What are some possible scenarios of how the core dev team could intentionally or unintentionally compromise Bitcoin?
Just curious to know possible scenarios where the core dev team would be able to compromise the integrity of Bitcoin.
It's not that I don't trust the team, I do. I just want to learn more about Bitcoin's potential vulnerabilities.
the problem is that most of the bitcoin world relies on the Bitcoin core C code(including MOST clients).
If they introduce default behaviors, then it becomes a standard. We saw this pan out with the COIN_DUST issue.
The code base is not easy to modify, perhaps intentionally so.
