Don't come crying when Luke introduces a consensus bug and you are out of the chain.
People have been warning about this for years, with not just Knots, but any alternative client as we don't have an independent consensus library, because nobody is funding the development to get it.

The fuck?
I said God-forbid I should fall out of consensus, meaning, Lopp's public bludgeoning of Luke is not something to which I am particularly partial to being subjected, as that was his main charge, as I understood it, against Dash, that he's is repeatedly "not in consensus."
I'm sure if Lopp could send him for "re-education" they would.
Another thing is, I'm not even sure why Lopp would even dirty his hands on this.

Lopp's whole thesis is how Dash is "not in consensus" on seemingly common sense cypherpunk-y values. He is making a false analogy in protocol consensus and social consensus.
Therefore, woe to anyone if they should fall out of this so-called "consensus" is what I'm saying.

Is it tho?
Conways law states that organizations design systems based on their communication, that is we write software the way we behave and communicate with each other. It’s all fractal reflections of invisible structures, each subsystem is similar the more you zoom in.
It is not absurd to state that a contentious, frequently half-truth spouting and authoritarian leader would write software that is contentious, non-truthful and authoritarian.

sounds speculative at best
the commentary here is not based so much on the how of Dash's communication but the what
saying Einstein was a bad physicist because he was a Jew is complete hogwash, and surely not an argument you would accept? very low standard, even for Lopp, I daresay

You are misstating the argument.
It’s about individual behaviors, not genetics or lineage or even religion.
Luke has a decade and more of unacceptable behavior in this and other projects. Calling into question his ability to lead a project is absolutely valid. It’s not even about nitpicking some IRC comment, it’s year after year of poisonous actions. Even this whole affair is poison that Bitcoin did not need.

not very well versed myself in the typical attacks against the Jews, but for sure the piece discusses religion
For example, he often talks about being a Roman Catholic... but he's not in consensus with what basically everybody considers to be Catholicism
as i said before, woe to me if I should fall out of favour with the high priests of bitcoin
reply
You’re arguing in bad faith and trying to make it a religious thing. I won’t argue anything along the road you are trying to lead.
It’s about a crazy man doing crazy things. Not about religion.
let he who is without sin throw the first turd
