Releasing a client with a name "Bitcoin Core 0.21.0-based Taproot Client 0.1" is a scammer trick. It's not Bitcoin Core.

I suppose if you can't convince people with reason, trick them with dishonesty.

@belcher I'm confused, what is the scam exactly?

@kekcoin A day after Speedy Trail was merged into Core, luke and some others release an alt-client with the deceptive name "Bitcoin Core 0.21.0-based Taproot Client 0.1" telling people "download this to activate taproot". It's not Bitcoin Core, and it's not taproot. If run could fork users away in a chain split, users are not warned about this, in fact the website has an FAQ "Is this a UASF? No". This stuff is the same kind of sleaze move as "Segwit2X" or "Bitcoin Classic"

@belcher @kekcoin You really are on a public relations drive aren't you @belcher? Lol. Luke has been consistent for months about what he intended to do and he perceives he has community consensus to do so. There was a public meeting to discuss this release on the Tuesday before Speedy Trial was merged into Core.

@belcher @kekcoin Unless you think you're refighting the 2017 block size war perhaps tone down the narrative spinning a touch and just make sure you are informing others correctly on the facts.
