you don’t know what consensus is… protocol consensus has nothing to do with implementation.

I'm not talking about the consensus part of Bitcoin, I'm talking about the fact that over 75% of nodes are Bitcoin. You're pretty condescending for a retard.

“I'm not talking about the consensus part of Bitcoin” 🤦‍♂️ View quoted note →

You seem to be suffering from cognitive dissonance. The data shows otherwise, youre just saying things because you think they sound nice

Yea, and what was that percentage just a few months ago? Knots has surged from under 2% network share to over 20% in a very short amount of time, you seem to be willfully ignore that and trying to twist the data to fit your argument that you can barely even back

Pretty sure I acknowledged it. Literally said exactly that in the note you're commenting on. 20% doesn't mean shit. 40% is when it actually matters. I've said it before, I don't think core is an angel in all of this. That doesn't mean knots is the answer.

How? You yourself said 20% run knots, that means the general opinion of the node runners is not aligned with this fork

Because since V30 node count has jumped from 2 to over 20% in an incredibly short amount of time, and still climbing. You seem to be willfully ignoring that

Once again, youre just saying things that mean nothing. Cool, practice some low time preference and wait for the node count to go up then. Dont like knots? Make your own implementation that nobody will run. But you can't keep pretending to ignore the rapid market share knots has gotten in a short amount of time

I thought you were saying knots ? Now I'm confused, are you on the knots side or v30? I haven't undated my node in a very long time to stay out of these latest shenanigans

Dude, isn't their forking bs happening this year?

Since v30, Knots node count* The network is naturally reacting to a captured implementation making changes that are incredibly contentious and lacking anything near support

Dude, you have zero idea what youre talking about 😂 I dont think youre ready for that conversation

Yeah, I already said I agree the recent changes to core are contentious and disagree with them, but I don't believe a soft fork via a node implementation with just as shitty processes for improvement is the answer. Tell you what, i would run knots if the repo was on nostr and all of the discussion for improvements were on nostr and there were 5-10 devs as maintainers. Until then, to me, it's beta #reckless software . Didn't I read somewhere that when you're on knots after a certain amount of time you have to actually update? Like every year or 2 or something?

Dude you just told me to have a lower time preference and then I asked about the timeline and my understanding from what I've read is that the soft for which will likely cause a chain split is happening this fall. How is that low time preference

It has an expiry option that is disabled by default. You should take some hints in how many coordinated smear campaigns Luke has gone through. So blatantly not organic, and been going on for years

Well, the fact that most of the commits are from one dude is concerning. But also, Luke doesnt do himself any favors. Commenting "liar" across the board is pretty autistic confrontational behavior. I don't think he is a bad guy, but he certainly is weird as fuck and the fact that he has a following of zealots is also concerning.

Well, lots of people lie. Especially when youre the victim of years long smear campaigns, as I said. Calling liars liars is autistic and confrontational? 😂 Some people also conflate defending somebody who has done more for bitcoin than most, with being a zealot follower. Bitcoiners are very easily manipulated, people spout the same few lazy talking points that you can tell they havent even thought about for more than five seconds
