I've never seen so many "anons" in a single comment section on SN, anyways: as far as I can tell, there seems to be malicious efforts being made to include backdoors into Bitcoin Core, most likely allowing core devs- as well as any other actors that happen to stumble upon said backdoors to exploit the protocol in one way or another, if the changes make it into Core, correct?
What are possible ways that one could deal with the possible threats as described by OP, and what are the chances that this will unfold into a bigger mess?
Technically, in the present state of Bitcoin Core 0.27 codebase I would say it allows you to wreck a Lightning node, if you know where to hit.
Exploiting base-layer it’s a different topic, though if you can massively target Lightning nodes, not good for stability of miner incomes.

Most of the anons are all 100% correct and justified. The amount of total shit being blasted by a maniac that needs to step back and get help is ridiculous. Any person that has publicly and/or directly tried to talk and listen has been targeted by the OP eventually. So why engage publicly anymore? He's burned all trust or civility.
It's all one giant boy who cried wolf story over the last few years and people are fucking sick of it. The title of the post itself is malicious and blown over the top.

Hi Tony, I remember you to thanks me in-person for my Lightning security works at TAB Conf 2022, after or around my panel on this subject, am I correct yes or no ?

Aww come on, does this really pass the giggle test?
