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

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.


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!?


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.

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.

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.
