And no sign of core changing their behaviour on this?

Thanks for the sum up. I still run core v28.0 at the moment, did't touch or update, wanted to wait for the dust to settle a bit. Its difficult to find out what exactly is going on 🫠From my understanding, increasing the opreturn limit isnt such a bad thing, since nodes can just ignore that data, so its more of a political thing of core being assholes then a technical issue...right?

I think you are right, the main issue I see is that we don't really have a mature well maintained alternative bitcoin implementation. Knots is just a fork of core, maintained by basically one guy (also with ego issues imo), so its not a long term solution, unless it attracts more developers. I will probably also start running knots, just to signal the disagreement, but then what, lets say core "apologizes", we all switch back to core and wait for the next dispute again. I really like libbitcoin, since its a total rewrite and an actual alternative, but its still not a full user friendly implementation... so yeah, idk to be honest 😅

Can you elaborate more on why its a twisted view and how does the age contribute here, if its mostly following core... I didn't come across it before the opreturn debate, but just as a newcomer to the github repo it looks like there arent any contributers (see righthand side, under the release), not sure why this is hidden on the repo - its usually visible in repos with more contributers. Im not trtying to shit on this, just trying to get more opinions... I think its great that knots exists and that there is an alternative, I just cant be convinced at the moment that this is some final solution. Its good to have conversations about this imo...

I set up a new umbrel with knots, syncing nicely. But on another umbrel that already had core, it doesn't look like its a drop in replacement, as a test I tried to run knots in parallel, but it started syncing from 0, so I guess umbrel assignes a different datadir. I have to test this a bit more, but it looks like if I uninstall the Bitcoin (core) app it will also delete the blockchain and knots will then just start syncing from scratch...
