Bitcoin Core developer Antoine Poinsot said there is a dangerous perception that Bitcoin Core is free of bugs, noting it is “dangerous and, unfortunately, not accurate.”
A group of Bitcoin Core developers has launched a “critical bug” disclosure policy aimed at more effectively communicating Bitcoin security vulnerabilities.
“The project has historically done a poor job at publicly disclosing security-critical bugs, whether externally reported or found by contributors,” Bitcoin core developer Antoine Poinsot and five others wrote to members of the Bitcoin Development Mailing List on July 3.
This has led to a situation where Bitcoin users are led to believe that Bitcoin Core is free of bugs, but Poinsot stressed that this simply isn’t the case.
