Ill get the details from Adam in am. He was up super early dealing w boom. I believe it was a proof of concept for an attack vector. Also yes, I imagine there was some fun had on his part but this is not a long term strategy.
Ddos isnt the right term though. Its more a UWC (useless wasting of cycles) im sure someone can think of a more interesting term but it isnt denying service like a Ddos.
Now i have the adele ddos song in my head… thx!
