Well, Gavin Andresen is a bitcoin core dev that according to this very news just got hacked.
It's logical to think that when a core dev of something as sensible as bitcoin get's hacked and you can't trust the code anymore, it takes a really big chunk of credibility from bitcoin.
- VMG 10y agoIt's not clear if Gavin's Blog, Twitter or commit-access machine was hacked, if at all. Gavin is one of many core devs, and Bitcoin good enough security procedures to survive a dev's machine being hacked.
- sspiff 10y agoI think you mean to say sensitive, not sensible. Sensible means "makes sense".
- jakub_g 10y agoThat's a common mistake, and BTW, in Spanish and French "sensible" is the word for "sensitive" (I infer from the name the parent could be of Spanish-speaking origin)
- wolfgke 10y agoThis is a typical German-English false friend: sensible (en) - vernünftig (de) sensitive (en) - sensibel (de)
- thevibesman 10y agoAlso in French: sensible (en) - raisonnable (fr) sensitive (en) - sensible (fr)
- jbmorgado 10y agoYes, I meant "sensitive" thank you. It's that in my mother language "sensível" means "sensitive" in English, hence the mistake.
- danielweber 10y agoI can't figure out the news story where Gavin got hacked or his access revoked. This is a giant ouroboros of everything linking in a circle. I'd almost suspect a practical joke of some kind if the major news organizations weren't invovled.
