I read it and Lopp does get overly personal... He also brought up some valid criticisms, however, and the main takeaway is that Knots is overly reliant on a single person.
Yes, he absolutely raises some good points but he went way too far with the personal stuff that it sounds more like a desperate attempt at getting people back to Core. It could have focused on the security issues of the past and the weakness of relying on a single person. If Core can be compromised by a government, compromising Knots is trivial. This is just one example of a downside.
As a Knots supporter, I'm just curious: do you think enough people would use a Knots fork coin to make it valuable, or is that off the table in terms of negotiations with Core? I'm trying to get an assessment of what Knots users think about this subject.
I'm not the right person to ask this!
(For the reference, I have never run anything other than Bitcoin Core as my node - yet).
It may seem that way because contrary to my approach to shitposters here I value real Bitcoin users, especially node operators. I try to see the perspective from their side and argue in their favor. In regards to a potential fork, I hope that it does not happen under any case. I really hated the Bitcoin forks scam, and most altcoins that exists today are a scam for me too.
