[TypoTonic]

Here is brief update regarding the challenge, as no updates have been posted since the 14th. Maybe TypoTonic and NotATether could not update because they were busy so, gave a mini update (Run A Bitcoin Node). Please check the updates to see if they are correct or not, Thanks.

If you really want to volunteer, I think it's best if you reach out to NotATether. I'm sure he'll appreciate all the help that he can get, but IMO you should finish participating in the challenge first. Just let me handle the reports for now.

I want use this opportunity to tender a formal apology to NotATether and the community for my gross misconduct, I admit to previously altering my node output which I shouldn’t have, and I acknowledge my mistake and take full responsibility for it. But I promise to be of good conduct moving forward and never to indulge in such behavior ever again, and I will start syncing my node from the beginning just to make up for my errors and to ensure everything is genuine and verifiable.

I was informed about this. I won't be including you in the updates, but I'll keep tabs on your progress. Hopefully you've learned your lesson. Good luck!

Thank you for replying and posting the update. You can continue to perform the volunteer's responsibilities yourself. Actually, the update was not being posted, so posted the update and tried to know from you. You can continue to handle the responsibilities yourself but if you are busy, I will try to help a little at that time.
