Peter McCormack calls on Richard Heart to rein in PulseChain community after receiving bag of feces from anonymous sender

British Bitcoin podcaster Peter McCormack reported receiving a bag of feces in the mail, which he attributed to an anonymous PulseChain supporter amid ongoing hostility between parts of the PulseChain/HEX community and prominent Bitcoin maximalists. The incident was surfaced in crypto circles via social media posts highlighting McCormack’s tweet, where he described the delivery and linked it to prior online harassment from PulseChain-affiliated accounts. McCormack is known as the host of the "What Bitcoin Did" podcast and as a vocal critic of Richard Heart’s projects, including HEX and PulseChain, which has made him a frequent target of those communities. Following the delivery, McCormack publicly called on PulseChain founder Richard Heart to rein in or denounce the behavior of some members of his community. The episode underscores the increasingly aggressive culture-war style conflicts within parts of the crypto ecosystem, where sharp public criticism of specific projects can escalate into personal harassment and offline intimidation. It also highlights reputational risks for project leaders when supporters engage in abusive tactics in their name, even without direct encouragement, raising questions about community norms and responsibility in decentralized, personality-driven crypto projects.
