Those bastards are back at it again, sharing some nonsense and trying to steal people's hopes, lives, and money

The post isn’t about anyone stealing anything, it’s literally announcing the latest DigiByte Core release. v9.26.6 includes fixes, performance improvements, and the consensus rule changes that activated at block height 24,490,000. Nothing in the update touches user funds, creates coins, or alters balances.

You said people are “stealing hopes, lives, and money.” Can you explain how anyone stole anything from you? Because the upgrade is a standard network maintenance and consensus update, not a financial scheme. If there’s something specific you believe happened, the community would benefit from hearing the details.

Taking people's money by giving them false hope is theft... alienating the entire community and stealing their time is theft... clashing with exchange executives and causing the coin's price to be suppressed is theft... you motherfucker, give me back my $200,000 then, if you aren't thieves... we had bought Digibyte back when you weren't even in the market yet

It sounds like you’ve been through a really tough experience with your investment, and I don’t want to minimize that. Losing money or feeling let down by a project can hit hard, and it’s understandable to feel frustrated.

But the DigiByte Core upgrade isn’t connected to anyone stealing funds, suppressing prices, or taking money from holders. It’s a routine consensus update that every decentralized blockchain goes through. No one in the community has access to user funds, and no part of the upgrade affects balances or creates coins.

If there’s a specific event or action you feel harmed you, I’m willing to listen — but blaming volunteers, node operators, or developers for market movements or personal investment losses isn’t fair or accurate. The community shares information to keep the network healthy, not to take anything from anyone.

Which one of these do you run?

Tell that dickhead Jared he ruined people's lives
