A group of experts were warned by a lone engineer. His warnings were dismissed by the experts.
I got a better question, why is Lopp giving talks at Bitcoin conferences?
To be fair, my grandfather outlived my father
Neither one of my parents went to either one of their parents funerals. And I didn't go to my father's funeral either. Is that strange?
I believe Knots is actually slightly older than Core (by a few days). Filtering out valid txs is how we got rid of garbage like Satoshi Dice, Colored Coins, Counterpary, OMNI, and many other stupid projects. I say, make running a node fun again. Enrage the shitcoiners. Make them rage quit like Vitalik did.
Off topic, what's my incentive to switch from Knots back to Core?
So, The Bronx is South LA? Ok, now I get it
Imagine running a node and NOT filtering JPEGs.
What's that word I'm thinking of? Thesaurus is useless but AI finds it instantly
We need to put Carvalho's face on Roger flipping the bird 🤣
Agree until the last sentence 🤣 j/k
It depends on what you mean by fork. It has multiple meanings in this context. Knots is fully compatible with Core. The Core apologists know that Core's actions are indefensible so they must attack Knots with FUD. The MIT license thing might be part of the problem.
Knots is open source, anyone can and many people do review the code
Your node is required to store some data to remain functional. People are abusing that to store data that is irrelevant to nodes.
It's like if someone pees in a public swimming pool, then someone else argues a pool is just a big urinal.
Key word being yet. This is already dishonest behavior. They have every intention of eliminating node sovereignty when it comes to setting the OP_RETURN limit. They are pretending like they learned their lesson. 1. They haven't 2. Even if they have, it's too late
They created A tool. I don't think it was the first
MARA, a pool that is spam central. BTW, they stopped OFAC compliance because of backlash from the community. Proof that miners will bend the knee when pressed by users
I don't know. Do they? There seems to a person driving the discourse there. Whether they have an official title or not is irrelevant
The economist in me wants to say morals are included in the economic calculus.
Economics and accounting are distinct fields but they often get lumped together
The OP_RETURN limit is working too well. This is why some people are annoyed with it and want to eliminate it
I see this all the time out in the wild and in movies (may be deliberate in movies). Too many of you are tying your shoes wrong using the "granny knot". I know I was until my early 30s. Please learn to tie your shoes correctly. I was plagued with constantly having to retie my shoes every couple of hours. I even resorted to doing elaborate double knots. Please stop this. The left shoe is tied properly. The right shoe is how I used to tie my shoes. Check your shoes now. Which do you have?
We all have a super power. Mine's the ability to take short naps while feeling completely refreshed upon waking. What's yours?
I'm all about labeling things properly
