My brother, Ive had days where I felt like this myself. The LN can be a harsh and frustrating mistress.
I try to keep in mind that a good chunk of the performance problems encountered are actually the terrible ToR links and behavior. Some are *still* client and protocol incompatibilities between nodes. Also poorly maintained channels that are completely saturated in one direction (yet advertise great rates!). Not to mention the likelihood of bad actors that attempt to gatekeep/throttle/selectively timeout comms, etc.
It's wild out there, but don't give up! Find good plebs and open channels to them!!!
No. Liquid is a shitcoin.
Rippleshit is the absolute antithesis of everything Bitcoin and the blockchain was created to solve.
On top of that, the e-corp entity headed by Bread Garlichouse actively spends enormous funds to *attack* Bitcoin.
Take your EVIL. GARBAGE. BULLSHIT. and shove it up your ass fucking sideways and on fire as far as you goddamn can, and then halt it.
I swear to God, I'll fucking assassinate all the Rippletards if that plays out.
The controller software is a maintenance bomb. Lemme guess... Grotesque Mongodb bloat?
I'm gonna go buy this book now. I'll read it after I finish Creature from Jeckyl Island.
Why has Amethyst shit the bed? It's now suuuuppper chunky, even after a force stop and reload.
I came here to ask the same. Im already running my own, and would like to be a good admin, if such a thing is required.
