he's acting retarded, because Knots fork attack was never about stopping spam to begin with, let alone solving the issue of illegal content (CSAM) - neither knots nor core actually help with that. Luke is saving bicoin by threatening to destroy it.

"a private Knots fork with utreexo -- batteries included, fully regression tested, and from the rumors I have heard massively more performant tuned than libfloresta, whatever Tadge Dryja originally produced, and the various other test clients like mit-dci/utreexo which I guess was in go. It's possible Luke has been working on this since he had the lightbulb about making segwit a softfork"

I don't think mechanic believes the fork exists, either that or that he is being used. Kratter probably knows and is playing along.

Szabo / Samson Mao, hard to say. Probably some PR angle for Jan3. But I would assume almost everybody on the inside knows by now.
