a relationship to Ocean, which I’ve also seen some people be critical of. A lot to absorb.
I tend to prefer to make my own decisions based on knowledge. I have no interest in other peoples opinion (in a nice way 😂 ).
I don't want to re-iterate the arguments, but OCEANs goal of giving miners control of the blocks is the very ideal of decentralisation.
I've seen plenty of OCEAN blocks mined where the miner created their own template to include or exclude the transactions they wanted. This is decentralisation.
More importantly the concerns about pool centralisation are very clearly founded.
I've not heard any valid reasons why this is bad.
I’m certainly no expert. The criticism I’ve read mostly is on Open Source Miners United group (Discord) saying they are not really as decentralized as claimed. Too much control by owners I guess…?
Owners controlling a company is criticism?
I doubt OCEAN, the company, is decentralised. Discussing this is a distraction.
Here is a decentralised block I post about some time ago:

I’ll have to try. Just don’t want to break my other stuff.
I'm installing it on a test rig, it'll take another day or two to sync. If you want to wait, I can let you know how it goes.
That would be great. I’m running Electrum Personal Server, LND, Alby Hub, and Public Pool with Core. Wanna make sure it all keeps working.
I've just seen this guide on X if any help?
