Ok, who is ready?
Still holding on, would be good if yobit re-opened up the wallet though.
Okay, I just picked 10k+ of these a couple of days ago. I have not tried sending to the wallet because the wallet didn't sync from the get-go. Why is the wallet frozen (is this the right word?) on yobit?
Strange; My wallet is online presently; and seeing other nodes/staking. The wallet can take some time to resync sometimes may take one or two tries with lots of patience. And I know the machine my wallet is staking on; is behind some pretty serious network protection; not sure if it would be serving out copies of the blockchain itself (data caps, bandwidth restrictions, etc).
Yobits reasoning in my support ticket was "They needed to update the wallet"; but no updates to the wallet were released, so the language barrier angle is either being egregiously abused, or is simply just very very huge language barrier between him and the people who control the coinboxes..
Something inside me wonders if they started mining/staking off a sidechain/fork, and are waiting for everyone else to disconnect so they can reinstate/hold onto their bad chain....
Kinda the same premise of the VSync coin on their pool (as of 1+ year ago and earlier); operated on 100% a different chain; not the one the rest of the world operates on.
Only; compared to VSync, BUB has staking; and thus; yobit's wallet size would generate them quite a number of coins/day to slowly put for sale on the exchange and sell off to people... im not sure if they want to maintain that foothold and not have to eat some of the sales of those staked coins on their exchange; for fear that the coins sold may not be legitimately good being on the wrong chain. Most of those micro/small sell orders are theirs by my best reasoning.
I only have ~4K coins sitting on the exchange. Theres a chance they may fix the wallet; they literally just need to close the wallet daemon, delete the blockchain, restart the daemon and let it resync with the network.
