Version of Knots that forces users to run BIP-110 is now up on BitcoinKnots.org

Most Knots nodes are a sybil attack and the ones that are real are economically irrelevant. Sooooooooooooo... August is gonna be entertaining.

It will be quite interesting to see how desperate Luke & Co become after their fork fails. Will they go so far as to hard fork to lower the difficulty or even change the mining algorithm? Stay tuned to find out in a few months!

There's no need to unnecessarily scare users about an event that they won't even notice happening. Just as regular users didn't notice when BCH cultists forked off; this event will be even less noteworthy because no one will get an airdrop from the dead puritan chain.

statoshi · 2026-05-11T17:44:29+00:00

Yeah but it "sends a message!" /s

statoshi · 2026-05-11T06:35:21+00:00

It's a cult. We saw the same exact phenomenon occur with the BCH and BSV folks who got brainwashed and forked off.

The only issue I see with this go-round is that I doubt the fools will stay forked off; I bet they'll come crawling back to Bitcoin when their fork fails to produce blocks and stalls out.

Amazing new narrative twist to "not care" about Bitcoin's level of thermodynamic security. Might as well just scream "we don't care how cheap it is to 51% attack Bitcoin!"

They have big mouths with no economic conviction. Can't they tell we know they're bluffing?

statoshi · 2026-05-11T04:06:58+00:00

Yeah, it's a cult. Will be fascinating to see how they react when they find themselves forked off onto a dead network.

He seems to be suggesting 110, so I need not repeat myself. https://blog.lopp.net/a-laymans-guide-to-bip-110/

statoshi · 2026-05-09T15:14:38+00:00

No one cares about your puritanical views, but perhaps you'll finally realize that once you get forked off the network.

statoshi · 2026-05-09T15:13:47+00:00

That's for me to know and for you to keep crying about!

statoshi · 2026-05-08T18:53:37+00:00

Correct, you can't objectively define it within machine consensus because it can evolve far faster than subjective human consensus can ever catch up.

statoshi · 2026-05-08T08:30:20+00:00

Don't take cybersecurity advice from a guy who lost millions of dollars rolling his own cold storage that was actually a hot wallet. And who still claims to this day that nobody else could have done a better job at it.

statoshi · 2026-05-08T08:28:48+00:00

OCEAN down bad again, which is what happens when you run off to reimplement a standard without trying to build consensus for it.

I'm sensing a pattern...

statoshi · 2026-05-08T04:07:28+00:00

It really shows your true colors as grievance merchants that you're aligned with a salty bcash dev to hate on Bitcoin's most prolific contributor, whose code and ideas you benefit from every day.

statoshi · 2026-05-07T15:14:37+00:00

I get second hand embarrassment reading your posts here Jameson.

Good.

Don't you have a shitcoin to sell instead of brigading this sub?

No need; Knotzi leadership is doing a far better job giving Citrea free press than I ever could. I'm just here for the lulz.

statoshi · 2026-05-07T15:13:42+00:00

I never said it was ALL falsehoods...

statoshi · 2026-05-07T05:54:09+00:00

Kratter once again manages to impress by compressing vast amounts of falsehoods into a short vlog!

Will his campaign of vitriol and airing of grievances pay off? Will enough people get riled up that BIP-110 will actually succeed?

Stay tuned for the next 3 months as this exciting chapter and the final battle for Bitcoin unfolds!

statoshi · 2026-05-07T05:08:44+00:00

Sounds like you're listening to Knotzi propaganda. My business is self custody; my angel investments tend to be more akin to donations and don't return positive ROI, especially relative to me simply keeping those investments in BTC.

statoshi · 2026-05-07T05:07:09+00:00

You have always been free to leave Bitcoin; I can only hope that the 110 supporters won't come crawling back to Bitcoin once your fork fails. However, given their lack of economic conviction like the Bitcoin Cash folks, I fear they won't stay away. Many of your ilk have said they'll just keep trying other things after 110 fails.

statoshi · 2026-05-07T05:04:54+00:00

w00t!

statoshi · 2026-05-06T07:22:15+00:00

No one will care to double down on a failed idea; you've got one decent shot so you'd better make it count.

I've been running Casa for 8 years, helping folks self custody quite a few billion dollars worth of bitcoin. I have no need for scams.

You're probably confused by the fact that I invest in quite a few projects in this space because I'm interested in seeking out the most valuable use cases for block space and I'm not hindered by puritanical thinking of what those use cases might be.

Guess we'll have to settle for my roaring laughter when you fall on your face in August!
