I discovered a few days ago that
luke-jr is maintaining this bitcoin node and wallet software. It is openly against the use of OP_RETURN for ordinals or whatever they want to throw there.
I see Luke jr is still active in both bitcoin core and bitcoinknots github.
Are a lot of people using Knotz?
https://bitcoinknots.org/#abouthttps://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoinI don't know much about it. I saw Cobra was talking that Knotz could become the new reference, so this comment brought my attention to this software.here.
Does anyone has more information about what else is going on here? I don't see such discussions in bitcointalk forum
Is that about Bitcoin Knots and its filtering of non-financial transactions? Do the Bitcoin Core developers, collectively, actually need to be dictators in this situation and tell everyone what tramsactions are good and what are bad? Because from the network's viewpoint, transactions are transactions and should be allowed if they didn't break any rules.
Plus why would Bitcoin Knots become the "reference implementation"? Because the Core Developers won't activate any filters for "dirty transactions" in Bitcoin Core? Because they haven't made their position "official" in the matter?
