How on earth could that kid walk and talk without forgetting to breathe. I assume he's writing a fucking book. Sorry. 'Writing' a fucking 'book'

Apparently it was a fuckup when they rewrote the codebase so they could move it from GPL to source-available.

This is currently an utter, utter disaster scenario over in bitcoinland, the coiners are screaming. lol.
