Bitcoin 'core' v30 malware due for release Friday
Posted about 2 months ago by Edelweiss🏔️
Run a v30 core node?
This is what the headlines could look like
Mainstream media will be ready to report this immediately. Stop it now. Run a (knots) node OR run a node with any other software besides 'core' v30 - due out Friday... Any old SSD laptop online can do this - otherwise the bitcoin network will eventually be trashed with this junk and node runners may be forced to stop their nodes indefinitely. This is a serious and vicious attack on the network. Claiming this won't/can't happen is rubbish. The headline is real and already happened to the BSV unsuccessful copy of bitcoin. There the exact same spam enabling software/code change was used. This is malware - software designed to harm. This needs to be kept far away from Bitcoin

Thanks for the comment. Yeah it seems we will manage to fix this judging by the chatter on X
We do need lots more node runners online. I have been spending some time getting two nodes running on the same network with 2 Tor addressed and one clearnet 8333. Doing my best to keep spam at a minimum
