Come-From-Beyond did some work for me in 2013 -- I never had any problems and he was generally quite helpful and easy going.
And then Come from Beyond's sidekick (Sergio of IOTA) attempted to get pull requests done to make it easier for him to patent troll Bitcoin:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/5102https://github.com/BlockheaderNonce2/bitcoin/wikiAfter patent trolling Bitcoin, they team up to release an IPO scamcoin named IOTA. People like Come from Turkmenistan and Sergio have spent a lot of time in Bitcoin with no payday, so they get desperate looking for some kind of cash grab to monetize their time spent and come up with these scams.
Sure you got the right Sergio?
He's listed in the pull request. Two guys seem to have been attempting to modify Bitcoin to make ASIC boost more effective so they can attempt to patent troll Bitcoin to death afterwards. And hilariously, one of these guys seems to be affiliated with IOTA. They had to know full well nobody is going to stand for that shit. The Chinese aren't paying any royalties.
The only possible outcome of their actions would be mining wouldn't occur in any first world nation that respects patents, or Bitcoin developers shut down the boost making his patent useless. The result of his actions can be considered nothing besides patent trolling to waste everyone's time while he has no chance of success anyway.
