You fell into the same trap as everyone else then. I'm trying to lead him to the conclusion that he has been trapped in a false dichotomy of knots vs core. Core is a problem and knots doesn't solve it. We need a third path that has a chance of getting where we want to go. I'm not the only one who sees it this way because I hear a few mumblings about removing the witness discount. I'm not a skilled enough dev or a big enough voice to get anything done by myself so I'm left to hassle those who are when they show up in my feed talking about it. I suppose I am trying to move the goalpost in a way, I see it more as trying to add a new goal and a new team to the game. Core wants to allow crap without limits to any payer which I think is bad. Knots already filters on chain privacy which I think is bad. The future I want for Bitcoin has on chain privacy and all or at least mostly monetary use.
