Its a very nuanced topic. Ive yet to see something that i 100% agree with. I see the arguments from both sides, they both have merits but ive leaned hard in knots direction for awhile now. But the arguments have gone from discussions to tribalism and pigeon-holed rhetoric.
Kinda like with trump oh you support trump so you must also believe A,B&C. which is fucking dumb. Ive seen the same shit with oh you run knots you must also believe filtering stops spam etc etc. Which is horrendous strawmanning at best and outright dismissal of any points knots runners make.
You can both be a knots supporter and simultaneously know that filtering at policy level wont stop spam. Too many black and white thinking in the arguments to even have a level headed conversation any more, everyones just talking passed each other at this point.
If i were a fed and wanted to disrupt the synergies rallying in the bitcoin camp this is exactly the kinda shit id stir up to create division and slow the gaining momentum.

I completely agree
Other things that bother me is that Matthew Kratter and Calle are having personal attacks at each other, two guys who are really dedicated to Bitcoin and helped Orange pill me. I don’t think either are being disingenuous but unfortunately, one is wrong. And I don’t know which. It’s a bit distressing
Also, and maybe I’m wrong, there hasn’t been sufficient debate around what exactly Op Return is. The Matthew Kratter camp have completely lambasted it despite constant evidence their technical skills aren’t hitting the mark ~ this doesn’t mean they’re fundamentally wrong and there’s been plenty of bad actors in the Core camp not helping explain it
I think if Op Return was explained better or actually clearly defined it would help things. And suggesting Knots is thee solution I think is damaging.
There needs to be some recourse in the middle ground but as pleb, I have no idea what that is.
I started at Knots but now I’m a bit more towards Core but ultimately quite on the fence.
There’s also been a fork in what’s reality as people don’t agree if that recent RAGE article is real ~ a very Bitcoin cash moment
