 CENTRALIZED PLATFORMS ARE SHITCOINS.

BITCOIN PROTOCOL DISCUSSION SHOULD HAPPEN ON NOSTR.

https://stacker.news/items/440692 
 this is kinda dangerous, is it not? It seems like a few devs a pushing changes to the core software without the wider public knowing about until the changes have been merged in 
 That's why nodes have the power to not upgrade. Exercise it. 
 I can't wait to finish school and start developing Bitcoin. I want to be the @ODELL of developers. No more bullshit. 
 Citadel dispatch panel time ?  
 DECENTRALIZATION IS: FREEDOM, FAIR, AND FUN,  
 FOSS > SHADOWY SUPER CODERS 
 Nostr opens the floodgates of transparency. 
 SUNLIGHT AS DISINFECTANT 
 This is so disappointing 😡 
 No more bullshit. It's time to run bad actors out of #Bitcoin. We can replace them with good developers.

Working on it.

 This is not good 
 This warrants an investigation. We rely on an open process. Bad actors must be held to account, without it becoming a witch hunt.  
 👀 
 Nostr seems the obvious choice for this. 
 Imagine having your wealth in a network and/or protocol. For some rogue developer(s) just to bork it. And I thought Bitcoin had no third party risk. 
 Coincido completamente 👏✨

 Is this blown out a bit?

Can't people that have similar interests meet and talk or create together? Once they submit the next release anyone can see all the changes to core  
 What do you use for running your node? I wanna move to knots but for now I don't think there's a good guide for it.  
 Bruh, nostr is centralized yet 
 It's not about what is more centralised or not, it's about what presents the most favourable conditions to achieve strong decentralisation.

Nostr presents a a much more favourable environment and and stronger incentives to achieve a much higher degree of decentralisation than StackerNews. 

One is built for it. The other isn't.

 NO SHIT

HOW FUCKING ODD THIS WOULD MOT BE A CONSENSUS STATEMENT 
 allcaps has always been homoerotic... 
 😂 
 shine the light/ transparency! 
 This is what makes me paranoid of the covenants talk. It is made to seem that talk has arisen naturally, when it could easily have been schemed behind close doors.

John Carvalho is right when it comes to how cautious we should be in changing bitcoin, and not running the latest version of core until absolute certain 
 agree 
 Expose it big time! Corruption can’t survive bright light 
 Totally agree we need Nostr or something else more public and verifiable for these discussions. If I want to be charitable I think a lot of this stems from honest misunderstandings and garbled posts being misinterpreted. Chaincode should publicly confirm if they sent the author a cease and desist letter, and the author should clarify and disavow that they threatened or ever intend to threaten anyone in Bitcoin dev with a lawsuit. 
 We should also keep in context some private conversations are a sad but logical consequence of the CSW lawsuits. We should still push for open discussions but I just ask we acknowledge that devs are afraid of being sued for fair reasons and until the COPA case is done I don’t blame them. 
 Bring the discussion to the decentralized house 
 Stay humble, stack zaps  
 not all of it, for what should be obvious reasons 
 💯 
 I agree 
 What do you think of it? I'm not a dev so I can't say much about it but I'd say that is concerning don't you think? Devs working behind our backs 
 The poster sounds like CWS, do his technical/security comments on the PR checkout? 
 I agree with you completely.

 absolutely, why this isnt happening is beyond me. 
 RUN KNOTS
BITCOIN CORE IS COMPROMISED
