He was also responsible for ensuring the security of the protocol.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if there\u2019s a chance that he will come back to BTC Core development one day, Dobson answered Cointelegraph that his Ph.D. is his primary focus at the moment. And even though he hasn\u2019t decided what he will do upon graduation, he is not interested in the development of other cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>Dobson stated that he is particularly grateful for the support of his \u201cincredibly generous sponsor\u201d John Pfeffer, without which he would not have been able to prioritize working on Bitcoin part-time.<\/p>\n<p>He made an appeal to the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> community to consider financially supporting a developer due to the nature of open source projects. He also told Cointelegraph:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBitcoin Core development has obviously grown immensely since its conception back with Satoshi. As an open source project, it will always be in an interesting and more difficult position funding-wise, but things like Brink, Chaincode, Spiral, and direct developer sponsorship via GitHub have helped a lot.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bitcoin has already lost two maintainers since October. With Dobson&#8217;s departure, the number of developers with direct access to Bitcoin code has dropped to five, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcointalk.org\/index.php?topic=1774750.msg17700787#msg17700787\">according<\/a> to an updated list on the Bitcoin Forum.<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"crypto_biz\"><\/template>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
