Fantastic, I'm sure the bitcoin developers will appreciate the free labor. But if you care you have any reputation as anything but a hotheaded fool-- you should probably tone the public announcements down until you've actually completed your work! Otherwise, even when you do carry work though until you find something interesting (and I'm sure you would if you work at it long enough)-- you'll still have earned a poor reputation regardless.

i don't guard my reputation. this isn't 48 laws of power. i'd never become a blockchain socialite to the extent of social climbing to become blockstream's cto. i answer to no one and don't try to mold how others perceive me. interesting insults though - though i can assure you wholeheartedly that you don't want to make it personal. just so you know where you stand, who i am and who pulls rank on who. i rce'd slack too. bitcoin is food now. there is a dos here regardless - but thanks for the motivation
Haha. Typical digitalgangster/aoler/irc kiddie behavior. You are no one. You have no power. Your obsession with vanity handles shows who you are and what you're about. Making an announcement on a non-bug when you don't know about slowloris style attacks or how a one-liner derails your entire existence is just sad.

This is a great opportunity to get your ego in check. If you're really interested in security, follow the right path. No one here is impressed that you RCE'd slack (likely using someone else's research, and exploit dev nonetheless). No one is impressed with your Twitter or livejournal handle. And btw fuck anti and rj2 and the rest of those spam/scammers.

You probably smell bad. Dork.
