It looks like Peter Todd maliciously published information about a bug/exploit that had just been fixed in BU.

read that article out loud to yourself. it's pure hysteria. anyone who was on the fence before would get straight off it after reading that.

Very possible. 

Now that BU is gaining serious momentum, Core is pulling out all the stops and resorting to dirty tricks.   They are terrified of losing control.

When Mike Hern rage-quit Bitcoin development a while ago, there was real momentum to raise the max block size, and get away from what the Blockstream core devs wanted -- the roundtable consensus agreement (or whatever it was called) was designed to pour cold water on that movement. However with it being very clear that blockstream and their core devs had no intentions of following through on their obligations to that agreement, the miners now do not trust the blockstream core devs anymore, and are moving to alternate implementations. It seems that blockstream is trying other tactics to pour cold water on this movement too.

With all due respect my dear your opinion on this sounds insane.

Another fatal bug is being discovered in a fatally flawed codebase and it is somehow the fault of the Bitcoin developers?

Seriously now? Who is "terrified" here now!?

Not "their fault" as BU developers are ultimately responsible for their code.  However, if you read the article it says that Ciphera (presumed to be Eric Lombrozo) has made clear their intentions to attack BU nodes.

1 - you are posting from a hacked account, correct?

2 - The allegation is the blockstream core devs were behind the malicious attacks against the BU nodes this afternoon. There is also no question that Peter Todd (a blockstream core dev) did not responsibly disclose the bug that he was made aware of in the BU code.

Hello jonald_fyookball 

BTU is trash and apparently Blockstream/Core Devs can't be trusted, time to toss them all aside and push for another solution.

Well it looks like to me that Core dev was spot on to identify a flaw in the code and makes it apparent for everyone to see and be aware of, if you see someone doing something wrong and stay silent you are a bad individual in general, if they couldn't find the exploit then they wouldn't have deserved to be trusted with the coding of the Core software.
It shows there is a dedicated and concise team behind bitcoin to navigate the engine in the road.

FUD. If that article was implying they did so then that is very irresponsible and biased journalism. They do not have proof of who really did it and second, why would the Core developers expose themselves in these sensitive times?

But I know one candidate who is capable of doing something like this. I am scared to mention his name but I will give you a hint. He could be also the same guy who hacked the DAO.

Well, maybe Ciphera is not really Eric Lombrozo? 

But his statements couldn't be more clear.

don't you think you're going a little far off the deep end with this? i don't get how anyone could treat this article as anything other than squealing.

if they have a point to make then make it in a dignified manner. if they believe core is out to 'get them' then be better people and rise above it.

Lol that was some ultra-FUD I just read right there. I can't take them seriously at all. This is really ... childish almost.

How am i 'going off the deep end'?

You sound like a real ass***, dont you get it; all youre coins went to $0 due of unskilled noob BU dev...This bug wasnt noticed for a whole year

This article has been written by a BU supporter, dont blame Core go ask questions at BU dev 

[jubalix]

Ok but who cares, why say malicious, bitcoin is free to be attacked at any time, it's not like anyone owns BTC, thats the whole point


the word malicious is here I posit misused. They simply have a different vision and saw a way to make their point, and in doing so exposed a bug more widely to the market.

That's all legit.

In fact everything when is legit.

I don't understand how people can say they get bitcoin then try to cry fowl.

This is not true. The bug was discovered and patched by BU devs first. Todd simply tweeted about it.

ok guys

if there was a bug on core (imagining shoe on other foot)
those blockstream lovers would hope that core got informed first. to fix the bug and release an update, once X% of nodes were running the fix to negate any exploiters, then publicly releasing the exploit

EG
2013 levelDB bug.
not explain what went wrong until days after the fix was released and everyone updated.

..
but when the shoe is on the other foot.. core/blockstream do not believe in diversity of nodes and decentralisation to protect the network by offering the same moral stance of offer fix first, then release exploit publicly.

it proves core devs are NOT "independent"

seems to me that its obvious that "attack and rekt anything not blockstream, protect anything that is blockstream" (centralist mindset) is the game here
