This is utter bullshit as over the past week I've seen my mempool easily get down below 1MB of transactions now that the transaction spam has ended on mainnet.
You think it has been low recently, wait until after segwit is active and starting to get used by major transactors.. :-/
Best part of it was hours of going on about the attacker while making it clear that almost no one on that repo is even running their own testnet, and letting it go ~29 hours for a block. If it takes 29 hours to fix an issue that takes a simple modification, restart, and potentially running a shell-one liner to generate txn if there aren't enough-- how may people can possibly be working on this thing for real? 0.5?
Sounds like they are really dedicated to this matter to secure value. and with little ploys like these they may inspire confidence and obtain a 10x increase in their participation levels and get 5.0 to run their reliable software.. on billions of devices, including a supercomputer in greenland.
