I fully support the ideals and goals of BU. The elimination of the centrally-planned production quota would be the elimination of the most significant bug Bitcoin has.

That said, it does not matter who is attacking. Better it be bitcoiners now than the vampire squid after BU becomes the majority client.

These widespread crashes are embarrassing. They do demonstrate a lag in software quality. BU would benefit greatly from an influx of good developers. Making excuses is merely making excuses.

Sometimes, I despair briefly from these events. Then I recall that each bug exploited, identified, and squashed, is one less bug in the system.

A suboptimal implementation of the correct design decisions is infinitely better than the tightest implementation of the wrong design. In time, BU will prevail.
