IOTA RSpammer

Rust-based IOTA 1.5 Client Spammer (Post Chrysalis pt.2)

Uses asynchronous message passing between spammer tasks, each with its own IOTA Client.

Allows custom Message Payload and Index, custom number of threads and optional local PoW.

Useful for experimentation with spamming where you don't want to necessarily use a Spammer Node Plugin. Provides insight into underlying statistical patterns of the protocol from the perspective of an IOTA client.
