Has anyone else had any luck using Citra bridged Bitcoins to create spam? If so, I'd really appreciate a link. Thanks!

This whole thing is bringing back memories of Satoshi Dice. People, especially of the more Karen-esque type, were apoplectic about it but (after a time) I came to think of it as a net positive thing because A) it's wasn't a problem _due to system utilization at the time_, and B) it was a really great vehicle to induce discussion and development.

In my recent research, I've run across new-to-me faces and philosophies. That Uzi Wartharmer guy, for instance. Seems in a lot of ways the Erik Voorhees of the time. It actually seems to me that under the surface he is one of Bitcoin's more valuable contributors and perhaps deep down, a genuine 'patriot'. At the very least, he's pretty clued in from a system engineering level, and also pretty funny. Yes, he's clearly a degenerate spammer as well. I don't see them as mutually exclusive, but that's just me.

That's the whole "Citrea issue". Building a "Core corruption story" around that is quite lame, I think.

And thus I'm very disappointed from those developers who are now fueling this anti-Core shitstorm. Because they should know better.

Seems one of those rare opportunities to see 'what's under the kimono' so they say. My perceptions of various players/groupings, technical and otherwise, has certainly undergone some changes in the last few weeks.
