Core's arrogance and recklessness in uncapping OP_RETURN in the face of broad and real controversy is imo where the ego is found. It predictably created the current situation. I get zero impression t...

The day Bitcoin Core developers bend to the pressure of a misguided Twitter mob riled up by populist social media influencers, instead of merging code based on their best technical judgement, is the day the codebase should be forked to re-establish sound engineering practices.

Bitcoin Knots is the fork of the compromised Core devs and Bitcoin being decentralized shows that Core is irrelevant. Bitcoin Plebs can run what they choose it best represents Bitcoin. The Bitcoin immune system is working.

i guess its good that it exposes that Bitcoin governance is de facto "social pressure on Core" which is indeed a fucking stupid way to run an important software project but its probably better than "Core just decides themselves without any social input at all"

How could this ever work? Who would be the devs in the new fork? Who would trust those devs?

Yes the location of the code is irrelevant

ah, sound engineering like core bend to shitrea 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🪢🛡️⚒️🌊

Devs who know somethimg about money please, not the kind of faggots that run core.

How is capping arbitrary data a “technical argument” that can be judged by “technical judgement” rather than a philosophical position on what bitcoin is and what it should optimise for? Deciding about this is much more about “should we take the risk of jeopardizing Bitcoin as money for it...

Technical judgement is how you determine the best way to achieve a goal. It does not tell you what goals should be pursued. The claim that technical judgement is all that matters is why core devs are perceived as arrogant.

We use to call that consensus. Now you’re telling people to trust the so called experts. It’s not just about the code. Anyone one these guys could have coded bitcoin. But they didn’t because it’s more than just code.

I’m not sure “merging code based on their best technical judgement” can be taken for granted when there are definitely financial interests involved. The current funding and some pasts of the devs, means that they like us, cannot be absolutely neutral. No man is above his incentives. Assuming...

What's in the pipeline for op return that requires no limits?
