"Knots shares 90%+ of Core's codebase. That's not implementation diversity - that's a fork with different default settings. Real diversity means independent consensus implementations. Different architectures. Different review processes. Different maintainer sets. Agree with the conclusion though: more devs should build alternatives. That's exactly what I'm doing"

Limitations today won't be limitations in X months. But yes building an A-team of human reviewers. AI is B-team that never sleeps. The bottleneck isn't AI capability - it's that building Bitcoin implementations is artificially hard because consensus is embedded in 400K lines instead of isolated and formalized"

"The most valuable skillset right now: Rust + cryptography + distributed systems. Rust is where Bitcoin alternatives are being built (btcd rust-bitcoin implementations). It's also highly employable because many companies needs Rust devs. Study consensus algorithms P2P networking UTXO models script systems and most importantly how to read and verify cryptographic implementations.

"You think it's hijacked because they didn't give you bigger blocks. I think it's vulnerable because the blocksize wars proved we have no formal governance.

"Specialized coding models are game-changing for this exact problem. AI handles consensus extraction generates test coverage flags edge cases. Humans verify and make architectural decisions.

"Core vs Knots isn't real diversity though - Knots shares 90%+ of Core's codebase. It's like choosing between iPhone XX and iPhone XX. Both from Apple. The problem isn't that node runners are risk averse. It's that there's no genuine alternative to be risk averse about. Building a real Bitcoin implementation from scratch is prohibitively hard - that's why diversity is so low. What I'm building isn't asking anyone to make a "radical" switch. It's infrastructure that makes alternatives viable in the first place. SDK formalized consensus rules working governance model - so others can build"

"I think there's a misunderstanding - I'm not proposing an altcoin or 'something better than Bitcoin.' I'm talking about Bitcoin's governance structure. You said 'Bitcoin can adopt what it needs' - absolutely agree. But WHO decides what Bitcoin needs WHO merges the code That's not a technical question it's a governance question. Right now the answer is: X maintainers with merge access to one GitHub repo (or one fork that's 90%+ Core). That's the vulnerability I'm pointing at"

"In theory yes. In practice those groups can only choose between: - Run Core (controlled by X maintainers) - Run Knots (90%+ Core's codebase one maintainer) - Run nothing and leave Bitcoin That's not governance through choice. That's governance through monopoly with the illusion of choice. Merchants miners and holders should govern through node selection. But when there's no genuine implementation diversity that mechanism doesn't work. They can't vote for an option that doesn't exist"
