🚨LEAKED: LUKE DASHJR PLANS HARDFORK TO "SAVE BITCOIN"
Text messages show the Knots maintainer is considering a hardfork to implement a trusted multisig committee that can retrospectively alter the blockchain to remove illicit content.
We included screenshots of all relevant messages we received for you to verify what Luke proposes for yourself.
Full story👇
Keep ✍️ the good fight ⚔️
Lola 1337s has met LukeDashjr in person and shared a safety number? That seems highly unlikely especially if she's leaking texts.
#KnotsCopium 101
I run libbitcoin, now what?
Make a milkshake and touch grass 🧡
Says the guy who doesn't understand Signal safety number verification.
You win - you got me.
Are you a vanilla or chocolate person?
Here’s some more sats for milkshakes ❤️
I don't drink them. If I did I'd say coconut or hazelnut.
Cool. 😂 So anyway, I think the Lola screenshot is a different person than the other two screenshots. I think she got the top two and then reached out, which is the bottom screenshot. Hers isn't verified. The other two are verified.
I understand, what I am saying is I can just "Verify" any safety number with the name "Luke Dashjr" but that verification doesn't mean anything unless they have their safety number correct as well. This is a hash that is not spoofable.
Fair point. That doesn't mean it's actually Luke.
Expensive taste! A pre-2010 whole coiner no doubt! Either way I’m still going to zap you 🥰
To be honest I think Jack's more of a peanut butter guy.
🥰
Close, I would definitely try a Hodlbutter milkshake nostr:nprofile1qqswp94gnm4epqsgjkndl4lnd8krzdj5u4mzuppdtxksdymkty63g7gpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uq3zamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skuep0cg36l7👀
Get urself some. Peep the shop for a new #hodlbutter variant as well 👀👀👀
Look at the messages again. Most are not with Lola, but screenshots from her source, who is verified. Lola's message is at the bottom and is not verified.
Verified doesn't mean what you think it means on signal. I can "verify" a safety number from a contact with that name without actually verifying it is them.
Yes I understand that. I was pointing out that Lola's direct message to Luke was not verified, which contradicts your initial statement.
lol he wants to add a multisig to Bitcoin to alter data...sounds like someone doesn't understand Bitcoin after all.
Delete Knots 🤘
Lmao nice try Fed
Like Craid Wright and Rodger Ver haven't tried this ish before.
😂 😂 😂
It didn't work 8 years ago, doubt it'll work now
Illicit where?
When asked for comment, Luke replied, “You’re writing an article on completely unfounded lies?”
Assuming this is true, it muuuust mean that knots is completely dead now, right?
Only for ththe midcurver readers of the Rage that don't know a chainsplit from a hard fork.
I've always said that I liked Bitcoin but it really needed more centralized points of failure.
After 4 months from this note, how is it going..?
nostr:nprofile1qqs0m40g76hqmwqhhc9hrk3qfxxpsp5k3k9xgk24nsjf7v305u6xffcpp4mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7tcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7l3vw43 I don't trust and I Verify, what's you input on this?
Look at his profile. It’s fake news and a psyop
The purpose of “running knots” is to signal disapproval of the upcoming mempool default policy change. It’s also the biggest client flagging event since UASF during the block size war.
It’s not about supporting or condoning Luke Dashjr. This is the core side showing desperation imo.
Can you prove the claims about this being "fake news" without saying just trust me bro?
Also its being made to look worse than it is. We have bigger fish to fry, (Centralization of mining, Bitcoin adoption, node expansion, etc) Luke and co are trying so hard to spin this like if it has as much relevance to the block size war. Its just something to make their mining pool and themselves get some PR points to basically enrich themselves since they mine towards their own pool. Also Datum isn't that different from Stratum V2, except the fact that Oceans backend is closed source. Which is completely against what they claim to be for. Its just food for thought.
Also show me where this is Bitcoin core being desperate. This is just journalism and someone writing an article that needs people to critically think and investigate before accepting it as truth. Which is why I tagged Luke, which I doubt he would reply to me since I'm a small fry on nostr.
Journalism?
It is journalism regardless of whether you suck on Luke's tip or not. If it ends up being wrong then its bad journalism, but if it stays unrefuted and then its good journalism.
Stop worshipping Luke and Knots and use critical thinking and have a thought of your own. Acting childish makes you and others who support knots look like retards. Otherwise you guys look more retarded than Shinobi trying to glaze core.
Luke already replied to this story. Do you bother checking peoples profiles or do you sit there and wait for them to reply to your message?
And REGARDLESS of Luke, the current flagging protest for knots is not about Luke.
It’s about users rejecting Core v30 update to mempool policy.
How does your brain work that you think this means knots users will start supporting a hard fork altcoin?
So currently Luke hasn't posted or replied to any of this on nostr. Which is currently the only platform is use, if he has posted a comment about this article on X. Can you share it to me please to make sure I can get all the facts. Also I don't wait I do tag them to see their input on things, get it straight from them.
Also a lot of people will follow blindly to someone as vocal as Luke and Mechanic. Theyve made this sound like its the end times for Bitcoin and only by running their Fork of Bitcoin core. (The node software not the actual chain) then it will be saved. If they don't get their way they might try to work towards a fork to the chain.
Also its really easy to game the number of nodes out there. You just need a VPS, some credit and you can pop in an extra 5% more Knots users.
Me personally I don't like the way core is managing the implementation since I'm a heavy power user that has a mining farm going and it actively removes certain things I need. But that doesn't mean I'll move to Knots which is only maintained by Luke and two other folks. With his history of bad OPSEC I say running a older version of core is safer than knots.
Nobody gives a shit about convincing you of anything. Get over it
Lmao says the MF glazing Knots like its the gospel here to save Bitcoin from cores sins.
Ok man, listen- you aren’t stupid enough to update to software that hard forks Bitcoin right? Neither am I, let’s not assume the intelligence of others or “the masses”
PS. Those people don’t run nodes
That's why you educate others on how to run their own nodes and teach them the deep mechanics of them. If we treat people like their stupid then they'll believe they can't do it. You gotta give people the tools for them to learn and to get self efficacy and confidence that they can run things without some dude claiming only techno wizards can run nodes.
I appreciate your respectful reply. Here's some sats for it. ⚡
Right on brother 🤝

From Mechanic 
I shook his hand and had a nice conversation with him a week ago. I'd like to see his thoughts on this.
Did you also shake Sinatras hand and break bread with the best of em?
yes. we are bffs now.
ummmm, he got an entire developer conference investigated by the FBI for being a complete fucking retard that kept his keys online and got hacked for 200 btc...
Ad homin attacks are low. Core now psyop attacking Luke. How low are you guys? Make me sick.
it's true, cry about it, bitch
https://www.theblock.co/post/287939/fbi-luke-dashjr-btc-hack
Im crying about it. LOL. Still running knots. Core are dead to me.
You should hope not, considering knots is just a fork of core ... Lol
We never hwve to upgrade. That is also an option. 
Amazing someone so irresponsible has got >20% of Noderunner support so quickly. What does that say about Core Devs?
It doesn't say much about core devs, it says a lot about technically illiterate bitcoiners who don't understand the debate and who think they are personally "doing something" to save Bitcoin, which is not at risk in the first place.
It shows Core Devs have lost the community and are no longer the trustes bitcoin implementation. Talk about not being able to read the room. Fuck me.
they don't need the retards of the community. Feel free to fork to your permissioned zkproof luke chaijn and have fun being retards over there.
The amount of cope coming from Core shows they do actually. Your poor understanding and attitude to Noderunners and Bitcoiners is also telling. Were you dropped as a baby? Or you just super dumb. 
The fact that you use the word "noderunners" shows how much of an idiotic retard you are. You do realize running a node does literally nothing? being a noderunner does fuck all for the network.
Nodes that do not mine and produce blocks for the blockchain are entirely useless to the network, their only use is for you as bitcoin user to verify your transactions for yourself, and to do so without requesting blocks with your transactions from someone else's node, letting them know which addresses are yours which is a privacy concern.
That's it.
There is zero benefit for bitcoin if you are core "noderunner" or knots "noderunner". neither one benefits bitcoin's security or the confirmation of new transactions. The only reason to do run a non-mining node is to verify your own transactions in the blockchain without having to rely on someone else. The only additional benefit, is you're doing so more privately by querying your own node instead of chainalysis' node.
You can directly infer how stupid someone is by if they use the noderunner, and they are even more stupid if they think they are somehow "protecting" or "saving" bitcoin by being one.
So you're saying there is a benefit?
read what I wrote fuckwit. there is no benefit for the bitcoin network. the only benefit is for a user to verify their own transactions.
not for bitcoin. not for censoring transactions. sorry retard.
So you can relay your own transactions. Who knew?
Great "gotcha". Core's argument so bad they have to wheel out the XMR scammers to defend them. GFY
You should understand that while you may not be relaying these transactions, running Knots does litterally nothing to stop them from being mined and they will ultimatly end up on your node anyway:
Yes, i understand this. Miners also need to understand the risks when going against node policies.
your node policies don't matter, which is the point. Miners decide what the chain is.
Filters stop spam in the mempool if they are not mined. What dont you unserstand about that? Miners then also filter using datacarrier. Catch up FFS.
no, they don't stupid. The undesirable transactions filtered by knots "noderunner" retards just show up in other non-knots nodes' mempools and get mined by non-ocean miners, or directly by miners via out of band channels making you all retarded morons that accomplish exactly nothing.
Drink thia you fucking tool 
For anyone that doesn't want to help these retards censor consensus-valid fee paying transactions, ban knots nodes.
You fucking retard. Go fuck yourself with your dumbness.
go use lukechain and fuck off, fucktard.

cry more about it
they are too stupid to understand this
I don’t understand the argument that because someone is doing something bad elsewhere we need to change the code.
Well this is fucking horrific.
😂
nostr:npub1kcf4p6e8k0rkjtaaghu765647z58qu0wfpgxnqptlwg2pm30skzsm2mct0 seria legal mais vídeos sobre isso na Área Bitcoin, gostei dos que vi
Yikes…
Everyone who got duped into running Bitcoin Luke’s Vision, now is the time to come clean.
Cope harder. Your statist bootlicking is boring.
how and what #core and their muppet johnny-come-lately defenders define "coming clean": https://video.nostr.build/090e22a4d28f27a9bc0eba5526d608ff8bdede234cc82faead214fa757dc1777.mp4
Its strange how people trying to kill Bitcoin are complaining about this and trying to blame those who aren't actively trying to shut down the network.
Just keep it below v30
I want to assume it's some kind of play against Luke.
Because otherwise it would be short against Lukecoin 🤷♂️
Hard fork != chainsplit.
maybe you can read this inside:
X2 NGU
never go full retard
Luke claims this is fake?
I bet he'd call THIS fake too!
He keeps saying "fake news" and "liar", but never directly responds to this question:
Wow so the people who said Luke was a lunatic were correct.
He is too pussy to do it.
I’m inclined to say, “Crazy! Catch the game last night?”
but i don’t even know if there was a game last night.
So like what happened with bitcoin cash, core is forking a shitcoin and knots are just staying true to Bitcoin n
Hard fork != chainsplit.
But don't expect this sort of 'journalist' to understand that.
I appreciate the professional work being done by npub12apcw0ak27qxdnc3gz5ax83k3766hp9l326fqle055xsat24clqqcgn3wz & npub1mznweuxrjm423au6gjtlaxmhmjthvv69ru72t335ugyxtygkv3as8q6mak immensely
But this isn't their best effort imho
Specificity the gotcha-journalism style interaction with npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk at the end of the piece devalues it's credibility
It's all a bit legacy/fiat media cringe, really
Love your work npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk but this is an important topic & deserved better
Your work is valued & important ... keep going ... but just saying
wohoops that's Love your work npub1mznweuxrjm423au6gjtlaxmhmjthvv69ru72t335ugyxtygkv3as8q6mak but this is an important topic & deserved better ... lol .. I'll try to do better 🤣
"Grok please generate a text message conversation where Luke is considering a bitcoin hard fork."
This is all getting so retarded
nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx's call that this cycle feels extremely similar to 2017 looks better by the day
This article is about as believable as Ghislaine Maxwell's version of the Epstein files.
😂
“I’m a journalist” 😂💀
The lack of awareness is brutal. You sound like a total leftist bitch (no offense) in that text exchange.
"Grok please generate a text message conversation where Luke is considering a bitcoin hard fork."
You don't even need AI, I did it by using Signal's own verification against it. Like this: https://nostpic.com/media/dd1f9d502c7951df47e8f8ed245e8bfa24f7e82c28f19399a8f0e74b06113a21/076ef5716e0fb04497e5ef447866b97dc65ea49fc36e23ca47ab0fc34ce55025.webp
Looking forward to the ‘fake news’ claims.
This seems like the ideal job for luke. Official bitcoin Csam reviewer.
Bitcoin, the 24/7 soap opera, never stops giving.
Quote of the year: “Not sure I'll get a chance before November, too busy trying to save Bitcoin” lmao
Thanks to nostr:npub12apcw0ak27qxdnc3gz5ax83k3766hp9l326fqle055xsat24clqqcgn3wz
fuck luke and he can fork the hell off
So...according to comments, this article is useless because:
- it's AI content generated
- Rage takes shitcoins
- It's ok because Luke wants to save bitcoin from Core™️
Man, knots fans are taking mental gymnastics up to an olimpic skill
In the event of a fork.
It will be time to dump Bitcoin Luke Vision (BLKV) or Lukecoin (LKC) for BTC 😁
You guys suck.
Intended for retards that will fall for everything:
This article is a new low of "journalism"
None of this would ever work. The market doesn't want this. Bitcoin doesn't need this, and this is just the Bitcoin's version of fake culture/political wars from real life (left vs right), that all they do is distract from the things that really matter.
And what matters to you is going to be different than matters to another person, etc. But there's certainly things that matter more or less...
You probably shouldn’t write stories about shit you don’t even understand. Especially if you do t know enough about said topic to even ask intelligent questions
This sort of horseshit is what happens when someone with an agenda but without the requisite background knowledge writes about technical topics. It happened constantly during Covid. The Rage is trash and you should save your brain from rotting and not support them
