I know the Orange pill app helps locate bitcoiners in your area but it’s a subscription social media app. 🙄
Repairing your smartphone allows for more sat stacking.

I’m inside a Samsung phone right now. Accepting Bitcoin for phone repairs.

I saw some FUD on X so I ask Grok.
“Based on the information available up to August 26, 2024, there isn't conclusive evidence directly stating that **Bitcoin Core** itself is compromised in terms of its codebase or security protocols being inherently flawed or maliciously altered. However, there are several points of concern and incidents that have been discussed in relation to Bitcoin Core and its ecosystem:
1. **Security and Vulnerabilities**: There have been discussions and incidents suggesting vulnerabilities or exploits within Bitcoin Core or related technologies:
- **Luke Dashjr's Incident**: A notable case involved Luke Dashjr, a Bitcoin Core developer, who reported losing a significant amount of Bitcoin due to a compromised PGP key, not directly a flaw in Bitcoin Core but in the security practices around it.
- **Bitcoin Core Bugs**: There was mention of bugs introduced in Bitcoin Core v0.21.1 that were reportedly exploited, but these bugs were not described as compromising the core functionality in terms of altering the protocol maliciously. Instead, they might relate to how transactions or data are handled, potentially exploited for spam or other non-consensus-breaking activities.
2. **Community and Developer Sentiment**:
- There's a sentiment among some developers and users about governance and control over Bitcoin Core's development, suggesting centralization in decision-making which could indirectly affect security if not managed transparently or inclusively.
- Discussions around features like Ordinals and Inscriptions have sparked debates on whether these are exploiting the system or are legitimate uses, indicating a divide in how the community views certain functionalities or vulnerabilities.
3. **Operational Security**:
- The mention of a significant number of Bitcoin nodes going offline, particularly those accessible via Tor, points towards operational or network layer issues rather than a compromise in Bitcoin Core's core functionality.
4. **Misinformation and Clarifications**:
- Some posts clarify misunderstandings, like the case where a wallet compromise was mistaken for a broader security issue with Bitcoin Core or related infrastructure.
Given this context:
- **Direct Compromise**: There's no definitive, widely accepted evidence or statement from the core development team or community leaders directly stating Bitcoin Core's codebase or its fundamental security model is compromised in a way that would alter the consensus rules or security of the Bitcoin network maliciously.
- **Indirect Concerns**: However, the incidents and discussions highlight ongoing challenges and potential weaknesses in adjacent systems (like key management, operational security, or governance models) which, while not compromising Bitcoin Core directly, can affect user security and trust in the ecosystem.
- **User Security**: Users are reminded of the importance of personal security practices, like securing private keys and understanding the software they use, rather than an inherent flaw in Bitcoin Core itself.
In summary, while there are concerns, vulnerabilities, and incidents around Bitcoin Core and its ecosystem, as of the last update, Bitcoin Core itself isn't universally declared as "compromised" in the sense of its core security or protocol being maliciously altered. However, these discussions underscore the importance of continuous scrutiny, updates, and robust security practices around Bitcoin and its ecosystem.”
