75 guides in English + most of them translated in Spanish. Some were outdated and I delete them.
I think this was the last one, testing intensively day after day. Not sure if I would write anymore Bitcoin guides. I am getting tired testing all days and trying to find the best scenarios for my guides.
Few people know that all my guides were done based on what other people are looking for, I was reading all comments on chats, nostr, SN etc just to see what problems they have and think about to reproduce their situation and find a solution. All days continuously.
All these years testing and onboarding new people. I think is time for me to retire. Anyways I have a lot of work to do on my citadel and I think this week I will start working again on it.
You always have interesting guides. I read them, but sometimes they dont apply to me. Its not a big deal, but I do appreciate all the effort you put in. I especially enjoy the odd ball comments once in a while, brings a smile to my face! And you usually are right about the present state, and your predictions. Maybe you should change your name to DarthYoda haha

Thanks for you guides.
Why don't you want to write any more?

Why? For many reasons:
  1. Bitcoin is the plan B for me. My plan A is my citadel that is waiting to be finished, hopefully this summer. I mostly do more testing during the winter time, when I cannot work on my citadel.
  2. Few people read my guides. Many find them a bit advanced, even that I try to lower the barrier and the technical terms as much as I can, but some parts are almost impossible to explain them in layman terms, because Bitcoin it is what it is and is needed a bit of effort from the user to understand these new terms.
Some of users do not want to pay attention to my guides, find them boring. Is their loss not mine. If more people will read my guides they will see that their life in Bitcoin will be much easier and will know more things about Bitcoin.
I tried with my guides to be like a bridge between the super technical documentation that comes from apps developers and simple steps explanations for regular users that don't have to know all the technicalities behind these apps.
All these scenarios I wrote in my guides are days and years of intensive testing, all kind of apps, wallets, merchant solutions, nodes etc. On one side I did all this to help developers to improve their apps and have some kind of user documentation for them. I was always in contact with devs and their users, just to see what is necessary to be tested.
So I am getting tired of all this, sometimes I feel that I talk to a wall. But I hope my guides will remain in history and people will use them if do not became obsolete.
  1. Yes, some people hate me, because I like to say the truth in their face, when I find something that is not right. People nowadays get offended very easily, idk why are so sensible. I don't care anymore.
  2. Some people think I talk too much on SN. Maybe, but all I am saying is to help those that cannot see the right path not even in front of their eyes. No problem I will let them with the shitcoiners, spammers and assmilkers, to see how is it without "Darth presence".
I am not retiring from Bitcoin, but just from writing guides and busting shitcoiners ass. I will just mind my own business and keep my knowledge for myself.

I hope you return next winter with renovated efforts and update your guides. You are very much needed in the bitcoin network. There are people who need to do more than installing WoS but do not have enough knowledge to go full technical, but just in the middle, and your guides are beautiful for that.
If idiots don't appreciate this, just fuck them. Do it for the people that care. I'm sure you have helped thousands of anonymous people over the years. We should not lose you.
