Screenshot of #Bitcoin Core Dev Antoine Poinsot’s reply to the open letter for CTV+CSFS.

This drama would be funny if everyone involved here wasn’t retarded and collectively holding Bitcoin back.

Harsha’s response to Antoine sums up the problem:

“Most people signed because they really had no idea what the next step ought to be, and the pressure for transaction commitments was so much so that a bad option (piling of a sign-on letter) was more optimal than inaction.”

Has any of the signers of the letter thought about selling noderunners on these changes and getting them on board to support them? No. They spent all their time and effort chatting with other devs and companies who want the functionality for their own reasons and take their agreement as “broad support” when no-one who runs a node is on board with the idea, so Core feels no pressure to look at this at all.

Those involved might be some of the best devs on earth, but they’re some of the biggest autists at the same time who have zero understanding of psychology, persuasion, politics, incentives, motives or anything else which matters to get stuff done.
