"We've lost Core as an open source project." This is the sad truth.

Excellent postmortem on Bitcoin Core by @hodlonaut View quoted note →

"others including Harding were paid for their Optech work" I was an unpaid volunteer.

Congratulations? 🤪

Any other inaccuracies?

MASTERPIECE of Investigative Journalism! What a joy it is to read evident TRUTH. Core.Are.Compromised. Running Bitcoin Knots and BIP 110!

Important work View quoted note →

LMAO

Legendary!

I've read a little bit less than half and it is an interesting read. After what I've read Newberry might be bad actor, these are some really concerning tactics he's using. You should be grateful for Spacecats analysis, I know it's informative for me. I like to also see how narratives unfold in particular time. Some cover up is blowing? Imagine yourself an arrow between bad and good, arrow moves closer to bad. Its not decisive but it is some pointer. Cover happen -> something beneath Also look at time how things happen, timing points if something is organised. If 6 people standing near a table grabbed it in same (or close to same) time then it is organised. Not only same rhetorics but also timing can point to association. Lukes behavior might be an effect of spying on him. Idk if it is but guy like Luke definitely gets a lot of attention from USraeli terrorists known as CIA. View quoted note →

My friend, this is massive and commendable work. It reads simultaneously like a book and a science paper. I lays everything out in the open, receipts and everything. I wish mainstream journalism was like that. Huge respect 🫡

If you still run Bitcoin Core, you’re obligated to find time and read this start to finish. View quoted note →

But he did HUNDREDS OF HOURS of research! 😬

"unpaid volunteer" doesnt invalidate "paid for their opthec work" a "hardcore harding fallacy" 😂 cc @Jameson Lopp quickly harding slopping 🤣

hardCore fallacy 😆 View quoted note →

@primal why is this post not shown on Tending 24h? Clearly has more than enough engagement. View quoted note →

If you're still running Core you're hopeless. I will acknowledge every flaw in knots or any other implementation, but the flaws of Core are worse. View quoted note →

Thank you

no inaccuracy just harding's fallacy

Really appreciate you doing these detail analysis. It sounds very familiar to a certain virus where open and transparent discussion are not encouraged. Attempting to belittle and name calling to silence questions are normally a sign that you are over the target. Keep going and looking forward to part 3 and 4 .

Nothing is lost

You can’t attack the ideas so you attack the people

Congrats, you just went full retard.

"The Lever" raises important questions about power dynamics in Bitcoin Core—something that parallels debates around ETF issuers influencing price action. I recently read an analysis showing how ETF flows in 2026 reshaped market leverage, with some funds bleeding assets due to fee wars and tracking errors. Worth comparing these centralized choke points to Core’s governance.
