Usually I wouldn’t amplify this kind of low-signal trash, but honestly I’ve seen more people than I can count try to claim I’m somehow being “paid off” because they think anyone who questions their Knots religion MUST be “compromised.”

Let me spell this out clearly: no one is paying me for my opinions on the efficacy of filters.

I’ve also never told anyone to run core, and have said many times you should run whatever node software you want, and that you don’t need to update your node software because it’s backwards compatible. I don’t care what you do, and neither does Bitcoin.

Until we have different ***consensus rules*** we’re all bitcoiners.

You’re free to run whatever node software you want.

Go out and touch some grass, then try creating value and stacking more sats instead of being playing identity politics with your relay policy.
