Why would I design it to fail? I made nothing off of that happening, and lost 90% of my income from the project.... Comments like these are why I'm retiring from HIVE.
Anyways, no one is happy when a project fails.
60% of the time one of my programs (or bots) requests information from a node, the node returns an error when it used to just receive information and run 99.9% of the time. A project can't run only 40% of the time it's supposed to.
from average user point of view, it pretty much looks like this. The delegation rew. manipulation happened 1-2 months after start. You did NOTHING against that, so you were completely fine, most of people will lose very much on it - except the manipulator(s) and few other big delegator.
and top of this, it was running further, while they can sell their crap DVS, and of course, they undelegated couple of weeks after this wonderful event...
so yes, it pretty much looks like a SCAM!
and projects like this why I'm retiring from Hive...
Actually I adjusted the code making that manipulation impossible again, that's the exact opposite of nothing.
I work a blue collar job 60+ hours a week, I am responsible for 8 children, I have too much on my plate to argue with an unknown human... Regardless of how you FEEL, the facts are as I stated them
well, I know that, but after the exploit was done, it was like kiss to a dead guy...
anyway, not a big loss, and actually, it made me dig a bit deeper in Hive, and partly this made me recognize the ugly truth.
There are a few good projects on HIVE.
Just my 2 cents but I dont think this was a rug or set up to fail. HIVE is simply not big enough to make a rugpull worth well. haha.
Sorry to hear about you losing some money all the same.
I don’t blame anyone thinking it was. He didn’t update or respond for like 2 months. Sorry but that’s on him.
