I am sorry if I come across that way.

However, some people are quite... confident in their views, both here on Stacker News and on the internet in general.

And confidence in the face of ignorance or lack of information is extremely dangerous. Not only in Bitcoin but with life in general. It gets people hurt, gets them rekt and does not help this space in my opinion.

The last reference I heard to 'mining faster' was in reference to Onecoin (a huge scam from years ago) and the only reason it could survive was that people were gullible. "Mine faster..." we need to "mine faster" those words stick with me because they were an outrageous scam perpetrated on folks who didn't know how mining worked.

I just assumed that the SN audience was a little more advanced... lightning is still a pretty high bar.
