power corrupts...you need some kinda rules/setup to tweak the bitcoin core...and perhaps pay for coders etc.....not sure ...how does it work for linux stuff?
no idea ...but does not bode well if there is not someway to 'herd the cats' on how to do improvements in code at least ....so some kinda fix i guess is needed.
just another bad result from bitcoin price 'tanking' 2/3 in price from jan or so
