Don't use Bitcoin knots in place of Bitcoin Core

Bitcoin knots is not an alternative of bitcoin-core its basically bitcoin core with bunch of non-sense filters that doesn't makes sense. If you want to use alternative of Bitcoin Core then use libbitcoin, utreexod, btcd, bitcoinj. These are actually maintained by some of good devs but bitcoin knots is basically developed by 1 dev with no active reviewers. Now the comments will be filled by some knotzis with memes of defending bitcoin knots, instead what you can do is write some tests for so called filters invented, I mean literally there not a single functional or unit tests for filters. If I would be in their side I would have supported luke(one and only maintainer of knots) with reviewing code and writing some functional tests which is comparatively easy to implement!! submitted by /u/Dry-Entry5201 [link] [comments]
