It’s a big problem. This Core attack vector cast a doubt about whether Bitcoin is really strong enough to take on being the money for the world. For me, for the first time. Not just perception. But demonstrated. And you better believe the SEC, the government, Blackrock etc know that the weakest link of Bitcoin are the maintainers, Core Devs. Scary times.

The ever increasing Knots node count, and decreasing core node count, is a reason to be hopeful. This is bitcoin's immune system in action. Bitcoin has survived other civil wars and it will survive this.

Agree. That’s the hope. But hope is not a good strategy, when there’s so much at stake. I’m running Knots, of course. But all I’ve done then is to move my node code from an upgrade path depended on a small group of corrupted devs and influencers that have already stabbed us in the back to depending on a single developer that hasn’t yet. All awhile the Bitcoin community is now divided and confused….thats a pretty thin safety net.
