The questions knots raised were / are 100% valid questions.

Seems the wider community just didn't care.

BIP110 was a wrong solution to a valid problem. This has been stated by many great minds in bitcoin.

The problem was it was also the *only* solution.

That puts real plebs in a difficult situation and creating the choice of "bad" or "worse".

I think core is "worse", but enough people didn't agree.

I think bip110 enforced the way it was, was horrible, but for me personally, I'd rather do that and win the rest of the community over than do nothing at all.

Samson Mow said on The bitcoin podcast, paraphrasing "core made the change, i didnt agree with it and gave them shit for it, but its done, they already did it, its over, so I moved on and stopped talking about it"

That doesnt sit well with me, to just say "ok, ill continue running your code"

And thats the feeling and attitude that pushed me to want something else.

I personally feel that "something else" was just running knots instead.

Clearly the BIP110 part of things was not the right call.

I think we as bitcoiners just need to be and do better.
