Wow, it's been there for two years? Just a coincidence that we had the greatest bull run in crypto history at the same time?
Andrew Myers
Remember that time there was a critical vulnerability in bcash and they didn't notice until a Bitcoin dev pointed it out to them out of the goodness of his heart?

If this were exploited more often then Btc will be fucking worthless.

BTC has alot of bugs. patching around the bugs caused a great deal of extra complexity. Most projects are actual scams and just fork all that shit anyway. Skycoin fixed all the bugs by rebuilding from the ground up. This is why Skycoin is known as a scam. If this doesn't make sense to you, you need to spend some time studying about how the real world works.

did you even read what you posted you fucking brainlet? its basically nothing and thats why market didnt react. this shit has happened before
"due to the power of code, bitcoin users would have been able to detect suspicious activity by now.
When downloaded for the first time, full nodes double check every transaction made in bitcoin's history. A node running the new software, 0.16.3, would detect the problem immediately.
Even so, questions remain regarding what would have happened if the bug wasn't caught in time.
According to Theymos: "Even if the bug had been exploited to its full extent, the theoretical damage to stored funds would have been rolled back."
Theymos continued, saying that rollback would be much like what happened during the so-called "value overflow incident" in 2010 when 187 billion bitcoinswere createdout of thin air but, ultimately, were destroyed."

And guess who found out this new bug? A BCH developer.

Bullshit. There's no proof that he did discover it.
On the other hand there's endless proof of bugs discovered by Core devs in BCash
Also this "bug" is fucking nothing, see: market price.
Matthew Moore
>no proof
There was literally a medium article in that tweet that @awemany wrote about how he found the bug and reported it to Core.

>Also this "bug" is fucking nothing,
it's so sad that it wasn't exploited. This would literally destroy btc, for the good of all.
