[2019-05-19] Inflation Bug Still a Danger To Bitcoin

[CryptoBry]

Figures published by bitcoin core developer Luke Dashjr show that more than half of the full nodes in the bitcoin network are still running client software vulnerable to the inflation bug discovered in September 2018.

This revelation poses some danger to the network, as software vulnerabilities are a clear and present danger to the fidelity of bitcoin (BTC). Now that the top-ranked cryptocurrency is in the midst of a positive price run, it is perhaps important that steps are taken to eradicate the inflation bug problem for good.

Upon discovery, developers again released a new version of software before announcing it to the wider cryptocurrency community. However, several months after the issue ought to have been solved, it appears that more than half the full nodes on the network are still running client implementations vulnerable to the bug.

One of the many good features of bitcoin is that inability for double-spend and any bug that can break through this wall it can indeed be very dangerous for bitcoin. Thankfully, they found the fix to the problem and let's hope that all miners will soon adopt the solution to this malady. What's stake here is the very name or reputation of bitcoin so this is a serious matter that we the cryptocurrency community should be concerned.

Some reports do tell that some of members do post out 200+ weekly.Imagine that and they are indeed very irritating.Just take a look on newly created threads they do most likely spam out there.

About the topic it is really nonsense. Double spend issue? Total BS.
