shitcoining yeah...
Really? The homepage bills it as the ‘Your Ultimate Bitcoin Toolkit’. That would be quite the shift!

We have no plans for "shitcoins" and will never include any blockchain than Bitcoin in any of our products.
We do have interest in giving users ways to express credit use cases, like gift cards, and, gasp, stablecoins, but our interest is to show that you do not need shitcoins to do this, and that better credit systems can be used instead.
There is Bitcoin, and everything else is credit. This is a fact. We simply believe credit will always be part of a productive economy and want to show the best ways to express it, including Web-of-Trust systems that may empower people to make better, more relevant, choices on whom to trust when they do trust.

They literally want Tether, stablecoins, tokens and other shit inside...
Bitkit is just the way to catch users and then fool them into shitcoining.
What do you expect from a Bitfinex division company?
Or are you in Bitcoinlandia from 2020 and don't know what Bitfinex did in the past?
I was a bit excited (sincerely) to see a LDK node on mobile and wanted to try it out... but then seeing this shit, now I know what is their plan.

FWIW, having seen how Carvalho conducts himself in the social space over the years, I’m not a fan and have completely ignored his project until you posted this.
But that said, if you hold a similarly low opinion, why in the heck did you get involved with testing and reporting issues?
reply
why you get involved with testing and reporting issues?
Did you read my substack full of Bitcoin / LN guides?
For the last 10+ years I was in Bitcoin, all days I was testing and learning about Bitcoin. Then I start writing guides for more people, I have to give them all my accumulated knowledge, otherwise we will not have adoption.
I think I tested all Bitcoin apps all these 10+ years. Nodes, wallets, solutions for merchants... I onboarded a lot of people during these years. I know what am I talking about.
This is not to shitpost on Bitkit! Is to call out bad behavior in Bitcoin space and scammers / shitcoiners!
reply
Fair enough, and kudos for your work there. But if this project is being run by someone that you consider to be a bad actor, don’t support it by filing bugs.
reply
don’t support it by filing bugs.
Indeed I am doing that. I was starting from the premise that Bitkit was a good actor and really wanted to help the devs, like I did with many others, reporting issues on github, testing out releases, writing documentation, talking with devs and helping them. I wrote several documentation for many Bitcoin apps.
