But what really happened?  And why did it happen?

Unlike the real John Connor, apparently the one from twitter comes from 4 months in the past to bring us updates. Next he can tell us Trump is only running as a joke and could never win the republican primary.

There was a bug in the code that allowed a planned fork to activate early. The bug was noticed with a minority of the network having switched over to v2 blocks so we released a patch that fixed the bug and put everyone back on v1. Later, when scheduled, the fork went fine.

although this hasnt been confirmed, I believe John was saying that there are 13 zeroday bugs in monero.  First someone said it was 12, then after the 13th one was brought up (the one that had caused a revert to an earlier version) he said the number of zeroday bugs was 13...

zeroday exploits can be very difficult to find and although I am admittedly not an XMR fan or supporter, I hope he is wrong, and hopefully someone will come forward to show you them if they are right.

The one described as 13 was fixed four months ago, so its silly to call that a zero day (zero day minus 4 months?)

As for the rest, who knows. Impossible to respond to vague unsupported claims.

Can't wait for the other 12. John is an excellent programmer and cryptographer, I have no doubt that he found something.
