You should read our 2018 article on "Competing with Bitcoin Core" Running Knots is not an effective way to say "fuck off Coretards", since both Knots and Core were largely written by the same people This is very similar to the desire of the large blockers to "fire Core" in
@BitMEXResearch You look very insecure about alternative clients. Maybe ask core contributors to stop working on libbitcoinkernel because that would make it easier to create alternative clients.
@1440000bytes I'm fine with alternative clients, both libbitcoin and knots
@BitMEXResearch Wasn't classic written by andresen and garzik after they were booted from core?
@Yofinks No, Classic was launched while Gavin still had merge rights on the Bitcoin Core repo Classic was then the same as Core, with a few paramerters changed
@vforvilela There were two versions of bcoin One a hardfork attempt one and one following the existing rules
@BitMEXResearch What matters is keeping militant transcommies away from maintainer roles. Forking their codebase to mutiny and install better maintainers is most expedient and pragmatic. If you're missing that then maybe you're just dumb or malicious.
@BitMEXResearch Lately pondering Bitcoin's "data flood"—Ordinals, Runes, it's like the Yellow River raging, no dam holds it back. Recall Yu the Great from ancient China: His dad Gun built walls, flood worsened; Yu channeled rivers to the sea, nourishing the land. Bitcoin lesson? Don't fight
@BitMEXResearch The only "Coretards" are those who specifically run V30 and V29 to support shitcoin L2 builts as well as purposely want easier pathways to save their scams. Running Knots is a decent way to tell the enablers off.
@BitMEXResearch Thanks for sharing! It's always interesting to revisit discussions from back then and see how things have evolved.
@BitMEXResearch Care to comment on all the money you have paid out with Lawsuits? Any reason you have to do business in the Seychelles? I take two showers after accidentally reading your posts. <snip> Major Regulatory Lawsuits and Settlements Against BitMEXBitMEX (operated by HDR Global Trading
@BitMEXResearch Knots has no developers they just pull core and make little hacks
@BitMEXResearch Despite Core pretending otherwise, what Knotsies want is: for non-std tx to go out of band & pay OOB fees! It's is happening: 1) 98% of the network is running pre v30. Lots of tight defaults remain 2) 21% running Knots Pay more to OOB or get stuck! Knotsies are winning. Of
@BitMEXResearch Seriously? Why reinvent the wheel? Eat the fish and throw out the bones! Throw out the Core 29/30 trash (the bones). Remember that Core has the original Satoshi client. You mean throw that whole thing out, too? LOL, no.
@BitMEXResearch knowing contributors and history is key to navigating narratives
@BitMEXResearch IMO there are 2 good ways to say FUCK YOU CORETARDS. 1. Posting a "FUCK YOU CORETARDS" on X. 2. Running knots. Why not both?
@BitMEXResearch All I see here is Core Cope™️ The main thing that matters is the losers and tyrants in charge of the bitcoin core repo have no final say in knots.
@BitMEXResearch It is not similar. Large blockers where willing to compromise on decentralization. This matches what's going on now; storing the full chain will be much harder to do = less decentralization. Seems you're getting things opposite.
@BitMEXResearch May not be effective, but it seems the most efficient. Rewriting Bitcoin nodes from absolute scratch, reaching the same level of review and the same experience, while also avoiding consensus failures in a system with no formal specs, would be certainly more effective, but so
@BitMEXResearch @nakadai_mon Interesting how focused you are on knots…. Seems not very unbiased research
@BitMEXResearch quiet but clear statement
@BitMEXResearch i read it back then
@BitMEXResearch You make an amazing L with this one. Telling Core to fuck off is about the people at Core. Their code is not the main complaint I have. It's their agenda and their judgment. I want the core DEVELOPERS to fuck off and that's how I want them to feel by running knots
@BitMEXResearch Running knots is the only way to defend bitcoin as a monetary system rather than an Ethereum like platform.
@BitMEXResearch Stop lying. You have no justifiable reason to tell others what node client they should or shouldn't run. Your position is contrived.
@BitMEXResearch Running knots give power to bad actor like Luke Jr. Who need to infiltrate bitcoin when you have luke jr who already act as a deepstate tool.
@BitMEXResearch No matter how much you deny it, Big Block is the future, you idiot.
@BitMEXResearch If core were no longer the dominant implementation, there would be a reorganization of developers Node software decentralization is crucial to bitcoin’s long term survival as humanity’s freedom money
@BitMEXResearch This gets to the heart of Bitcoin governance... changing clients doesn't shift real power if the dev base overlaps. The cycle of "fire Core" just remixes old code. Are we overdue for a genuinely independent approach? Curious what you see as realistic paths forward.
@BitMEXResearch Fuck off coretard
@BitMEXResearch I checked in for a peer to peer electronic cash system not some dodgy off shore exchange giving x100 opium swaps to underage retailers. I bet your DEI department is triggered now.
@BitMEXResearch Funny how the large blockers finally made their dirtyway into Core with this upgrade.. and how Chief Shitcoin Officer @VitalikButerin cheers about it.
@BitMEXResearch How do you protest when core won't listen? You run knots so the network can see how many people are pissed off, not because they think it's a different codebase , plus you get to easily change opreturn back to sane levels without it's future deprecation. You fucking clown.
