I think Bitcoin Core should simply close the repo.
Then fork it, start a new implementation called "Bitcoin Potato," and all the contributors just move over there.
Now, they'd no longer need to worry about the tacit prestige and authority that comes with being a Core dev and maintaining a software package that descends from Satoshi's original implementation. Just build what they want, no strings attached.
I hope this isn’t our fate if SN becomes popular
You mean SN isn't popular... now??? :D
Hardly lol it got like 100 users
we're like a midsized subreddit lol
Midsized... I'm not even sure that SN is that big.
It took 15 years for Bitcoin to become a Store of Value (albeit a volatile one).
IMO it takes another 15 years to become a widespread medium of exchange SN is just the first evidence of that, using the Lightning Network.
Yeah I agree SN is a baby
Yea but now I’m here and I’m gonna fix it
With my abs
money is the moderator
I think that even if we end up with multiple popular implementations, being a maintainer of a popular one will be a horrendous job. It's kind of like being a mod for a popular subreddit or running a social media platform: you can never please everybody, and somebody will always react badly.
