FYI to the new people here, those are all lies.CoiledCoin: I used my own hashing and did not perform any actual attacks. I stopped it from working simply from playing by the rules fairly. As a result, the scammers who were planning to pump & dump it got pissy and started making up accusations.
"Blacklists": My spam filter improvements are not substantially different from the ones written by Satoshi and included in the reference code since 0.3, except in terms of effectiveness. They do not target specific entities/people (non-spam sent by the spammers is unaffected), and are thus not
blacklists.
bitsofproof: I offered to have Eligius use his alt-node software as a precaution against potential bugs. It would have improved his software's security to do so, and you can clearly see he understood that from his replies on the thread.
cgminer: I have never denied them credit for the parts
they actually wrote. They were not significantly involved in FPGA/ASIC mining until approximately the time they decided to fork the project. Even after they forked the project, I continue(d) to clear attribute their improvements when I ported them over (
for example, see here). On the contrary, the cgminer developers have since pretended I didn't do anything (such as modularising the code and adding the FPGA/ASIC support foundations, as well as some of the initial drivers, the others of which were written by neither of them).
