Jury is in. Core defenders should be considered enemies at this point. 🧡👊🏻☠️

100% Core defenders starting to look sus. Mostly single creepy men Have you seen shitnobi, Peter tard, and Larpp?

What has @ODELL proposed that would meet this arbitrary standard? Everyone who cares about Bitcoin at the level most of us do will have differing opinions at some point. And your proposed ideal could end up being the damage you're worried about.

i have never advocated for a change to bitcoin meanwhile saylor wants to freeze people’s coins and knots people want to push through a contentious fork also, the emails said saylor spent $25k trying to get on epsteins good side and he is a notorious womanizer

I remember seeing Odell on rabbit hole recap with Ben Carmen saying we should just upgrade to core 30 or whatever it was at the time -we should just remove the limit on OP_RETURN because they can already do it Open sats has funded core developers that have been pushing for these changes.

bullshit on me telling people to upgrade to core 30 on the opensats side we have funded 371 grants, is our hit rate perfect? of course not. still a massive net positive one example: jon atack just did a great presentation on the issues of core centralization in el salvador? we fund him

Bullshit you talk out of your ass so much you don’t even remember what you have said. You had Carman on RHR and said we should just remove the limit because it’s already technically possible. You rather criticize Saylor for being at a dinner that Epstein wasn’t even at then address the fact that Adam Back one of Core 30’s biggest proponents was on pedo island and took Epstein’s money. Adam even made a special arrangement to increase the raise from 50k to 500k for Epstein after visiting his island

Open sats has funded core 30 proponents end of story. Stop feeding the birds. You said almost a year ago now that it’s already possible to use Mara slip stream to get larger transactions mined. And that we should remove the limit because it’s already possible.

I think it's totally within bounds to share with people what he personally thinks and does, especially when he's a public figure and people often ask these types of questions. I've listened to a number of episodes and from what I remember he just expressed his concerns with the state of alternative node software and said he wants them to improve and grow. If that's your idea of a bad approach fine, but it seems asinine to me. And certainly doesn't live up to the implication that he's an ambitious threat to Bitcoin. If anything it seems like his financial framework depends on Bitcoin's survival. This tendency to just shit on people for differing even slightly is so pathetic. And no, I don't agree with him on everything. I'm an adult, so I don't have to.

I heckled @Jameson Lopp relentlessly. He’s blocked me I’m sure. I also called out shinobi but he doesn’t post here (as far as I know) but after listening to him discuss knots I suspect he’s either controlled ala Epstein evidence or he’s a greedy retard. —Anyone with common sense will recognize the “pro Core” arguments are all strawman bullshit. 🧡👊🏻🍻

Why not go deeper and only fund people you agree with on everything? Politics, food, favorite color. Big reveal: not everyone agrees that Knots is a good alternative yet.

If you can’t see the bias then you might be biased too.

I’ve clearly stated many times that no bitcoin developers should be funded that’s how the corruption starts.

i never said we should remove the limit, i never told people to upgrade to v30 i said it doesnt “fundamentally change bitcoin” and the sky isnt falling, words matter opensats has been trying to improve core centralization issues since we launched and we will continue that mission if you dislike one or two of our 371 grants then i call that a win if you love saylor so much maybe he should fund knots

The fact that open sats is trying to improve bitcoin is the problem. What don’t you get? The ironic thing is you did help address core’s centralization problem by getting people to switch to knots. Bitcoin developers shouldn’t be funded at all. The fuck is wrong with you.

Why can't you be the biased one? You're creating an adversarial discussion when it isn't. Everyone who pushes back on you just a little is either biased or wrong? Is that it? Odell doesn't owe me shit and I don't owe him anything. I'm just calling out your ridiculous hyperbole.

Not everyone who doesn't adopt Knots right now is a pedophile who wants to break Bitcoin. And if you think that you probably need meds or therapy.

marty shotgunned carman on that show, i didnt expect it and pushed back on him, feel free to watch it again if you care about the truth but i know you dont

I have kept quiet for a long time but when I keep seeing these motherfuckers posting this shit I speak up once in a while.

You know me so well. All I care about is the truth and no I’m not gonna rewatch it I’ve seen you do this type of thing plenty of times I’m not gonna nitpick every one of them you’re the one in denial. bitcoin doesn’t need you bitcoin doesn’t need anyone

you hate me because of primal, then make up lies to attack me im not your enemy no matter how much you want me to be one go ask saylor to support knots if he is so great

What the fuck is wrong with you? Do you think shit in this world just magically happens? Who are you to tell me I can't donate my sats to a developer if I want to? That's the crux of my issue here. You're telling other people they shouldn't do what they want with their own money (or even have a different opinion than yours) in a free market for an open source project. You don't have to run the code. You could go work for free. Don't apply the maintenance, security patches, or upgrades. The truth is that you still get all of that running Knots but sit here on your fucking high horse wagging your fingers telling people they're wrong for making a donation to someone building shit they want. You're catastrophising and using hyperbole as an argument and I'm resisting it. You can take that feedback or not, but that doesn't mean there's something wrong with me. Gas lighting doesn't work with me.

And I'm tired of seeing (yes, imperfect) people get shit on when they've given me more than you have. That's all I'm saying here. The biggest danger is burning these producers out because they can't please every sensibility of people like you.

You are talking past me. I acknowledge what you say but you don’t respond to what I’m saying. NO BITCOIN DEVS SHOULD BE FUNDED I don’t need to ask anyone for anything I am sovereign unlike you, You are beholden to your 1031 venture capitalist partners

> Bitcoin developers shouldn’t be funded at all. if they do not get ethical independent funding with no strings attached then they will seek out worse funding from questionable people, such as epstein do you think open source nostr devs shouldnt be funded either? or you cool with that because they are your friends

I think that's exactly right. It'll turn into the same shit we see with politicians. People need money to live on this planet. Unless the plan is to start enslaving people or going full commie, I see no way out of people seeking funding for the work they do. I'd rather it be from an open collective than Bill Gates or some other asshole. And it's a lot easier to say no to them when your family has food and shelter. Otherwise you'd just have to quit and let some other bastard do exactly what you didn't want to do. That's my take. Maybe I'm wrong, but what I've seen in the world suggests I'm right.

You can't stop a FOSS developer from accepting money either. So it's kind of moot anyway. They could turn the funding down.

And I'll even say I agree for a moment. No Dev funding. They must get a paid job and work on Bitcoin for free on the side. What stops their employer from using their power to influence Bitcoin? "Susan, do you reeeeeally think that? We don't really agree with that around here. Think on it some more." Bitcoin is going to touch more people, places, and organizations over time. You can't totally stop funding.

Move the goal post all you want Funding development of Nostr is not the same as funding bitcoin development. You sound retarded by comparing oranges to ostriches. Your Open sats grants to Nostr devs are a grift. You fund developers like Arkinox who deliver projects dead on arrival. The best Nostr projects didn’t receive open sats grants and if they did it was minimal. Relaytools a project that actually delivers was denied a subsequent grant after lots of traction and POW. Why don’t you open source the grant recipients amounts ? Or would the plebs be disgusted? Open sats starting to sound like open ai. Open in name only. The fact that you have a 501C open stats and a venture capitalist company 1031 is a huge conflict of interest. This lets you pick and choose which one goes in the portfolio company and which one receives grants you can also block people from receiving grants because they might compete with one of the portfolio companies. NVK one of your board members on open sats is also funded by 1031 for coin kite. Example- Not too long ago there was some controversy over NVK issuing a cease-and-desist letter to the guy that was trying to do the open source block clock. I doubt open sats or 1031 would fund someone competing with coinkite. That is just 1 example. Primal isn’t hated enough. The primal client stigmatized Nostr giving it a bad rep, now that you are back on X go see what people have to say about it. Lastly you still never addressed Adam “Andy” Back attending Epstein island and taking Epstein’s money. You are throwing shade at Saylor and protecting someone who has ties with Epstein and who is a Core 30 proponent.

you probably posted this from an opensats funded app

Good one Dodge all the valid criticisms Btw I have built dozens of not-a-nostr clients that I can read,write and zap from You are so egotistical it’s not even funny. If it wasn’t for you Bitcoin would be dead Am I right?

> If it wasn’t for you Bitcoin would be dead nope, bitcoin doesnt need me but i am proud to contribute

You just skipped over all the real questions to address the sarcastic one?

cmon puz, Saylor is also for protocol changes …. Core 30 is crap ✅ but I wouldn't trust someone with fancy chairs
