10 sats \ 2 replies \ @nerd2ninja 3 Oct \ on: Which Fork will you Sell and/or Keep? Bitcoin Knots vs Bitcoin Core bitcoin
If knots forked I would ping Luke with a "What the hell... Why?" (I don't think knots will fork) because a consensus level change is completely unnecessary. This is just a mempool policy that users get to independently decide on.
I am once again asking for Bitcoin nodes to be more modular and less monolithic
If users get to decide, and everyone is free and honorable in their choice of which node software to run...
Then why do Knots users care what Core does? Core users can run Core, and Knots users can run Knots etc and that way everyone can be happy.
Everyone is free to set their own mempool/relay policies as they see fit...
Why would it matter then what 'percentage' of the network runs Knots if it is purely an individual choice? It could be 2%, it could be 65% it's purely an individual choice... and people can mine or relay etc whatever they choose based usually on fees/ideology/personal preference etc.
I agree that it is just mempool policy... but being that it is, it doesn't really matter what Core does because everyone is free to choose their own mempool policies and participate together.
To say otherwise... doesn't make sense to me.

Why do knots users care what core does?
-
Knots users are people who were core users. The complaints represent a desire to return if core started doing what they wanted again.
-
Knots uses core as a base. Luke reimplements all of his changes on the newest forked version of Core every release.
As far as why the percents matter... I could explain it, but it's been explained to death and don't care about it to begin with lol.
