"Bitcoin Core's view (going all the way back to Satoshi, AFAICT) is that Bitcoin is a system secured by economics and self interest. The knots vision of Bitcoin seems to be a system (in)secured by altruistic hope and populist theocracy-- by cancel culture and paper straw bans." HRF's Finney Freedom Prize laureate

Duuuuudddeee - learn about this issue. Core v30 opens the floodgates for VC backed startups to store huge amounts of arbitrary data on the Bitcoin blockchain. That’s not what Bitcoin is about. Bitcoin is money - not storage. Knots doesn’t magically fix the spam problem, but they are working on it rather than enabling it. Do the work to read the Core developer mailing list and GitHub threads. Core rejected this change twice in the past two years because it’s bad for Bitcoin and therefore controversial. In v30 they pushed through unlimited data storage despite there still being a lot of disagreement - AND they are still unable to make a coherent argument for why we need to change this default that’s been working fine since 2014. image
