The Bitcoin software doesn’t auto-update. If Knots ever goes rogue, we’ll move on from that too. This isn’t about picking a winner. It’s about refusing to pretend we have real choice when that choice is being shaped behind closed doors. Right now, there are more eyes on Knots than ever. Any funny business would be spotted. What’s concerning is that Core has started censoring people when conflicts of interest are pointed out. They say we have choice. But everything that has been said so far points to the illusion of it.

The issue is who's inspecting the code to date? It's not like knots is a brand new project with just one or two minor differences to core. I've been playing with the idea of running knots for over a year now - I just wish there were more reviews of the code differences I could reference.

Exactly, you don’t need to trust 1 guy because you don’t have to update
