This IS INDEED an attack on Bitcoin. It does not activate CTV - it would 
(if users are fooled into using it) give MINERS the OPTION to activate 
CTV. Nobody should run this, and if it gets any traction, it would 
behoove the community to develop and run a "URSF" making blocks 
signalling for it invalid.

I have not done any magic or innovation but updated activation params. If you agree with them, please run this client else build your own. Anyone who calls this attack and do not build alternative option is an attack in itself.
