This sounds like "planned halving day stunt". In my wild guess, this could have been posted with the approval of DS_ as OP never returned to back them up.
Looking at DS_'s posting history he's doing a good job staying out of threads like these, not replying in any of them. I think that's a wise decision he made.
Seriously guys, are you all really going to spend the halving holiday fuming about chipmixer? Just pop a few beers and enjoy the event.
