But I am uncomfortable with this happening.
Honestly, I expected better from you. This is a terrible way to try to win people to your pool.
ROFL [edit] i wouldnt expext SMPPS miners to move to my prop pool
It has nothing to do with winning people. It is about pool owners disclosing to thier members what they are actually doing.
If your members are all comfortable with what you are doing - thats fine. But have you asked or informed them?

To me it is a very real concern that messages like the TXN aimed at you will proliferate and detract from the great thing that Bitcoin can potentially be.
Do you honestly think TXN s including PEDOPHILE accusations is a good thing for bitcoin going forward? (i am not accusing you just using the message aimed at you as an example) and it wont stop there.
I would like to see Bitcoin become more mainstream. header/txn wars arent going to help Bitcoin succeed among mainstream public.
