you could have easily incoporatde a line about the fee in the spammy shit your bot creates every day in the trollbox, so I'd say most of what you wrote above is a lie.

you tried to steal a bigger share of the cake than the community conceded you to have and got caught.

it's really as simple as that. by being upstanding and honest you could have avoided that shitstorm.

And I did incorporate. I already admitted we should have done it earlier, and I'm sorry I didn't think about it. We did not attempt to hide the fees in any way, anyone that asked about it got a straight and honest answer, except almost no-one asked, most just went: Look! they're taking a fee! they are scamming us out of our free money!

We did not attempt to steal anything, merely cover the costs of running the bot. as for the "bigger share of the cake than the community conceded you to have" part, I quote one of my earlier posts:

And I would expect an exchange or dice site to have a larger turnaround that 8 btc a month. If the turnaround of the bot increases, the fee % will be decreased.

MVDC and I asked in the chat about what % the fee should be, on multiple occasions. The answers varied from 1% to 20%. Privately we settled on 4.5% each. This was long before the jar even had 2btc depisited. We never thought that the jar would get as many donations as it did.

Since we asked on multiple occasions and chose a value at around the middle point, I think the fee was close what the community conceded us to have.
