They did not healthy what can happen

 

hah, they really think that people will ddos their server? wanna killl theirs botnet DDD

 

>>> fifty dollar gift
poor.
Ddos service costs more expensive

 

I know brotha but that is only a game "challenge" if u know what is. Anyway, I think that can be dangerous.

 

ddos not really cause money, for example for free get yourself a good botnet and go go go

 

>>> fifty dollar gift

In such context for me rises the association with the german word "Gift" - poison...

 

i think you misunderstood what he say, what he means its for example, let say you need to DDOS someone or some server, if you go search for this kind of services they are expensive.
normally people who have botnet use them with activities that bring money to pocket =), so people who have their own botnet rent their services and of course it have more quality compared to a script kiddie that build their own botnet.
my opinion about this "challenge" it is just a marketing technique, lets say they suceed, this of course will bring more clients and in end, more money =)
things like this, could be usefull not only to products became better but to hackers work around and find new ways of breaking it.
this is the market, in end its all about money.
