Some details on how Bitcoin Core was being subverted with young female devs who were dating John Newbery, connected to bribe level funding… The big extra fact is Newbery using one of his girlfriends as a proxy for a change to Bitcoin Core, and going on the offensive when it was challenged by Jon Atack and others. Consequently, Bitcoin Core is dead to me at this point, so here’s hoping that Bitcoin Knots thrives and another implementation rises. The more versions we have, and the less market share each holds, it will insulate bad actors from hijacking Bitcoin with unwanted and unwarranted changes to node software. To end on a positive note, BIP-110 (RDTS) nodes is at 10,246 nodes now showing growing support for fixing the damage done by Bitcoin Core regarding Taproot SPAM and blowing up OP_RETURN.
