I've run Knots since forever and will continue for a while. I usually lag a few versions and sometimes only upgrade just before a version "expires" (which Knots does, unless you opt-out), to the consecutive one.
While confused/disappointed by the psy-op (or whatever it is) run by Luke, I don't take it at face value. Thus it doesn't really influence my choice of what node implementation to run - yet. Maybe it will, when push comes to shove.
i was running knots to use DATUM with my miners, but the latest insanity made me dump the whole stack...the knots boosters have lost it. i dont have answers to tough questions but i aint buying their low IQ emotional appeals to authority.
