Someone is feeding hackers all of the bugs that were fixed in Bitcoin Core since version 0.11.2 (or whatever version Unlimited forked from). I'm guessing they slam the BU nodes with a "new" exploit monthly, to keep pace with the news cycle and have "BU HAXXED OMFG" in the headlines once per month.
Not that big of a deal. BU is not the greatest code because it doesn't have enough devs. Core is a good team doing bad work for some financial saboteurs... Choose your posion.
This doesn't look to be the case, it would appear all the crashes so far have been due to a single very buggy feature(thin/xthin blocks) that was written by BU devs, it was never present in Core.
This is what I was assuming to be the case, it was confusing me constantly when people would try to argue that the crashes aren't due to something going on with the network or coding itself and rather some other reason, often more external.
I won't say that the Core devs are good guys. I won't say that the BU can't code, but I don't think that all these crashes are coming from something outside the network. I might be wrong, but I'll assume I have a decent idea of the issue for now.
