Just keep in mind that Bitcoin having almost a 6 billion dollar market cap, which peaked at over 10 billion last year is incentive enough for black hats to test all security weaknesses of the Bitcoin infrastructure. Bitcoin is constantly being tested and attacked because of this.

Useful links. But Bitcoin is neither an OS, nor an open hardware standard, nor a person, yet it runs on all of these, and each is prone to exploitation on a wide scale.

What I'm saying is that these are relevant vulnerabilities with measurable metrics - and that these could and should be measured and could even perhaps find their way back into the protocol itself, so as to make it even more resilient...
