Today's guest is @lukedewolf, who joins me to discuss the Knots vs. Core debate and the recent appearance of BIP 444.

Key Topics:

• Bitcoin

• Knots

• Core

• Bitcoin Improvement Proposals (BIPs)

• BIP444

• Decentralization

• Critical Infrastructure

• Cybersecurity

• Mining

• 'Spam' Transactions

Luke explains his background in industrial control systems cybersecurity and draws parallels to Bitcoin as critical infrastructure. He emphasises the need for layered defences to protect against various threats and that filters, even basic ones, can effectively block a significant percentage of attacks.
