Walker no!!!!

👀

Yeah no thanks

If I want to witness a pathetic attempt to degrade my mind into chaos, I'll watch the news, which I don't do.

most of the comments on youtube are something to the effect of: "SHAME ON YOU, WALKER!! I'M NOT WATCHING THIS!!!" While you are free to do whatever the fuck you want, I would humbly encourage you to engage with ideas and opinions that are outside of your echo chamber. If you only ever listen to people you agree with, you will never have the opportunity to check your assumptions and critically evaluate your own position. People who run a different Bitcoin node implementation than you are NOT your enemy, and if you believe they are then you have been misled. Run whatever node implementation you want, and remember that the true enemy of bitcoin is the state, not your fellow bitcoiner. View quoted note →

hearing ideas you dont agree with can be scary

yeah no point in hearing opinions different than your own. better to just stay inside a cozy echo chamber.

Excited to check this out!

The smug look on @Jameson Lopp face alone tells you everything you need to know. 🤮

I’ll watch this, just to check if my intuition about this all was off.

I’d rather have a good interview with people I disagree with than not have them at all. At the very least there will be signal, about the border between signal and noise.

Loop is a shitcoiner. Listen to his take with a huge grain of salt.

sigh. Everyone wants to focus on spam vs filters, and not choice vs no choice. Knots lets you choose your mempool policy, regardless of its defaults. Core (v30+) doesn't. Run what you want, but even if Knots was permissive or ordinals by default and Core filtered them by default, and all else was equal, I'd be running Knots. As I was before Core decided to own goal. Not your code, not your node.

I get frustrated with @Jameson Lopp sometimes, but I still respect him a ton and will definitely give this a listen, he always has some good nuggets.

“People forget I am the court jester here” - Walker Well he’s also a super smart guy and this is as a great convo! And his podcast just keeps getting better, nice work man (production, discussions, etc) View quoted note →

Yup, same camp

Just my POV. I listened to the whole thing. I have watched podcasts and debates from all angles always attempting to understand better. Its fascinating like a car crash. I see what I see. It sucks if you don't see it. Dude is a scammer. Sounds exactly like any other "professional" you are supposed to just trust. Not me. You do you. But I'm not going to be shilling or listening to your stuff anymore if you aren't calling these guys out. Or I am probably just over emotional or something. 🤔 Again, if you want to talk private or do a pod, I'm open to the idea. I think I have a unique perspective. Not a technical explanation but maybe something new and different. I believe you have good intentions and you seem like a man who cares about integrity so I am just throwing it out there.

I’ve met you more than a few times. You’re not that wounded.

You have to understand that the filter people have abandoned all reasoning and are deeply rooted in emotional narratives. This all originated from people like Luke and Mechanic who for the past 6 months have been pushing hyperbolic hysterical rhetoric that has even lead to Core devs receiving death threats.

Perhaps you are misinformed but there are no mempool config options that are being removed from Core.

... and then reply back to this comment so we can zap you.

This appears correct -- because they never made it user configurable in the first place. I'd seen the config option proposed, but didn't realize it was never there in the first place, only that it was rejected. So yes, my characterization of the order of events was flawed. The end result though is still that Knots provides options that Core refuses to.

OPreturn is configurable in Core. What do you believe isnt configurable?

Ahh, they haven't removed it yet -- but it's marked as deprecated, and I'm seeing that at least the suggestion of this is that it means it will be removed in the future (though of course it's code and anything can change). The option here is datacarriersize.

@walker Just listened to this one. There wasn’t any extended discussion about different types of data that could take advantage of the limit increase i.e. child porn. I’d like to see you revisit this and discuss the potential legal impact on node runners and marketing impact on Bitcoin overall
