Love this card, if youre aggresive it nets 1cash per turn, with 2 or 3 you need really nice ICE not to let runner run free.

Ruling question:
Is using Femme Fatale (core)'s ability considered using an icebreaker for the purpose of Cyberfeeder?
You're kinda using an icebreaker, but Im not 100% sure...

It would be 'using an icebreaker'. Just because you aren't breaking subroutines it does not mean that you are not using Femme.

I also litter these through my decks. They are awesome since I'm usually planning to run at least once a turn anyways.

Not so. The current ruling on Femme Fatale says you are not actually "using" the icebreaker when you are activating the ability to bypass ICE, so you cannot use Cyberfeeder's recurring credit. It is confusing, and it sucks, but these weird rulings also allow it to get around Tollbooth's 3 cred payment. So take the good with the bad.
That has been revised with the FAQ 1.1

Can the Runner use the recurring credit on to pay
for using Femme Fatale’s bypass ability?
Yes. Triggering any ability on an icebreaker is considered to be
using it.

Can this be used to install viruses off of Personal Workshop?
personal workshop has completely different wording - it is not paying for instalation - it doesn't work

Things people often forget you can do with this: Install AND Use crypsis or darwin (Virus ice-breaker). Increase strength of Darwin (most players using darwin knows this) and even the install trigger on atman.

Do notice when using paid speed installs that the credits only refill in the start of the runners turn, not the start of each turn (unlike Mac's abillity, which can be used to reduce cost EACH turn)
