This is consensus, although many clients use libtorrent as an implementation, there are also many that use their own implementation compatible with the bittorrent protocol. View quoted note →

You are 100% right. I hate to repeat myself, but no bitcoin no tech no nothing will save lazy and retarded people (99.99% of humanity) from being enslaved and abused all the time. I did not say nobody though. And that somebody is a good and smart king, necessarily a male. I don't even have to give examples because I can list all such known kings: Ashoka, Ayutthaya dynasty, King Taksin, Chakri dynasty, and Trump if he finds a way to rule for another 40 years at least. That is it. Everything and everyone else were either outright evil, failures, or not born with karma strong enough. Well, there might have been some small tribes here and there, but I am also such a tribe, but history won't remember me, just like them, because of size.

No harm in trying

I always stay a couple of versions behind to be safe

It's crazy to me libbitcoin doesn't receive more attention
