Gents, I'm going to need tutorials on how to get a blake2b rig rocking and rollin. We are talking start9, datum maybe or other mining software, wallet, how to not mix Bitcoin with corecoins that I may or may not still have, ect. Somebody get Paul Lamb on the line. We need you Paul

Nodes don’t make rules. They enforce them.

I am reading as well about ways to mine it. Looking into xmrig with -a blake2b option.

What an opportunity for new content creators that can do tutorials on how this will all get set up. What wallets/clients to use, how to mine, what hardware/software, pooling mining set ups, how to mix/not mix coins between Corecoin and Bitcoin, node set up with/without start9, ect. I hope people like Paul Lamb will come help with that. Or maybe we see a whole new group.

Dam Oceans hashrate is close to the same on legacy/bip 110 chain because there was a large drop on the legacy side. Is it because luke left for the HF? Are miners saving up for the PoW change to mine on that one? What an interesting time to be in Bitcoin. So much experimenting and learning we are going to do in the coming weeks and months. It's going to be really exciting atleast. Bitcoin is definitely not boring right now

I run a node. Blocks still have a maximum size. In a long time maybe my disk will be full and I will buy an other one. Costs of disks go down. There are ~ 100k bitcoin nodes which is not enough but pr...

Just by another one I guess haha. What a first world view. Wouldn't it be great if a poor family in Guatemala could be self sovereign and run a node too? Wouldn't it be great they could escape government debasement and further decentralize the network?
I wouldn't deter the HF angle. I think it's worth while engaging with the idea that it's actually 5 mining pools forked off and decided the direction of Bitcoin in the face of 20,000 node runes. It was only 20% and not a majority, even though I'm not claiming the system is some kind of democracy, that's something to chew on. What if we had 80% of nodes running rdts? Would that have even changed the outcome? Seemed like most core people celebrated on the first non-signalling block. Is it really ant pool that decides the fate of the network?
I do still support actively stirring the ship within the legacy chain as well. I think supporting the HF and fixing it from within with bips are not mutually exclusive positions, especially because it's an airdrop.
I do believe most reasonable people in Bitcoin want to fight spam, and I'm willing to accept that bip 110 was not good enough. I personally really liked the CAT idea.

The best thing Knots can do is continue to offer a viable alternative to Core on the longest chain. Forking off into irrelevance accomplishes nothing.

Agree. Support the movement on multiple fronts. Continue to support the HF and see where it goes. We can also introduce BIPs to mend the culture and write the ship. Understand why we only had 20% in support and adjust while maintaining the same monentary maxi principles. I for one was really interested in the CAT. Maybe that can get more traction. Maybe we are fucked and even with 60% in support of a BIP isn't enough and the miners, big Bitcoin, ect is in charge, but I'm still willing to keep fighting because this project is too important

I run a node. Blocks still have a maximum size. In a long time maybe my disk will be full and I will buy an other one. Costs of disks go down. There are ~ 100k bitcoin nodes which is not enough but probably not because of the cost. I was against change in core relay policy and run knots (pre rtds)...

Thank you for supporting the UASF effort. I respect the choice. I was also against it at first. But this won’t be quite like any other hard fork in the past. Part of my hesitation was because we hav...

I agree. And I would add that we can support the HF and have others stay on legacy and propose other bips to take back the culture and the projects direction. It may fail, but with a project so important, I think it's worth a shot
