A Core dev and his troll friends are bragging about trying to harm residential node runners. In case you were still unsure about which side is malicious.
@_BitcoinCapital @adam3us @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley People who want Bitcoin to fail, and pretend to "work on Bitcoin" to bring that failure about.
@LukeDashjr @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley i don't think there's anyone doing that in the core project.
@adam3us @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley Then you're just being ridiculously naive at this point. The evidence is clear, even if it's hard to identify who specifically these people are.
@LukeDashjr @adam3us @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley Why should this be hard ? Go name them if you can
@PeetXBT @adam3us @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley Because they abuse peer pressure to hide who is calling the shots.
@LukeDashjr @adam3us @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley So you think Pieter got peer pressured? I have a hard time believing that. But who knows (including yourself)? You just came to this “logical” conclusion that they must have because they support the changes. Btw why don’t you like their trade offs explained in their open letter?
@PeetXBT @LukeDashjr @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley i also don't believe that. luke is being a bit of a hot head and throwing around insults, to people who are 99% not even fighting back to defend themselves.
@adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley I'm the one on the defense here. Attacking Bitcoin is literally all the "other side" is doing.
@LukeDashjr @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley Bitcoin doesn't need your defense, at some point it even escalates to an unwitting attack.
@JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley 🤡 Bitcoin wouldn't exist today, multiple times over, if I hadn't acted in its defense previously.
@LukeDashjr @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley Even if true, doesn't predict the future. Respect doesn't give you special rights to decide for all of us and can be lost again.
@JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley I'm not pretending I can decide for anyone else. That's the corrupt devs directing Core to remove all filters and options.
@LukeDashjr @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley No one is forced to run Core, not least because of you. They don't want to take away your freedom to publish Knots, but it appears that you do want to regulate Core, well beyond consensus, on what authority?
@JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @eric_lombrozo @giacomozucco @michelleweekley They do want to take away Knots, and regularly slander myself and Knots to try to scare people into using Core.
@LukeDashjr @JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @giacomozucco @michelleweekley I don't know a single person who is trying to take away Knots or who is stopping you from developing, deploying, and using Knots. If there is anyone who is trying to scare people into not using something it's you.
@eric_lombrozo @JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @giacomozucco @michelleweekley Then pay more attention... And there's a difference between them using lies and slander to scare people, and my posting "scary" facts (that THEY have made true!) so they can make informed decisions.
@LukeDashjr @JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @giacomozucco @michelleweekley In the end, nobody really cares about any of whatever personal beefs you have with other developers. I've had plenty of beefs. You think anyone cares?!? All of that will be forgotten. Why not just let everyone run whatever they want?
@eric_lombrozo @JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @giacomozucco @michelleweekley This isn't about personal beefs. If too many people run Core 30, it really will be the end of Bitcoin.
@LukeDashjr @JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @giacomozucco @michelleweekley Like I said, you're the one who is trying to scare people into not running Core. I don't see anyone really trying to scare people into not running Knots. They just disagree with you.
@eric_lombrozo @JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @giacomozucco @michelleweekley Then you're not paying attention at all. And facts matter.
@LukeDashjr @eric_lombrozo @JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @giacomozucco @michelleweekley You try very hard to loose any appreciation that people have left for you. You're wrong. Think again.
@LukeDashjr @eric_lombrozo @JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @michelleweekley Not that it matters, but for the records, I disagree it would be the end. But it would be a bad ethereum-like signal: users blindly trusting a group without any adversarial thinking.
@LukeDashjr @eric_lombrozo @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @giacomozucco @michelleweekley So you do want to stop Core doing their perfectly valid thing, but you don't want to go through a difficult consensus amendment, the Bitcoin way. That alone sets a dangerous precedent, or would, if successful.
@LukeDashjr @eric_lombrozo @JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @giacomozucco @michelleweekley @LukeDashjr all eyes on you to explain this argument specifically/in more detail - and more convincingly so.
@LukeDashjr @eric_lombrozo @JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @giacomozucco @michelleweekley How many people exactly count as "too many"?
@LukeDashjr @eric_lombrozo @JuergenStrobel @adam3us @PeetXBT @_BitcoinCapital @nobody3638268 @giacomozucco @michelleweekley Could you clearly define what you mean by "too many"? Please set a concrete threshold. What percentage of nodes running Core 30 would actually represent a danger to Bitcoin?
