There is no bad behavior in that, it's a fine example of how even if you don't know how to code yourself you can still get changes made to run yourself or share with others.
I am a good example of not knowing how to code and still being able to make changes
without hurting anyone or changing any existing rules (not gentlemen agreements)
.
This is an example of money being used to influence individuals to make code changes in a $1.8 trillion dollar network that affects others directly.
IsIt feels like a slippery slope... Paying for code is fine, but paying for propaganda and influence with the code is ehhhhh.....
If paying off Bitcoin Developers is now fundamentally acceptable for people that do not code,
I will beat the $100 per hour rate that Peter was paid for ANY assistance in supporting Bitcoin Testnet being a free market for testing.The worst behavior around bitcoin core is the hesitance to forcefully tell people who act like you to go fuck themselves.
I know the feeling. That last email you sent on the mailing list about Bitcoin Testnet inspired those exact thoughts as well.
Regardless if OP_Return is a mistake or not... it should not be merged in with this much noise going on IMO.
This all feels sketchy and probably needs to slow down.OPnet.org can do everything Citrea.xyz wants to do with no BIP(?)
