I think we can forget about Rewards going up. with so much fud already impossible.
LOL. You think payouts are down because of FUD? Payouts dropped during the "power issue" and haven't been back since. Dropped again during the "hack." If any FUD caused payouts to decrease it's Marcelo's FUD-speak of "power outages and hacks and DC moves OH MY."
Payouts are down because deposits are dwindling and/or Marcelo decided to keep more BTC.
