Heavy weights like suchmoon, Lauda, achow101, The Pharmacist got removed from DT1. Tbh I don't expect to stay there for a very long time.
achow101 is a core developer (or contributor) as far as I know. Why did he get removed is beyond me. If he doesn't deserve to be a DT1 member, why the fuck do I?
Anyway I am happy to be included in DT1 but tbh I don't really care. Actually, I don't want to care.
Being a DT member gets you into drama. I don't want any of it.
achow helped me a few years ago, I sent a transaction for 15 bitcoin’s (or it might have been more, I can’t remember). The internet connection dropped & I thought I’d lost those coins. They weren’t showing on the block. Any way he showed me how to sendrawrawtransaction which rebroadcast the tx.
Thought I’d lost all that money, it wasn’t long from the last ATH. I was very pissed off for a while.
He helped me so I have nothing but good things to say about him.
