The last time HF was around he attempted to delegate responsibilities to the community, he was in agreement with your statement months ago. People were paid to take on various duties. I wonder who those people are and what they are doing?
Apparently not a lot. Reminds me of the Devcoin situation. Almost 40% of the coins are going to people who haven't done any of their jobs in over 12 months but due to mismanagement, they continue getting paid to do nothing.
There was a lot of activity before/during the UFC event, but virtually nothing since. I guess they cashed out?
I am one of the people who was given some of the 400k dev fund. I was given 100k to continue running the game servers at cashncarry.info. I have been in the process of scaling back the servers to match the declining exchange rate and dwindling funds. The west coast server is gone and the nuremberg server will soon follow.
Coinpayments.net stopped accepting HYPER. I contacted them and was told there was not enough volume so they removed HYPER. I find that odd when I send hundreds of dollars worth of HYPER through them by myself, but it is what it is.
I'm not sure which games are still up but afaik HYPER still has a handful of games going. Even in the absence of HF funds have been paid to people who agreed to integrate HYPER into their projects.
