Bruh. They are toast. Let’s hope it’s not too late.
Really appreciate these deep dives, thank you!
Absolutely!
Truly investigative journalism ❤
Core is beyond redemption.
It’s crazy how soft they got, or maybe bitcoin just got stronger 🤷🏽♂️
Informal architectures often create invisible centralization that's harder to challenge than explicit hierarchies. The tragedy is how meritocracy gradually becomes merit-adjacent to alignment with the gatekeepers.

So do we need to fix core? Or superseed it? Wonder if there's a better way to configure it so these things don't keep happening...?
Only way to “fix” Core is either BIP-110 gets activated, which will send a very loud message of the wider node network that they want a regime change at Core, a message they will not be able to ignore.
Or (and?) diversify to Knots or other implementations.
