A Bitcoin developer named Jameson Lopp created a large number of blocks on the test network to stress-test the system's security.

This caused disruption and debate within the Bitcoin community, with some praising Lopp's efforts and others calling them vandalism.

Lopp argues the test was successful in finding a weakness that was then fixed.

What do you think?
