The COIN BASED gang (⁠Thomas Pacchia⁠, ⁠Drew Armstrong⁠, and ⁠ArbedOut⁠) sits down with Bitcoin Core dev ⁠Antoine Poinsot⁠ for a tavern chat and open Q&A about: - The real reason why the OP_RETURN change broke people’s brains - The growing rift between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots—is Knots the “censorship-resistance” client now? - Whether or not Bitcoin Core contributors wield soft power through default settings - Yes, mempool rules are political - What Antoine ACTUALLY believes about the risk of censorship... and why neutrality might be slipping away - Do we need more devs or just fewer gatekeepers? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ PubKey meetups are FREE and PUBLIC.
