If I wanted to line my pockets, I'd write my own automated counter-exploit code, and orphan those blocks, and not tell anyone about it. But it would probably cost me more to rent the hashpower than if I just bought a lot of catcoin.
You've already written the code - and you kept trying to get us to run that as well. The rest of us were trying to figure out how to fix the actual problem. (Come to think of it, why weren't you using your 1337 skillz to fix the algo instead of trying to harpoon whales?) Bzzzt - thanks for (not) playing.What I would rather do is publicly explain to anyone who cares to listen how to modify a stratum proxy to get the network to be more stable *without changing catcoind*. But that will require coordination and some hashpower, and willingness to consider that maybe we should have a different way of looking at timestamps than Bitcoin did.
Great. Let's just jump from "Gee, my last takeover attempts didn't work...maybe I can find some suckers to try this one. MINIONS! I need minions to run my code!" Bzzt - thanks for playing.It irritates the hell out of me when everyone screams about "we don't have time to test this cause life", and then gets pissed off because I go and test something.
No, "he who hozes" - nobody is "pissed off" because you "go and test something" - we were damn angry because you kept trying to push your latest exploit and We All Said NO - and you did it anyway. Do not even try revisionist history on top of the other layers of BS. Bzzzt - thanks for playing.When I ran some code that nobody liked I thought Catcoin was an orphan, and needed someone to take it over. The fact that you all spent actual cash convinced me there was a community interested in doing something, and well, you know, being a community. The problem is that since then, nothing has happened besides a lot of infighting and FUDing.
More lies with a side of FUD. Nicely done, hozer, nicely done. Except you knew damn well Cat wasn't an orphan, you knew it wasn't up for a take-over (though God knows you kept trying). And you also knew full well that we were putting time and money into this project - you and I spent enough hours on the telephone talking about that, even if you weren't paying attention in IRC or via email. What you didn't know is that I've been learning C++. 
Bzzzt - thanks for playing.
Cat pictures...couldn't hurt...
