Yeah we should definitely diversify so if one type of node is full of bugs and crashes all of a sudden the entire network doesn't go under.

Someone said that too many times. now picture bitcoin forked by BU and that happens literally people should trust millions and billions to such forks of Core?

Time when I believed BU was only a change of 2 lines of code which were only about increasing max block size after someone I considered viable said it to me has past.

Funny thing is that, they want you to privately tell them about any bug that you find so that they could go and fix it in their comfortable chairs in green and safe zone like the wolves out there in the world going to wake the watch dog up before they attack the herd lol.

This attacks comes just over a month after the last, so I wonder if bugs responsibly disclosed have not been fixed and are now public knowledge?
That is just the thing. Bitcoin software is being attacked every single day. Every type of hacker is looking for potential holes in the code (all ranging from white hackers to government paid 'master' level hackers). This is the primary reason for which Bitcoin software needs to be "top-notch" quality in terms of security. If BU developers spent less time trying to lobby miners in China, they could have avoided some of these.

It is really funny to see that the BU bug once again bit Roger Ver when he tweeted that bitcoin unlimited is production ready..
Roger Ver has zero credibility when it comes to technicalities. This reminds me of the time he said Mt. Gox was solvent, not long before everything went up in flames.

Comedy relief from social media:

In Soviet Russia, BU sticks fork in Bitcoin.

Then you have people showing signs of delusion:

I'm more worried about other sorts of exploits in code of this quality...
I wonder if there will be a closed or open source update for this one?

Okay you win on the direct title thread, but I prefer my ironic one Popularity of XT/Classic nodes rise in proportion to BU nodes.

This attacks comes just over a month after the last, so I wonder if bugs responsibly disclosed have not been fixed and are now public knowledge?

Or perhaps everybody gets afraid when I decide to fire up my 2 GH/s USB miner against BU.  Tongue
