the coward move would be to give in to your harassment and blindly recommend people run knots

go fuck yourself

Keep misguiding your followers coward...!!!

Your reputation damage will be so hard that I doubt if you will ever recover from it once spam war settles down and shitcoin core gets completely obliterated. It will also likely affect Ten31, Opensats and Nostr.

You being CERTIFIED CORECUCK was not on my bingo card for this year.

I thought there’d be more than 20 something thousand nodes.

you're talking about long term, but do you think core 30 may cause a short/mid term problem though? we have a precedent with what happened on bsv, when they raised op return to 100kb and i don't understand yet why this huge risk is being taken so lightly. "just don't update your node" won't be helpful, when other people do update and stuff ends up on a block

Knots:

I'm just a filthy HVAC tech in my basement. Running Knots. Watching this issue with intensity.

I tend to flip over to Clark Moody Dashboard .... he doesn't seem to update as quickly.

4444 nodes that cant use lightning, coinjoin, anchor outputs, or package relay. pooring one out for you guys.

I completely disagree. The technical and rational people are the *only* valid ones. It’s a meritocratic system. Money should not be ruled by the emotional whims of people who don’t understand the system they are trying to change. If we allow that then bitcoin is doomed.

If you want to make a change, then become a core contributor, learn how bitcoin works, and become a part of the development process. Forking off into some alternate with an unhinged maintainer is not the way.

You can try to change Bitcoin, but in the end all you’ll do is burn your reputation among Bitcoiners.

You don’t change Bitcoin. Bitcoin changes you.

The twitter algo constantly pushes pro knots nonsense in my feed, making it disproportionately seem like they are a larger movement than they are.

Most of the people i see getting boosted are bot-looking account with almost no followers, podcasters, and people who have never contributed to bitcoin.

These people are spewing tons of technical inaccuracies and they don’t seem to understand basic things like block weight, witness discount, input scripts, relay vs consensus, op_return vs witness stack for storing images, etc.

I see people who actually know what they are talking about getting shit on (most core contributors, murch, antoine, gloria).

X is the worst possible place to have a discussion like this.

Tried using Twitter again and it's just so depressing.

I see but then, should the conversation be about how to stop all garbage, instead of how to deal with it?

The garbage cans are overflowing. V30 expands the garbage cans. Knots wants to keep the same size garbage cans because they fear increasing the garbage can size will encourage more trash

knots debate at this point:

core: filters don’t work, lets add garbage cans to the park so people are incentivized to not litter

knots: lets ban litterers from the park (they still jump the fence and do it anyways)

Drop your number 1 reason for running Core v30 or Knots 👇

Logically Knots makes more sense to me, but trying to listen to both sides. And it could be helpful to others who are less technical (like me).

I feel like there's a ton of shit being thrown around on YT and X from both sides of the aisle.

But I am very interested to hear nostr's perspective.

This is the most intelligent group on the planet so I think it will be useful.

Core or Knots, and what's your logic?

#asknostr

Make a better argument. This one reeks of lazy desperation.

open source software is powerful because anyone can verify, modify, distribute, and use without permission

a robust open source ecosystem empowers all of us to take agency over our lives

fighting with people over what software they run is mostly unproductive, run what you want, thats the whole point

Sovereign nodes maintained by one guy lmao

Increasingly convinced that the Jesus man and his 12 spampostels suffer from acute psychosis

I can't stop saying vee logs in my head
