So currently Luke hasn't posted or replied to any of this on nostr. Which is currently the only platform is use, if he has posted a comment about this article on X. Can you share it to me please to make sure I can get all the facts. Also I don't wait I do tag them to see their input on things, get it straight from them. Also a lot of people will follow blindly to someone as vocal as Luke and Mechanic. Theyve made this sound like its the end times for Bitcoin and only by running their Fork of Bitcoin core. (The node software not the actual chain) then it will be saved. If they don't get their way they might try to work towards a fork to the chain. Also its really easy to game the number of nodes out there. You just need a VPS, some credit and you can pop in an extra 5% more Knots users. Me personally I don't like the way core is managing the implementation since I'm a heavy power user that has a mining farm going and it actively removes certain things I need. But that doesn't mean I'll move to Knots which is only maintained by Luke and two other folks. With his history of bad OPSEC I say running a older version of core is safer than knots.

Ok man, listen- you aren’t stupid enough to update to software that hard forks Bitcoin right? Neither am I, let’s not assume the intelligence of others or “the masses” PS. Those people don’t run nodes
