Don't want to complain or offend but I think you need to be more careful and responsible. It looks like you don't even test your code properly and don't check your builds. It's a currency after all, not a homework.

It is kind of humorous to me that you would be the one to post this, in particular. I actually had good, solid, tested, correct builds set for fork at 196000. Then someone (YOU!) came in at the last minute freaking out about the fork point being way too soon, saying it should be at least block 200000. I rushed together a new build with the fork point at 198000, but in my haste (and being over ~48 hours without real sleep) I made a simple mistake and rebuilt with the wrong directory linked in Gitian inputs. If even just one other person was making gitian builds and checking hashes against mine, we would've caught this immediately. I've asked many times for someone to step up, and no-one has.

If you think I need to be more careful, don't push me for last minute changes.

If you think the project has a lack of responsibility, bring some to it yourself. Commit to contributing to Gitian build verification, and take first hand responsibility for cross-verifying my builds.

If you think my testing process is insufficient, fire up a test-net in TESTMODE and do some testing.

If you think my builds go too unchecked, CHECK THEM YOURSELF BEFORE THE PROBLEMS ARISE.

It is an open source community project, after all. I am not your employee, I am just a volunteer. You can too, ask me how!

Pitch in.
