That's the whole thing, Devs may not be running the show but they are engineering it.

And, of course, you're always right!

Based on my over 20 years experience with IT, bugs are quite normal and unexpected delays are typical and not a result of malice.

Sitting around, making assumptions based on no information from the people who know, I can see how your mind can go there.

Remember when all this is over what you are saying now vs. what  will be the history and judge yourself accordingly.



"The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient." - Warren Buffet.
 
Coin is no different and I have paid the price for panicking and being impatient.


In a couple of weeks, we'll see how it all plays out.
You may be right but I'll still be fine.
But either way, there will be a lot of whining on this thread.

Not really, it sucks.  I want to get started and make some coin.

Whining about it changes nothing.

Nobody needs the emotional vomit.

I just have a long term approach and am not that concerned about it.

It's only money.  If you can't see how little value money is compared to things of real value, by all means be upset.

But nobody cares about your feelings.

If they were only after what coin has been bought, this whole charade would have been over and we would be hearing you whine about being taken. - in past tense.

In the present, all indications are what they say it is.
 

How did they get their nodes?
They held it in their own wallet while staking and created nodes with their own held coin.
They didn't give up that control to another.

I'm dependent on the  pool admin for my coin but I gave up control in favor of growth.

These holders have an advantage they created themselves.  "Being played" assumes the worst based on your assumptions based on your assessment stemming from the negative attitude.

Nobody played you.  You made decisions  

Hanlons razor:  
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Working in IT as I do with developers and major system changes, this kind of struggles are not uncommon.
The issue most of us have with this is that it actually is very public with DEVs coming online and discussing their problems and concerns.
Since they are actually working on the issues, they really don't have time to do a lot of discussion so they feed the info through the channels and it can get distorted as people take their own interpretations.

You didn't have to put your coin in a pool but it had a higher rate of return.  In making that decision, you gave up control over it and those who keep up and saved their coin in their own wallet had an advantage over the official pool.  Frogger's pool is now in MN's as he was able to see things coming up and put his own team to use.  That was cool.  Now he has his group set up with MNs and making coin.

Venting does nothing for anybody and is just emotional vomit.  Nobody wants to hear it and it only causes distress when there is no other information coming out.

At this point, nobody wants to lose coin but if you are a day trader and you want to make a quick coin, maybe you should have gone elsewhere.  When the dust settles, you will, most likely, lose out.  Warren Buffet says Investing is moving money from the impatient to the patient.  By the sounds of the comments here, there are a lot of impatient people venting about their frustrations.  Your frustrations are nothing compared to the DEV's frustration in getting this done.  You may have coin on the line, they have their reputation and status on the line.  Those are things you cannot buy.  Those things are worth more than money.  

If you get out as soon as the markets open, you will be losing out.  If you think this is all a big scam, by all means, fold.  Nobody asked you to join.  I hear a lot of whining.  When your default mode is criticism, you do no one, including yourself, any favors.

If you could not afford to invest into coin, you should try something else like a 401K or an IRA and save up until you retire your day job.

 I work in IT as an engineer and work with DEVs every day.  It takes a particular type of mindset and personality to be a DEV and not everyone can do it.  

That was me.

You're welcome.

There is a newer withdrawal document to request a withdrawal.

Devs have stated time and time again that the contested blocks will be restored and coin deposited.

There is a section in discord to notify them of that.

I work in IT as an infrastructure engineer and work with developers all the time and it is not unusual for new version and products to work out bugs.  Blockchain coins are even more critical as real money is involved.

Don't worry, just notify them and they'll get to it.

As for the pool, it has made a lot of gain in the past and the fork caused a lot of pain but they are growing pains.

I would not want my coin sent across a system that was unstable or questionable.
I got a lot coin there too but I am confident it will work.

You must be a destination kinda person, but there is a journey to follow here.
Try to enjoy the ride.

Jeeze, I'll bet you're fun at parties.

F5 and scroll to the right.

I'm waiting for my pool too and the FN count is now 122.

You'll get what's coming to you. (eventually, one way or another)

Lighten up, Francis.

What do you mean, it was updated yesterday.

Staking was only 3% for the past few days but it was 38% just before that.
Still staking now until you pull it out.

Scroll over to the right and you should find you new total.

and rejected.  WTF?

Trying to reach a helper who can fix this.

I'm back in now.

Anybody else get banned because of that?

Let me know and I'll tell the admin

-A1

Got through to an admin with my new account and he says he has unbanned me and dagmon75.



Haven't seen it yet but it may take a bit.

I got in using the link on the webpage.
Created a new user and I am waiting now for the email so I can post.

Frustrating, to say the least.

Looking through the postings since last night and nothing has really changed since the Spaceman video.

-A1

I'm on a different IP now and it is still not working.

I can get in but not to the B3 area.

Maybe it was not such a good idea to ask for SPAMing your main site to win a contest?
Just sayin'

DOH!!

No other B3 related activity either with my systems.

C'mon B3, what's up?
Need some info.  Paranoia is creeping in.
