For months on end hodlonaut literally attacked, smeared and harassed bitcoin devs and contributors and is now wondering why they don't like him. LOL.

Still no github, no code, no plan, but taking donations when there's absolutely nothing that's "Production Ready". image

Paul's fork "ecash" is ridiculous, it is literally Dr. Evil energy. Take the name that Satoshi used. Take the coins that Satoshi mined. Use both to fund a project explicitly designed to dethrone the network Satoshi built. And do all of it while saying "I hope Bitcoin succeeds, I plan to hold my BTC". Like if you wrote it as a parody of villainous overreach against bitcoin, you'd probably tone it down because it'd feel too on the nose.

Luke perfectly following in Roger's footsteps, if you don't accept his fork it's not bitcoin. Looking forward to you leaving the project for good Luke. image

No mechanic has not been here since 2011, that is a new and false claim.

Ah yes the politician that likes to flip flop back and fourth on his stance on 110 because he does zero technical research is wondering why the people who were against 110 might be against another core wrapper grift. Go figure. image

It took you a year to create a new website, logo and a donation button? With literally no code to speak of? This is what a grift looks like. image

Is this a joke? Fork core and immediately ask for donations? I can understand wanting multiple implementations and forking the open source project that is bitcoin core to do something different to advance the protocol and then afterwards asking for donations to complete the idea or take it further and/or expand upon it. I can also understand wanting to be conservative, and wanting to work on older versions prior to v30 without more advanced SFs in the future, there's a market for that. But slapping a shiny new name, logo and website on a straight fork of core, with a donation button as the first thing you see, and where 2 of the 4 main supporters literally won't let you reply to their tweets unless you follow them... That looks a lot more like a virtue signal powered LARP begging for money than "multiple implementations". image

Imagine being a bitcoiner and thinking the word permissionless is bad. Wow. Censorship resistance is one of the defining principles of bitcoin and always be.

So get this... Apparently all the Knots people don't understand that Knots is just Luke's personal project that he unilaterally pushes changes to whenever he feels like with no public community review whatsoever. I believe in multiple implementations and running whatever you want but... Knots is NOT safe IMO and I'd never trust it with my coins.

Bitcoin is programmable money. More features like better self custody and vaults as well as scaling lightning are important in making it an even better money. It's early days and bitcoin isn't finished yet.

It seems BIP 110 folks are perfectly fine with breaking bitcoin's neutrality, removing important upgrade paths, destroying people's vaults, confiscating coins and causing a split. Awesome.

Remember when everyone was like "hey devs shouldn't 'tinker' too much" when CTV was being proposed, and now people are literally going along with a far more significant update and endless SFing to stop spam. The irony is too much.
