nice! tell me more about your fork why did you make it?

for each one, I linked to their githubs so that you can review their contributions. Here are some examples of each person's contributions: - leo_haf got this code merged: https://github.com/bitcoinknots/guix.sigs/pull/32 - bigshiny90 got this code merged: https://github.com/bitcoinknots/guix.sigs/pull/37 - ataraxia got this code merged: https://github.com/bitcoinknots/guix.sigs/pull/38 - pithosian created this pull request, which has not yet been merged: https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/pull/135 - Chris Guida reviewed the above-mentioned pull request - Floppy Disk Guy reviewed it too - dr0ther created this docker container for Knots: https://github.com/dr0ther/bitcoin-knots-docker - Kurtis worked on the font and imagery used in Knots: https://github.com/KurtisStirling/Bitcoin-Knots-Brand/commits?author=KurtisStirling - kwsantiago created this pull request, which has not yet been merged: https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/pull/154

At least 10 devs deliberately contribute to Knots: 1 x.com/LukeDashjr, https://github.com/luke-jr 2 x.com/leo_haf, https://github.com/retropex 3 x.com/bigshiny90, https://github.com/bigshiny90 4 x.com/009Ataraxi71445, https://github.com/ataraxia009 5 https://github.com/pithosian 6 x.com/cguida6, https://github.com/chrisguida 7 x.com/1440000bytes, https://github.com/1440000bytes 8 x.com/dr0ther, https://github.com/dr0ther 9 x.com/Kurtis_NZ, https://github.com/KurtisStirling 10 https://github.com/kwsantiago Any others?

I have identified 3 c++ devs who intentionally work on Knots: 1. Luke Dashjr (x.com/LukeDashjr, github.com/luke-jr) 2. Retropex (x.com/leo_haf, github.com/retropex) 3. Bigshiny90 (x.com/bigshiny90, github.com/bigshiny90) Anyone else? I hope at least 15 people do so.

That does not seem to be true for the reasons I outline in this post:

There is a meme going around that Luke Dashjr is the only maintainer of Bitcoin Knots. This seems implausible to me with all the attention Knots has gotten lately. Can anyone point to anyone else who works on it? Or step up and say "Luke is not alone, I work on Knots too"?

Here's a screenshot of me interacting with an unregistered nostr relay. In the pic, I send it an event and retrieve that event from it. Proof that nostr works fine without DNS or icann. Stick an unregistered relay in your nprofile and boom: social networking with no DNS.

Hi, worry it took me 3 days to get back to you, I am preparing for a workshop in Europe. Did you try testing your implementation on the NWC tester? https://supertestnet.github.io/nwc_tester/ I recommend doing it with a backend that definitely works first, like this one: https://supertestnet.github.io/bankify/ One you have seen it work with a known-working backend, try it with your backend. Inspect the code bases to see what you are doing differently from the known-working one.

"Super, what do you think of ?"

BTW I include the word "deliberately" because, in an important way, Knots has a bunch of "accidental" contributors. Basically everyone who contributes to Bitcoin Core also contributes to Knots, knowingly or not, because Knots is mostly just Core with some patches.

If your only objection is that the example I gave for Leo wasn't actually code, I hope the attached post strengthens the case. Let me know if any of the others shouldn't count.

I am grateful that Knots exists for several reasons. One is as a useful social signal: many of the people frustrated by the predominant attitude toward spam in bitcoin opt to signal that frustration by switching to Knots; some make it their first node. I think that is a good thing, and strengthens bitcoin both socially and in terms of network health. I also think the default mempool policy in Knots is wiser than the one in Core. That said, I do not personally use Knots. I often use Core to test my software and ensure it can work on mainnet.

Update: I found 10!

This ataraxia? https://x.com/009Ataraxi71445 Does he have a github or other link where I cam view his contributions?

The myth is busted
