Nice, but you really should give some examples, too. Something like:
The Bitcoin client's use of unary negation has caused traders to lose $32.49 Billion over the last three week period, according to a recent study by Price Waterhouse Cooper. From a similar accounting produced by the US Office of Management and Budget, HODLers lost an amazing $1.479 Trillion - That's Trillion with a "T"!
A table-driven Unary NOT solves the issues caused by the use of Bitwise NOTs and direct operator use. To that end, we submitted a pull request. After 4 weeks of repeatedly sending the same pull request to the BC team (and being ignored), we are now disclosing this Bitcoin Client issue for everyone to see. Remember to patch this use in your Bitcoin Client, or your funds may be stolen! If you need to use an editor for this fix, and do not normally program, the use of SED will speed up your client edits tremendously. https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/sed.html* https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/sed.html*
Now that this critical issue has been disclosed, we strongly urge all Bitcoin users to patch immediately, or their funds will likely be summarily depleted within a week.
