...So far ~50 people have been paid out. Around 4x as many people are marked accurate. Right now, I think people marked as accurate will be paid back first. If you aren't in that category then you'll have to wait until after they're paid, at which point a new batch of people will be marked with accurate status. And so on, until 50% payouts have been done.
Originally me and Tihan marked a bunch of people as accurate based on our assessment of character. This is how Zhou wanted to pay people back quickly (just by deciding who is notable and who isn't). However Donald, who's largely taken the initiative on the payments prefers to do them completely based the numbers. As he's taken charge of it, I prefer to respect his decision on that. So people who send us emails like "I'm so trusted in the community" - that really does not have much bearing (for now).
The claims are making good progress. It's expected to be slow but I'm satisfied and don't want Donald to rush the process / make mistakes. That would be the worst thing ever as we only have the exact funds from the site.
This is a previously written post I had decided to keep for myself,:
At this point, day 50, Say there are 3 people who process one claim per hours for 8 hrs a day (conservative), If there is a queue sorted by owned BTC.
and that all those before me had the same amount and those behind nothing. (very unlikely)
, that I am the next to be paid (unlikely).
You guy had what ? ~ 3 000 000BTC to pay out ?
Do you realize many people would pay you ~200$ to get their claim priority checked.
Honestly, What is it you're doing ? My brain's boiling.
Ok so you've processed ~10% of claims to 50% accuracy in ~50 days.
Now learning,
There is ONE GUY , Who process claims ?... 50 has been paid in 50 days and you're satisfied ?How can anyone expect getting back more than 50% of his fund before 2017 ?
Thanks for the honest update, it fell good to have some realistic expectation.
