The Roughnecks were just a band of plebs doing what they believed in.
They didn't start a company; they didn't ask permission; they just organised themselves and risked their own bitcoins to try and stand against a wall of centralised hash power.
They mined the first 2 BIP 110 post-activation blocks and then got smoked by the giant conglomerates.
Make a note of anyone taking victory laps about that.
I'll always remember these blocks.
Thank you, Roughnecks; it was fun to watch!
