yeah, this has been a hard lesson and now every time i hear someone say "use bitcoin core" i instantly don't trust them and will turn right off and change the channel and put them on mute maybe even
i'm gonna ruffle some feathers over this, i'm not going to stop talking about this for a while
bitcoin core wallet does not let you make a backup of your wallet seed on paper, in any way, shape or form
-nowallet Yep, I refuse to use bitcoin-core as a wallet. I like having a verified copy of the chain locally though, and obviously it's needed for lightning if you don't want to connect to public nodes.
yeah, its wallet code is a tire fire, i had no idea how bad until i got into a panic thinking i had lost my keys because it used to be a thing that you lost your coins if you lost your latest wallet
of course i didn't stay up to date because in 2019 i was earning zero money and writing code for my supper and i didn't have any FUCKING MONEY to actually have any bitcoin
did i mention i had no money? yes, and i'm a programmer, and i was working in an internship capacity, to master building this blockchain stuff, and i became a PoW coin maxi and a few years later became a bitcoin maxi because i realised the ourouboros problem of staking and then the whole shitcoin scene went to rust and i tried to learn rust and it was the most unpleasant 6 weeks of my life, while at the same time i was perfectly qualified to TEACH how to build golang stuff
im toxic about this stuff because this stuff is toxic and manipulative
