I‘m sure every network protocol was still unreliable when it was being rolled out and got better over time.
@supertestnet‘s quote is one year old.
Just noticed the stealth edit on routing nodes too, that's derivative from Bosworth himself.
lol, "stealth edit", I edit my comments all the time to add more when I still have time. Bad UX though, I agree.
It wasn't just being rolled out, it had been in implementations for years, was clearly mature enough in their view to be made an official BOLT at that time.
The simple fact is its a stupid design, I pointed that out for years because of it's Tor nature.
So it clearly wasn't BS, it's been consistent messaging that's 100% true, you just didn't like it because you assumed the the dummies that pushed for it were competent and/or not gaslighting assholes.

Yes I admit I trust the dummies more than you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm just trying to say it does not help your cause to not meet people where they are

That's a function of your lack of discernment, particularly where my non-BS has been consistently right and theirs consistently wrong.
Ever wonder why those dummies don't step into the thunderdome here? Hint: Because their ideas are shit and indefensible.

I don't disagree

Maybe it's because they are busy fixing their stuff instead?

I put more hours into my suite in a week than they do in a month as I can't draw from a bottomless NGO salary, but still manage to find the tab... but true that I also don't have that sweet NGO influencer pipeline to do my shilling for me...

Where is that exactly?

I read this last year, shook my head, and ignored everything else you said, including CLINK as a whole.
but idk, maybe I'm just dumb and you don't need to care about people like me understanding where you're coming from
reply
Well, you ended up integrating CLINK anyway regardless of my tact, because it works better than all the things I've dunked on. Give yourself some credit for coming back to it after having dismissed it.
As a nod to the marketing angle, CLINK is just a re-brand of NIP-69, night and day difference in response to it... part of the logic with that is Bitcoin is full of hipsters always looking for the next "current thing" and new NIP's are not new.

You should wonder why I was the first one to integrate CLINK.
I don't care about people behind tech, I care about the tech. We want to support anything that can send or receive via BOLT11. So it was just a matter of time until I would look into CLINK again. So this is wrong:
because it works better than all the things I've dunked on.
That's also why I've added Spark. It can also send or receive via BOLT11. That's not an endorsement or anything.
For example, I think LNC is really bad.
