We should try to avoid this fork as much as we can, because it could be really messy. The one in 2017 was easy peasy, without LN, everyone doubled their stash easily, but now is much more complicated. I also want to double again my BTC stash, but with LN channels running, is not that simple.

Existing Lightning channels are definitely a problem since they’ll exist on both chains and therefore could get into a bad state. In the case of Lightning, the winning move is probably to close channels quickly, split, then re-open on each chain.

Easy, just stick Luke and Mechanic in a mental hospital where they belong.

I disagree. We should activate BIP-444 as quickly as possible and get the fork started. The sooner the market can start pricing the two chains independently, the quicker this will be behind us.

Bitcoin maximalists now fall in line with captured Core because it is too dangerous to do any thing against it is how every project in human history started to degrade. Too big too fail out of this chief Bitcoin maxi mouth.
