As much as it is challenging, it's not like working in a fucking coal mine.
It can be done. People, men in particular, can't expect to have it easy.

have you already forgotten that lukedashjr got his bitcoin wallet hacked? and are you completely oblivious to the fact that you are piling in on that guy for giving bitcoiners another option for a more configurable node?
no no, I'm an not "piling on that guy", quite the opposite I appreciate the fact that there are competing bitcoin implementations.
In my note I meant exactly what I shared
i meant the person you quoted btw. i'm getting pretty tired of that guy, he used to annoy me with his hipster nonsense but going into core defendoor mode was the last straw i don't need to read his trash anymore.
agreed, quite annoying
the saddest thing is knowing that malicious shadowy hands are behind the whole thing and they have been building up towards turning bitcoin into ethereum 3.0 for some time, once someone figured out how to stuff junk into segwit witness data.
totally disagree. I don't think there is an evil plan.
i find it strange dismissing evil existing because the whole point of bitcoin is to shut down fiat banking fraud.
evil is not always overt, stupidity is a form of evil as well, acting with misaligned intentions or erroneous assumptions not based on fact but based on ideology or personal motivations.
there absolutely is bad things being done, and bad motivations, and bitcoin has been scarred by these things, harming its utility and adoption in the process. shitcoiners are envious of bitcoin, they aren't satisfied with "improving" upon it with their own stuff that almost nobody uses, they need to inflict that harm onto everyone, for their egotistical validation reasons.
people have had their understanding of secret collusion to do harm to people poisoned by the mainstream media, which was long ago hijacked by both secret police organisations like the CIA and GCHQ and as well by plutocrats like the rothschild family, the clintons, soros, and the rest, it's just plain retarded to say that these people have good intentions when everything they have been caught doing is not even just mean and nasty but murderous.
for the 18 months leading up to may this year i was working for a company that was involved heavily in shitcoinery. i didn't find it pleasant but the amount of really bad takes and stupid ideas that i encountered, and blatantly false statements and marketing for shitcoins.
we have to defend bitcoin, it isn't going to just automatically stop malicious changes happening and it was never intended and is not helpful to pollute its database with garbage that reduces the number of users who can run replicas, and enabling bad actors to rob innocent people of their wealth.
i personally will probably be running knots on a little server box sitting next to the cable router that will be installed by next week, to throw my hat into the ring, and i will be looking carefully through the configurations to set them to my preference.
it is completely ridiculous to say that users should not have some control over servers that they are running. that's like saying you can't use a computer without running windows on it. uh. no. single point of attack. single defensive posture, means that attackers have an easier time. the more diverse bitcoin's mempool policy is, the better, in my opinion.
the mempool is the parliament of bitcoin. if you don't speak you can't complain about not being heard.
