Just reject the Core v30 malware.
But the point is that Core devs are compromised, don't put your head in the sand.
Core devs are compromised.
Core V30 is a malware.
Run Bitcoin Knots, it fixes not only OP_RETURN but also inscriptions spam which Core devs intentionally allowed.

Keep misguiding your followers coward...!!!
Your reputation damage will be so hard that I doubt if you will ever recover from it once spam war settles down and shitcoin core gets completely obliterated. It will also likely affect Ten31, Opensats and Nostr.
You being CERTIFIED CORECUCK was not on my bingo card for this year.


the coward move would be to give in to your harassment and blindly recommend people run knots
go fuck yourself
Thanks for showing your true color...!!!
Bitcoiners who like to give blind recommendation are running malware moron and Bitcoiners who understand bitcoin as a money are running knots.
GTFO...!!!
musical version:
Okay, why doesn't everyone just shut up and listen to @NVK πβ‘οΈ ? Maybe he has the right approach.
"just do nothing."
Some of us want lightning to improve. Also, even NVK said he wants to see covenants. He's just saying in lieu of them he doesn't see a reason to upgrade. And he's right about that. What's alarming is that both major development teams are behaving like children, so those improvements we want seem further away than ever.
Yes just do nothing so commie core devs can easily turn bitcoin into ethereum or inefficient data storage.
So inform yourself and recommend Knots NON-blindlyπ€¦ββοΈ
seems more reasonable to run core 28 or 29
are you going to bring on more maintainers or is your plan to just keep shipping knots releases on your own
Please recommend 29, not 28. 29 enables zero-fee-commitments for lightning, which is a really important feature in some cases!

thnx for this... I could have used this many times over the past five years.
no version of core can detect inscriptions
Only one maintainer ships each Core release.
The "on your own" has always been nothing but FUD.
the latest core release was signed by over ten people
the latest knots release was only signed by you
That's simply not true at all.
Though I am on Knots side of the debate, I agree with you on this point. This is pretty much just harassment. Fellow Knots lovers, shut the fuck up, tone down your angry voices ok?
He's dealing with a bit of harassment. In his mind that's a good excuse to blame you for it and also believe any other untrue things about you or Knots or Bitcoin that he feels like believing on a whim. Not justified reasoning but that is how most people think, sadly.
i checked both myself, please explain what is not true to all of us?
more than 10 signatures: https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-30.0/SHA256SUMS.asc
only your sig: https://bitcoinknots.org/files/29.x/29.2.knots20251010/SHA256SUMS.asc
anyone can verify that themselves, weird thing to lie about
Releases can only be signed by True Catholics, of which Luke is the only one (all other self proclaimed Christians are heretics according to Luke Logic)
The answer is obviously the most retarded: Luke considers all signatures from the Core version to be signatures for the Knots extension/fork.
You canβt reason with mentally ill delusionals hashtag Bitcoinβs savior hashtag ardent catholic aka the global boy rape cult

Enjoy your irrelevancy, pathetic stooge shill
There are 3 signatures in the Knots 29.2 signature file.
Your brainless retarded comment only shows your 0 intellect.
Does the great Odell not even know how to view a basic text file? π
There's already 3 signers for the builds, with likely more coming.
I'd like to see more "don't trust - verify" on both sides. That's basically the same as "bring receipts." An passionate argument with no receipts is worthless, and conflating name calling with an argument is actually detrimental to the side people think they're on. Tbh I'm sick of seeing this. Wherever you see some doing this, even if they're on the same "side," fucking shut them down. Win by being right, not by bullying, and don't tolerate that crap.
It is possible Luke swapped it out file at that path since Odell saw it but idk how likely that is. Idk
Itβs signed by Luke and bigshiny90@gmail.com
Bitcoinβs sole intent.
Letβs keep on task please.


3 sigs as of this morning.. more guix happening. What are you even talking about?
3 signatures and counting, verified myself. Did you?


I attested all Knots releases since v25.1. knots20231115.
Haven't attested v29.2.knots20251010 yet because it just came out. Thanks for the reminder.
he swapped the file, look at the timestamp of the last sig
glad there are more signers
Signature file on GitHub says itβs 4 hours old. Did you verify when it first came out I guess?


curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releases/tags/v29.2.knots20251010" | jq '.published_at'
"2025-10-10T23:19:47Z"
Fax π @ODELL
Oh shit. You said Go Fuck Yourself. Impressive π«‘
Thatβs when the release was published.
The signature file was updated at my local time 8:57AM today. Odellβs tweet was at 9:51AM.
Sounds like a misunderstanding
To be fair to him, judging by the timestamps, it doesnβt look like it was done as a response to your note.
But a few days ago was just a single signature.
curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releases/tags/v29.2.knots20251010" | jq '.updated_at'
"2025-10-13T13:57:16Z"
Correct
Shiny signed it 2 days ago atraxia an hour-ish before your note

π―. Thanks for putting yourself out there and putting up with these fools.
And for reference Odells note about only one signature was at 2025-10-13T13:28:25Z and 30 minutes later 2025-10-13T13:57:16Z the signature file is updated on github with 2 more signatures.
He totally did.
The 2nd signature was created 2 days ago. Not sure when it was added to the GitHub release.

Glad to see this discussion happening on Nostr, as it should be.
Are you gonna give it a try now? π
Yes. I am just correcting my criticism. Odell does in fact know how to read a text file π. The file was swapped out after he checked it.
π nice everyone shake hands.
@ODELL come up with a better reason why you donβt like knots
Looking forward to a 3rd implementation, I hate core more than I love knots.
Not that anyone cares about my opinion, but I think the reason for the lack of consensus with core vs knots is became everyone is arguing over tradeoffs.
It's a tradeoff between decentralization and censorship resistance.
We can't have 100% of both. There is a dial in between and where should we set that dial.
I donβt agree with that framing, filtering out a certain class of txns (spam) isnβt censorship.
Censorship is filtering out individual txns based on individual characteristics.
Filters have been around forever, theyβve been working just fine.
The busy body dumbfucks at core should have left things alone. If they wanted to tinker with fun little open source projects they should have found something else and left my money alone.
Filtering out a certain class of transactions isn't censorship (agreed), but it does resemble ad blocker behavior which is a form of centralization. In ad blockers, they all query a centralized list, or have trended to do so. Gov can put pressure on anything that is centralized. Yes filters work. That's the problem and solution unfortunately. Hence tradeoff between censorship resistance and decentralization.
Just keep running core 28 or 29 if you don't like knots
this still does not prove that bitcoin core is not compromised. the ethical thing to do is to push for no core upgrades
Not sure most people are aware of the benefits (I'm not).
My understanding is that the commitment transaction is basically the transactions you are "passing around" with the other side of a lightning channel, your updates to the "bar tab". There is an issue that if these are too old, when you try to force close a channel, it fails because the fee to the miner is too low, so we need a mechanism for either side to bump the fee.
If this is correct, can you complete it with why is it important to support zero fee commitments and what exactly do they solve? (Or share a link π)
There we go.
7 signers (so far) for Knots v29.2.knots20251010.

More Parker Lewis, less Odells.
Definitely. That happens when you decide funding through brink and can not accept that you actually gave money to a shitcoiner scammer compromised children who can code.
The source of corruption and compromise of the Core devs.

Do you know who see Bitcoin as data storage?
You guessed it, Citrea the shitcoiners.
Also Citrea EVM means Ethereum (shitcoin) Virtual Machine.
Jameson Lopp the shitcoiner is investor in Citrea.
"We're hearing things like Citrea is better than Ethereum," Chainway Labs co-founder Orkun Mahir KΔ±lΔ±Γ§ told CoinDesk. "It'll be better with time, because there's like $1 trillion, as of now, sitting in the Bitcoin blockchain. It is the most secure, battle-tested and decentralized blockchain. And we are bringing decentralized finance to it." π€‘π€‘π€‘

https://www.coinglass.com/news/912271) citrea is shitcoin garbage
2) i donβt think citrea controls core devs
3) if you are concerned about core devs being desperate to take shitcoin money consider supporting independent funding orgs or donate to devs directly
Not all but majority of them. Their actions have root cause.
How would you explain their actions to blow up OP_RETRUN and this direct cause from Citrea?
How do you explain Core devs not fixing inscriptions spam?

See the compromised Core devs who rejected Luke's PR that fixes inscription spam. They are the bad actors (the NACKers)
They revealed themselves with their public comments on OP_RETRUN being dishonest and manipulative.
The guys that ACKed are the good guys we have.

What are you running Odell?
So forcing all Bitcoin node runners to permanently store CSAM if it mistakenly gets mined is no concern at all? Nothing to see here
that's messed up
Seems like your promoting complacency.
Actively brushing over sharing child porn. Rad.
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 fΒ© 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 itβs disappointing and disheartening to say the least.
Youβre either new or retard or both if you think knots vs core matters. Congratulations on being a dumb fuck.
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 Iβll 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! β‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈ(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
View quoted note β
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 thatβs 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.
View quoted note β
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.
