Re: [Lightning-dev] A new Bitcoin implementation integrated with Core Lightning

Hi Michael,While I don’t think forks of Core with an intent to drive consensus rule changes (or lack thereof) benefits the bitcoin system as the Bitcoin Core project stands today, if you want to build a nice full node wallet with lightning based on a fork of Core, there was code written to do this

I'm not familiar with libbitcoinkernel, but sounds similar to what I wanted libconsensus to do (different from what matt corallo wanted). What would be the differences? Regarding node policy, I also wanted to make it polymorphic and let the user chose RBF or the default of the time. I can't rememb

Hi Michael, CLN as implemented is currently nicely decoupled from the block source; as a project we assume that the node runner will choose a block backend that fits their self-sovereignty goals. This provides us with a nice separation of concerns. The block source is responsible for ensuring tha

Any thoughts on this from the Core Lightning contributors? The way I see it with upcoming proposed changes to default policy (primarily though not exclusively for Lightning) and a soft fork activation attempt of APO/APOAS (primarily though not exclusively for Lightning) that a tighter coupling

I saw it was announced, yes. The author is brilliant, he has now managed two alternative implementations of Core in two different languages :) The problem though and why I and many others think the Knots style fork of Core is the better option is because you avoid reimplementing consensus code i

I tweeted this [0] back in November 2022. "With the btcd bugs and the analysis paralysis on a RBF policy option in Core increasingly thinking @BitcoinKnots and consensus compatible forks of Core are the future. Gonna chalk that one up to another thing @LukeDashjr was right about all along." A
