Been following this Bitcoin Core vs. Knots stuff…
Core is what most nodes run which is solid, but slow to respond to junk like NFTs clogging up the chain.
Knots is a version with filters. Blocks stuff like JPGs and ordinals. Maintained by one dev (Luke Dashjr).
The fight?
Core lets anything through if it pays. Knots says nah, that’s spam, even if it pays.
Some call it censorship. Others say it’s saving the network.
At the end of the day:
Core = open roads
Knots = cleaner roads
It’s about how you see Bitcoin.
Freedom or filters?
Your node, your rules.
