Knots DDoS Attacks

  • PortlandHodl all but admits to engineering ways to DDoS Knots home nodes
    • Endless triggering of IBD
    • Classic BTC civil war
    • General outrage and pushback from Knots people & observers
  • Mechanic has previously admitted to small blockers spinning up mass “fake” nodes during 2017
  • All of this sounds familiar to Bitcoin Cashers for some reason…

Knots Progress

  • Knots getting $100k of funding
  • Knots at 18%+ of nodes
  • Ocean 1.2% - 12 EHs
  • Knots has independent developers starting to appear to assist Luke Jr
  • Impressive progress to being competitive with BTC Core as the reference implementation
  • HOWEVER, no progress on Bitcoin v30 merges to roll out in October
    • No progress on consensus copes

Pity vs Progress

https://x.com/barackomaba/status/1961110066368549003

  • Is Bitcoin about fiat gains, or about a revolution?
  • What is the revolution aimed at?
  • How much is it worth compromising on values?
  • Is there anything wrong with a successful ideology producing benefits for adherents, even if the ends is potentially problematic?
  • How much did BCH sacrifice for its mission? Can Knots compete?

Missing Information

  • 40:40 - 42:00 min
  • Mechanic / other Knots runners somehow still believe:
    • Big blockers have “no plan” for running nodes
    • IBD is an exponential, unsolvable problem
    • Pruned nodes can’t seed IBD
  • Need to understand UTXO Commitments & Pruning
  • Also “Bcashers never discuss tradeoffs”, completely fake
  • Node running driven by psychology, not engineering

That's called obsession

It's something that you live

The only single thing that matters

After your wife and your kids

​

Cos if you can't learn to float

Then you sink or you swim
