One Bitcoiner's cat gave 'dirty protest' a whole new meaning.
) protocol. For bad actors, attacking nodes and bringing them offline is a sound strategy to undermine the network’s resilience. For one British Bitcoiner, such an attack took place, as the actions of his feline friend rendered his Bitcoin node “unreachable.”
Bodl_hodler told Cointelegraph that he “started running Raspberry Pi as Umbrel node January 2021,” as he wished to contribute to the overall decentralization of the Bitcoin network. Below is a picture of node in question before the attack. Notice the air vents on the node —a crucial element of the saga.The node ran smoothly since connection, confirming Bitcoin blocks on average every 10 minutes as per the difficulty adjustment. However, in late May 2022, whenunder $30,000, Bodl “Went to log into the node for the first time in a while and it couldn’t be found on the network.”
“So I pulled it out from behind the sofa only to discover it was covered with a crusty layer of baked on cat sick.” To his horror, Bodl discovered that his large black cat, Pablo, had vomited on the Bitcoin node. The"dirty protest" had affected the node’s ability to connect to the internet and run. Bodl explains, “The vomit got through the vent slots and took the node offline.”Indeed, if a Bitcoin node goes offline, it no longer contributes to the security of the network, potentially jeopardizing the Bitcoin protocol.
