題目: Re: [Libbitcoin] Obelisk changes: manually add outgoing nodes (grazcoin request)
Yep, we see that it's preaching to the choir even :) These issues aren't
discussed widely. The wider community is still catching up to new things
from >1-2 years ago.

It's nice though. People want bitcoind for its correctness together with
Obelisk for its features. Correctness will improve over time as Bitcoin
grows.

If anyone wants to participate or add to the Wiki then do jump in and
start organising / making pages.

I didn't participate in that Reddit btw, it was our designer.
