I think what the parent comment is trying to say is: who cares about this? Not even many of us technical people care.
It's like saying, "Just get the mobile app, it just synchroaligns the ledger manifest distributable intra-block metadata! Duh! Simple!"
It's not accessible to people, and not even engineers who aren't familiar with the tech.
I don't need to understand the minting process to know how to use a dollar, but for some reason the Bitcoin community expects you to understand blocks, difficulty, ledgers, exchanges, and many other concepts that are relatively advanced and take time and effort to understand. A dollar is a dollar.
This continually seems to fall on deaf ears.
- keymone 8y agothis is just weird.. i was addressing GP's concern about performance of syncing. of course i wouldn't bother explaining how bitcoin works and what are the modes of operation and performance differences between them to a lay person. they don't care. they care that it's just an app. so what exactly did you want to say?
