I never said knots had anything to do with a hard fork. Knots is a node implementation with a different default relay policy. This relay policy was ineffective at stopping spam, which is why BIP110 now exists. It is the knots node runners who are now pushing BIP110 because filtering at the relay policy level did not work, so they have moved to the consensus level, which even Mechanic admits is not the right place to do this. You still have not clarified how I am “corrupt”, but I’ll waste some more time responding anyway: 1) I don’t give a fuck about getting invited to conferences. They’re exhausting and the best part is the time outside the conference hanging out with friends at the bar. 2) I have *never* told anyone to run core v30. I’ve said run whatever you want. I’ve said I will NOT run corev30 and recommended that others NOT update their nodes either. Yes, I have friends who work on or around Bitcoin core in various capacities. I also have friends who run knots or support BIP110 and hate Bitcoin core with a passion. I have other friends who run knots but think BIP110 is a terrible idea. I know this is difficult for you to grasp, but it is possible to have friends on all sides of a debate. I had a great conversation yesterday with @Giacomo Zucco where we discussed this. I hope you’ll listen to it when it comes out. 3) I don’t give a fuck about Citrea. Why would Lopp being an investor matter to me? He doesn’t pay me. I literally pay HIM for Casa. And what the fuck does Peter Thiel have to do with me?? Maybe you should talk to Matt Kratter about Thiel, since he worked for him. Maybe you should get your facts straight before you start throwing around retarded accusations. I’m not your enemy, but you seem determined to make me one. I encourage you to do just a tiny bit of introspection and think about whether *i’m* the “influencer” you should be worried about…
