Lightning network can do milli-sats... Just saying 😅

Bitcoin is indeed technically just a database (multiple actually: it uses LevelDB and SQLite), but that database is also at the heart of an emerging global monetary system.

Todd refused to acknowledge that 2nd part (which is crucial context) and Mechanic almost exclusively spewed empty rhetoric and dogma. It was very disappointing tbh

But I guess this is what "rough consensus" looks like 😅

That mean you trust your Bitcoin to a centralized one-man-show software project. A much safer and saner option would be to simply not upgrade to core v29 and stick to v28

Regardless of one's stance on the issue, I don't think it's a good idea to trust my node, vote and money to a hypercentralized software project like Knots. There's 1 person who makes every single decision and just a single pair of eyeballs looking at code before pushing commits directly to main. There's currently a diff of >4000 commits between Core and Knots, that's a big question mark on software security. I don't think anyone who's really serious about software security will run Knots in production tbh

And half of all remaining bitcoin will be mined in the next 4 years. The second half will be mined in the ~110 years after that
