Real change occurs from taking action when authority attempts to prevent digital currency from remaining private as it always has been. doesn't matter that it resulted from an imperfect system that will come later.

Sure, but let's push hard for this one, as the seemingly natural right to evolve privacy inherent with today's paper and coin to native internet currency is a huge 'then they fight you' moment while we're fatigued by spam wars

I built my own Raspberry Pi 5, 4TB SDR204 delivering peak sequential read speeds of over 85 MB/s, and 8GB SDRAM and running UmbrelOS 1.5. It is a super fast and effective beast that handles everything I could throw at ot, for a fraction of start9 pricing.

Do you think Jamie Diamon cringes or screams every time his company publishes Bitcoin facts?

Apparently ignorance is stil bliss. I have to accept society has been so dumbed down by the system that even Bitcoiners to be saved from themselves. nostr:nprofile1qqs0m40g76hqmwqhhc9hrk3qfxxpsp5k3k9xgk24nsjf7v305u6xffcpp4mhxue69uhkyunz9e5k7tcpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7l3vw43 speaks common sense, which used to be immune from stupidity. But these are dark times, which makes the threat palpable from both Globalists and Fascists, Repugnantards and Demoncrits, just waiting for an excuse to turn the public against Bitcoin, as BlackRock waits patiently to fork us all

I've joined the MAFFIA and can also help Make America Free From Israel Again!

They will still be mining 1.5 -3% of new Gold annually long after Bitcoin mining ends in the year 2040. And with nearly 95% of all Bitcoin currently mined, this is the first Bull Run with true digital scarcity. The digital gold rush for the remaining supply is now!

Great, now we will have a CME Gap on Monday that will need to be filled. I hate weekend pumps for that reason

Partisan Democrats determined to die on the Bitcoin hill will get their wish when they're voted out of office during their next Re-Election bid

I never said I only rely on Luke. I've held Bitcoin for over 12 years and done more research on it than most ever will. In fact, since I retired on Bitcoin 6 years ago, all I do all day long is learn more about Bitcoin and financial markets and Luke is one of many of those sources

Bitcoin Core vs. Bitcoin Knots: The Great Bitcoin Spam Fight

The Bitcoin community is engaged in an interesting debate: Bitcoin Core vs. Bitcoin Knots. What are they? Why are they fighting?

Here, I explain clearly and simply, without missing any details, with neutrality and a touch of the "spam" controversy.

What is Bitcoin Core?

It's the main software used by approximately 90% of nodes (computers that keep Bitcoin running).

It's stable and developed by many programmers, but some say it doesn't react quickly to problems like network spam.

What is Bitcoin Knots?

An alternative version of Core, created in 2011 by Luke Dashjr.

It has everything Core has, but adds filters to block "annoying" transactions like NFTs or images on the blockchain.

It is used by approximately 633 nodes and relies on a single developer.

Why the conflict?

Everything exploded in 2023, when transactions like NFTs and "ordinals" (data like images on the blockchain) saturated the network, driving up costs.

Knots filters them to ease the network's burden; Core allows them if they pay fees, dividing the community.

What is "spam" in Bitcoin?

Think of the blockchain as a highway: transactions are like cars. Some (NFTs, JPGs) take up a lot of space, causing "traffic."

- Knots: Blocks them to clear the way.

- Core: Lets them through if they pay a "toll."

But who decides what is "spam"?

As the community says: "Spam is in the eyes of the recipient."

- Some see NFTs as spam, like a fake lottery email. Even if they pay, they don't want them on their nodes.

- Others say: "If they pay and the protocol allows it, it's not spam."

Think about it: someone sending mass emails about fake lotteries pays for the server and plays by the rules of the internet.

But you don't want those emails in your inbox. Likewise, some people don't want JPGs on their Bitcoin nodes, even if they're "valid" transactions.

Is it fair to filter them?

The debate began in 2023, when a bug ("Inscriptions", CVE-2023-50428) allowed data like NFTs to be inserted into the blockchain, overwhelming it.

Knots quickly fixed this in its 25.1 release, while Core was slower, leading some to view Knots as the solution to "spam."

Here are the sides in this debate:

- Team Core: They believe that any transaction that pays is valid. Filtering is like "censorship" and goes against the freedom of Bitcoin. They prefer stability and regulated fees.

- Team Knots: They want to protect the network from saturation, claiming that filters don't break the rules.

- Luke Dashjr (Knots): He says NFTs and ordinals are "spam" that clogs the network and increases costs. His filters help small nodes, but some criticize him for only maintaining Knots.

- Peter Todd: He sees "spam" as a problem, but says paid transactions are valid. He looks for open technical solutions.

Other technical voices

- achow101 (Core): In 2017, he said to use Core unless you need Knots' features, viewing Knots as an "extra."

- Developers like Gloria Zhao have shut down filter ideas in Core, frustrating those who want quick changes.

After asking a few people in the community, we came to different conclusions on both sides:

- Pro-Core: They value stability and fear that Knots, with only one developer, is risky. They say filtering is making decisions for others.

- Pro-Knots: They want anti-spam tools and criticize Core for being slow. They see Knots as an innovation.

The Filter Dilemma

Even if you filter JPGs on your node with Knots, if a miner includes them in a block, your node must accept it. It's like blocking a lottery email, but having to save it if it's already reached the server.

This makes the debate complex: do you filter or accept everything?

Technical explanation (easy)

The mempool is a waiting room for transactions.

Knots lets you choose what comes in (with filters like datacarrier=0), while Core accepts almost anything.

If many nodes used Knots, spam would be more expensive, but it wouldn't disappear.

Core is committed to stability and freedom; Knots is committed to control and efficiency. Spam divides because everyone has a different view of what's "annoying."

The community will decide whether Bitcoin should be "cleaner" or more "open."

Which side are you on?

It's knot even close. Knots or nothing
