I’ve been called a “bad actor” / “corrupt” / “compromised” more times than I can count simply because I’ve said 1) run whatever node implementation you want - I don’t care 2) i will NOT be updating my node to core v30 3) telling other people NOT to update their nodes because node software is backwards compatible But because I refuse to jump on the knots/bip110 bandwagon I am labeled a “bad actor.” So, yes, I do think the people that make such claims are retarded.

I respect you for many things, but I'm pretty sure you've implied my plebslop retardation many times on the pod for being so frustrated at core and therefore willing to take more drastic steps in this case. You obviously have some core frustration if you still choose not to update. But on your pod youve rallied one sided on the issue without much attempt to steelman the knots core logic. I can see how some would consider that "bad acting" due to your influence. You can't refuse to update forever for security patch reasons. So its more like delaying the acceptance of whatever you had disagreements with than taking any real action.
