Really disappointed to hear that. Read BIP 444 for yourself. Written by Luke but submitted under a new nym and a new github account to mislead people. It creates a "soft fork" that grants them chain rollback power. They are lying about it being a soft fork. If they never rollback no point activating it. If they do rollback it is a hard fork from the people who don't, no way around that.

I read it. I didn't think that's what it said.

A fork also complicates and breaks some things with lightning. I'm guessing a lot of node runners who are advocating for Bitcoin Cashjr haven't considered this part yet. View article →

Welllll actually, for me at least, I've counted that as a plus. I'm no expert on lightning, but I find it hard to believe it couldn't work without taproot.

It can work but it is more private with taproot. Not the first time Luke's solutions are bad for privacy.
