Hello and thank you for your comments. I do believe you are correct in your statement that Blandin33 was referring to deposits being closed on exchanges, but I did not want to assume anything, as that is how one gets in trouble is by assuming.
The Medium article you pointed out does mention the
security, and stability of our network which is an important criteria when considering opening deposits. There is further reference in the article as well about the scammer who attempted to steal 200k NRG from our community members This is an item worth mentioning again for anyone who has not yet seen it.
During the migration to Gen 3, scammers attempted to steal over 200,000 NRG from our community. This would be catastrophic not only for the victims, but for everyone in the Energi ecosystem who would have suffered from major market dumping of these illicit gains.Personally for this reason alone, I am glad that deposits are closed. If I was one of our community members who was violated by the scammer, I would not want them to benefit by being able to sell the stolen coins on the exchange. For so many of our community members, any amount of Energi, no matter the value, can be life changing for them.
The reason why deposits are closed, does not affect anyone from withdrawing from exchanges - they are free to do so if they like.
As for the "accusations" being tossed around by some, that the Team is keeping deposits closed to manipulate the price - if I personally step back and look at it, it seems like just another far fetched accusation by some. The Team has stipulated many times, and also in the medium article, the reasons for them being closed,
security, and stability of our network.
I will post the article here for anyone who may want to take a few moments to read it again or for the first time.
https://medium.com/energi/important-update-exchange-deposits-8aad7a120b3eblandin33 - Please take a moment to read as I am responding to you as to why deposits are closed- The question has been answered many times- it is for the security and stability of the network. Please try to be patient.
Wait a second here. This is the second time NRG reveals a blacklisting process without even any announcement on the board !
Ok this
might be an obvious reasons, but STILL, where is the voting ? Where the community masternode voting on taking over user funds ?
1st The fired dev ( andrey ) got his coins frozen 90K something
2nd A presumed hacker "bashful" got his coins frozen 200k something
WHERE WAS THIS POSTED ON DISCORD OR ANY OTHER MEDIUM FOR VOTING ? I used to respect you alot Blackstone but the double standard in dealing with things really raises huge red flags.
As a business man and experienced person, for me this is totally obvious
ENERGI is owned by TOMMY WORLD POWER and he is the sole decision maker in this project, and he added the power to freeze and control any wallet as he pleases.
Good luck to all with this mess I will go ahead and delete my wallet so I don't even think about this anymore.
Hi there I am back with new account, it is necessary for me to hide behind several new accounts so I can create proper FUD for being terminated
Let me explain, the governance feature is what I actually helped the team develop. I forgot or never really understood how it works but anyone except me will understand.
Suppose, someone dms you on discord pretending to be a Energi team member and then tricks you into sending tokens over for any reason. If you do, essentially that person has scammed you out of your hard earned tokens.
Now if this was Ethereum or Bitcoin? What can you do?
Nothing.
Well okay, maybe you now go into panic berserk mode and start contacting exchanges and HOPE that they stop the scammer from cashing in.
Here on Energi, when I built this governance feature which I still dont understand but I THINK the core team freezes a scammer and then puts up a proposal for approval. As a matter of fact I heard someone tell me that the marketing team wrote a post on it.

I wish Energi team released more info!! I am trying from some many accounts to try to get them to talk more but sighhhh!
