If this is a serious question then I feel like I should give my 2 satoshi. I will attach a picture that shows I ran core on my start 9. Then all of this happened and I upgraded to knots. So the logo is still core, but the name and features changed to knots.
We don’t want just 1 option. We would love to have core, knots and a few more. Most bitcoiners have 10 different wallets. Not because we need them. It’s because it is cool. We are nerdy like that.
So we are switching to knots because we want to configure our node in our own home, or in our control to the way we like it. We respect what developers do. All developers no matter if they work at core, knots, Libre….ect.
It sounds to me like developers don’t respect developers if anything. I’m not bashing anyone on anything they have said in the past. I am strictly trying to make the point that Luke says he has an idea to stop the UTXO bloat and there is no mention of how it can be made better, or worse, or implemented ect.
For this bitcoin thing to work we all need each other. I understand as a developer you have a huge burden of responsibility to ensure that things keep working, but Satoshi said it best. “Peer to peer electronic cash”
If it isn’t supporting the title of the white paper, or the first sentence of the paper… then what are we really talking about? It’s more of a popularity contest.
When I say we need each other I specifically am talking about the world wide collective. Bitcoin is still running without Satoshi, so I am not being outright disrespectful by thinking that Bitcoin needs ME specifically. I have killed that ego a long long time ago.
