Sad, sad to see. Some even attempted to get away with cutting rates during an ongoing term (Coinut). Pathetic behavior.
Coinut IS getting away with it. The comments on their thread indicate that they're calculating payments for the most recent term (during which the rate change was made) for the new discounted rate, not the full rate they started the term with.
Pulling this kind of shady shit is an easy way to motivate people to resign...maybe that's what Coinut wants.
If you're frustrated about this, let Coinut know. Here's there signature campaign thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=992660.0This is where the advantages of having an escrow for the campaign come in. Unfortunately coinut doesn't have one.
If you really feel strongly about the fact that Coinut shouldn't have cut rates midway, you can open a scam accusation thread and see how things play out.
