Could always use more hands on deck

Guess I replied to the wrong post...I meant the top one

Assuming good faith, Odell, you seem to have this habit of posting before verifying...

Got a source for that? That would indicate the only reason they haven't done it to Bitcoin yet is building this narrative / waiting for more Core 30 adoption...

No, your framing is dishonest. Respectively, each scenario is: - no CSAM: no jail - no CSAM: no jail - no CSAM: no jail - CSAM: jail

No, the Core maintainers also function as maintainers in Knots too. Saying I'm the sole maintainer because I roll the releases is like saying Gloria is the sole maintainer of Core 29.x.

It was never just a Luke project and I was never closed to more involvement. This quote is just FUD,

They're not interested in listening. They're interested in better gaslighting.

No. Filters work.

Except they're still acting tyrannical, just want you to "just be friends" without them stopping

Sounds like he's lying to you. Bitcoin is currently on fire and that fact won't change until Core30 is recalled, and Core 30.1 adds the spam filters back.

Eight, actually*

I tried decentralised funding (via Patreon, GitHub Sponsors, and Bitcoin) for years. It just doesn't get enough donations to be viable. You can disagree with their funding decisions, but at the end, I think we do need organizations like OpenSats to arrange funding.

Only one maintainer ships each Core release. The "on your own" has always been nothing but FUD.

Even if we survive this attack by Core30, this situation where I personally have to save Bitcoin every few years needs to stop. Bitcoin cannot survive if it's dependent on one man. Others need to step up more. https://x.com/LukeDashjr/status/1975942110047252776

Braiins no longer runs a pool, they just proxy to Antpool. But again... anything but F2Pool is an improvement for now. Lots of people use DATUM on a Raspberry Pi. Though Pi isn't very good at running a node since the last spam wave.

F2Pool is actively attacking the network RIGHT NOW. All it takes is one attacker to send them a single instance of CSAM, and Bitcoin users will have to knowingly and intentionally receive, store, and distribute it until the end of time. This will permanently impact Bitcoin adoption regardless of whether governments turn a blind eye or prosecute. If miners are going to switch pools when they do bad things, NOW IS THE TIME. I don't care if you switch to Foundry or even Antpool. Obviously I would prefer you make your own blocks and use OCEAN, but this is too critical and time-sensitive to be picky. We can work on mining decentralization and spam issues over a longer period of time, but CSAM is an insta-kill we MUST avoid.
