Oddbean new post about login | logout Are you sure it will go that way? Also aren't the principle ideas already bulletproof like it is the case with bitcoin? I'm talking about decentralized and censorship structure.
Bitcoin is protected by the nodes running Core. What if everyone running a node worked for the same employer? Would it still be bulletproof?
It's more a question about devs working on Bitcoin Core but at this point nodes are so decentralized that they will refuse to run software that is dangerous to the network. Hard Fork is always an option. I know it's not quite the same with Nostr though.
Nostr doesn't have a Core because it's an open protocol and not a blockchain. Bitcoin is a closed protocol and a blockchain. And there's no such thing as a hard fork on an open protocol because there is no Core to fork off of. It is an organic system held together through the value added by interoperability.
