Alternative clients are a menace. Satoshi warned us of this — the fact we have such a schism with CLN/LND is unfortunate, and I have seen first hand compatibility issues and loss of funds scenarios with LN. Luckily implementation differences are usually peer to peer problematic, rather than network consensus level problematic — but with the base layer, there can be only one.
Development efforts should be concentrated on layer 2.

The developer of a “prominent” alt mainnet client recently started a pool and is accepting user hash to mine blocks based on its templates.

I wish nothing but the best for the “Tonal Bitcoin” altcoin when it eventually hits a consensus breaking bug and forks off the Bitcoin blockchain. Please patch for replay attacks!
