It was your fault to get scammed and partially because you didn't read more documentation and guides like I wrote for several years. Your focus was to "make money with the node" not to learn how to run it properly.

In 4 years running a node you will learn how NOT to be scammed, but you still ignored and continue doing mistakes. Only weak get scammed. And Bitcoin is not for the weak... only for the brave.

I have no empathy for stupid people.
