The goal isn’t to replace Core with Knots as the new de facto monopoly.
The goal is to decentralize full node software so no single group can push through contentious changes.

What could I do to help prevent any group from "unilaterally" enforcing potentially harmful changes? Just run as many nodes as possible?
Spinning up multiple nodes doesn’t do much. The important steps are to run your own node and hash with your own miner. And speak out when you see overreach.
And actually use Bitcoin for buying goods and services.
If I find anyone accepting it, I'll be sure to do so 👌🏻
I don't know of better tools than most, ocean, and datum to do it all.

Why is Adam Back so biased on the Node software discussion?
Is his position based on the inventives of being the CEO of a “ for profit “ corporation or as an OG Bitcoiner
He’s a tiny hat that enjoys CSAM.
We (the node runners) are the consensus. #RunningKnots #Knots
crazy there's so few node runners in the first place. Everyone leaving it to everyone else to sort shit out.
Yeah and if Knot fucks around they will find out too
Exactly.
Other than core and knots, what's the next most used/useful?
Probably Libbitcoin
Wha? Is that not a shitcoin?
No it's a Bitcoin node stack written from scratch. Still a work in progress.
Okay, I gotta get more info then. What's up with the shitcoiny name? I'd never look past that name.
I'm pretty sure the lib stands for libre ... The free in "free speech". And also for library. As the library in computer science...
"In computer science, a "lib" or library is a collection of pre-written, reusable code (like functions and classes) designed to perform common tasks, allowing developers to build complex applications more efficiently by leveraging existing solutions rather than rewriting them from scratch."
This is neat, but I was asking about node clients. I searched it, but the results were useless.

Libbitcoin
C++ Bitcoin Development Toolkit and Applications. Libbitcoin has 17 repositories available. Follow their code on GitHub.
This sounds so bcaish, that I feel something is healing between Bitcoiners who split because of Core capture.
The good news this chart depicts that nobody is talking about for this debate is that only 17% of node runners are staying up to date with the latest version of core.
That percentage drops to 2% if you want to be super precise 😉
