Bitcoin Core speeds up security fixes as 44% of surveyed nodes run unsupported versions
- —43.6% of 8,422 public Core peers run unsupported release lines
- —Unsupported share could hit 51.1% after Core 32.0 is released
- —Under the old policy, flaw details surfaced about a year after a fix
- —The new easily-discoverable category has yet to see its first public use
Why it matters: Faster patches only protect the network once operators install them, making upgrade discipline key to Bitcoin's resilience against AI-driven vulnerability discovery.
