People like those attackers and leakers are trash really and I understand he doesn't want to commit the same error again, but theres really old people on this forum that have contributed to SA-MP (via plugins for example) or are trustable, so a re-evaluation of possible candidates to join the Dev Team should be considered. It would be better, in terms of efficiency, bugfixing and speed if the team was bigger, but due to the circunstances it's not. But time went by... some things have changed, and in order for this anticheat to work, the team needs to be bigger, that's a fact. Regarding the open-source, tbh I don't really know at 100% how it works, call me a noob call me whatever you want, but I won't speak too much about it if I don't know the matter. Now open-source could bring good things to SA-MP because people from outside could give their contribute to improve SA-MP. Let me remember you that MTA is open-source, I don't really know what things have people contributed there but it's always a faster process to get the to-do list done. There are downsides, like everything else, but it's never too much using your inteligence and imagination to keep things in order and safe from leaks or other problems.

If you are already sharing the source code via internet with 2 people any third (hacker) person can get the source code if he can find out some 'attacking points'.
