Just use older versions of Core for the time being. Since they're safer than running Knots. Competition in Node implementations is good, this is what being decentralized is. Libbit is interesting, but it is slightly risky to run. But supporting them is worth it.
I'm working on my own implementation in rust. But I definitely don't want people to use it yet. Since it has more issues than relationship with a person with daddy issues. 😂 But hopefully we can find more common ground.
