The fact they mentioned us in such a way means that ethereum (or at least one of its publicity-backers) sees us as a threat imho.

Thank you for pointing it out. Apparently the bot currently doesn't accept names with (spaces) in between: for instance, Carpet Ride gets sent to "Carpet", dropping off the second portion. Thanks for notifying me of this and we will add this to the list of little details needing ironed out for ease of use. I will ensure we check into it further.

Post by: hybridd on November 09, 2015, 05:18:33 pm: Hey carpet, the tip fuzzy issued was never processed. I received some misinformation about how names on BitsharesTalk, it was asked early on if names on here could have spaces and I was told "no [they can't]." However, after seeing your name, it's evident that they can.. so, I'll have to make a change to the bot today to handle users with spaces in their name.

What it thought fuzzy was trying to do was tip the user "carpet" with the amount "ride" (not a number) -- so it didn't get processed.

Edit: Testing changes:
