Odell, you used to be a hero to me in the Bitcoin community. The way you championed privacy and freedom tech (e-cash, CoinJoin, Mutiny Wallet, PayJoin etc) was inspiring. Your strong advocacy for freedom and your bold stance against KYC were important. You told those privacy-hating governments to go f© themselves. I loved that!
You seemed like a true freedom fighter. Now you don't take a clear stance in an important debate. It seems like you've adopted a more non-aggressive approach, avoiding clear expressions of your opinions and steering away from contentious issues. I first noticed this change in your stance regarding Saylor and open source development. Now I see you being quiet about the censorship and power grab by certain Core developers.
I hope I'm wrong. But it’s disappointing and disheartening to say the least.
You’re either new or retard or both if you think knots vs core matters. Congratulations on being a dumb fuck.
He’s a VC now. Things change when you sell out.
This is why we shouldn't have heros. Good sign we are still growing though.
I'm going to remember this one for later.
Indeed he's choosing not to think it through and have a real stance. Even his refusal to commit to Knots is not based on reason, just propaganda.
Sadge indeed
I think you're wrong. Even if you're right, it doesn't really matter. Nobody's perfect. Educate, don't blame. Start up a podcast. Its just not right to turn on someone the moment they have a different opinion or are not thinking through it on your schedule.
It matters for the ego; which is as good of reason as any
Please do. If I end up being the retarded one I’ll gladly eat a slice of humble pie.
I'll eat mine now. I could be wrong already. I am a offgrid solar bitcoin miner. I know what it looks like to me. Never been called stuoid by a person who knkws me. And I don't understand why people call others names when having different POV. Why are we so obsessed with being right or wrong. We all can see it differently. Not sure if we will ever have consensus on who was right or wrong. Maybe. I am running knots because it makes more sense to me. Not sure what that makes me retarded.
VIRTUAL ZAP! ⚡️⚡️⚡️(tried twice..."unable to zap")
in hindsight my position on saylor was probably too aggressive, half of bitcoin twitter hates me for that
my position on this issue has been clear and transparent, discussed at length on both my shows and nostr for over a year

Maybe you should have posted that in ALL CAPS?
most people cannot handle the caps
too provocative
People need to adjust to the new normal in the Post Caps era.
there was a conference at the hotel i was staying at yesterday, topic was the new normal
this must have been what they were discussing
It is a proper and conservative stance. One that carries respect. I was running Satoshi v. 27.0/ for almost two years and it worked just fine. I now run knots but understand hesitance on switching with only one dev. I am a fan of node configurability and I believe my nodes resources should be spent on relaying legitimate transactions, not spam that happened to have a cryptographic signature.
Wish I could zap!
Slay your heroes
We need more implementation teams. I find how both sides acted the last couple months to be what I'd expect out of a shitcoin project.
Wouldn't be surprised if this stupidity leads to a company with deep pockets coming out with a "Red Hat" version, either. Watched this same infighting shit play out in the Unix and *nix spaces.
agree, working on it

Most people are immature. You cannot expect the most vocal morons to always be the most reasonable people on that side. Mechanic has been very, very reasonable but a lot of the people following along just regurgitate talking points and are unreasonable pricks.
The additional trouble is that the core side did not even have any reasonable arguments whatsoever and everyone in charge of making decisions there acted in bad faith.
Yep. I've been on the knots side, or the "we need more options" side, but I've been annoyed by other people on this side using it as excuse to be nasty to people. They do more harm than good.
you are a big disgrace, gfy dipshit.
I'm missing something here.
Everything that’s wrong with Bitcoin in one picture:
1) legitimate concerns quickly dismissed
2) trusting without verification
3) a well respected OG amplifying the former two
And it took us less than 2 decades to get this cucked.

I just want to say thankyou for the opportunity.
As institutional investors and retirement funds dump Bitcoin in response to core 30 release, it gives us the opportunity to buy the dip.
When enough idiots update to core 30 it will create a hard fork and obviously the blockchain WITHOUT THE CHILD PORN AND SPAM will retain the name Bitcoin.
After the fork all the investors and retirement funds will come back.
Because we've already seen this playout before.
I love how you all uncritically buy the CP narrative the gatekeeping peddle you, rather than realizing this is them doing what they do, gatekeeping and dogmatically keeping purity and shunning sinners and disbelievers.
It's not about CP, it's about bringing DeFi to Bitcoin using zk proofs for finality on the Bitcoin L1.
No hard-fork needed, those are and will be valid transactions.
Thought you all enjoyed free markets? Or is that support wavered once the free market does things (like bitcoin defi) you don't want it to do?
These new bitcoiners, I swear. lol.
Lol, "defi." Whatever you think that means, its a scam.
