Does Luke suck to work with? Clearly Is he out over his skis on the csam stuff? Yeah I think so Is Luke the reason people are running knots? Not really. People are mad at core, and core can fix this with one simple trick. Literally just bring back datacarriersize and let people do the thing that everyone says does not matter.

I’d like to repeat that no amount of nytimes hit pieces will make me think that Luke Dash Jr is a bad dev who is bad for bitcoin. And people who think this is a good strategy do not understand the problem

Oh Nick Szabo’s back 👀

It seems like core thinks that if Luke just goes away everything will be fine, but I don’t think people really are following Luke as much as they’re reacting to how core was moving. The nice part is that it’s much easier to smooth things over with your users than to make someone disappear

Idk I think people should be free to have bad ideas in private

I moved to NH with the free state project in 2013. That has a certain connotation to it now, because a lot of people who moved really sort of just flailed their arms around and made a performative scene. Still do. What made me come back, and stay, were the people who got in deep and changed things. A lot of freedoms here the loud ones talk about that were unlocked by the quiet ones.
