I am also looking for what actually happened to the hotwallet issue but no one seems talking about it, all are talking about campaign payments but casino hot wallet is more important because if there is no casino then there will be no campaign at all so everyone should let the main concern to look not the temporary benefits.
The main problem of the hot wallet is basically similar to the campaign issue. When the hot wallet is empty, lightlord seems to be very slow in refilling it so players have to wait for weeks before withdrawal is processed. It looks like that lightlord is handling all his projects alone, so when he has no time because of IRL business or activities , there is no one who are handling the projects.
But hot wallet and the campaign payments can't be considered as same priority thing, I agree that everyone who is working with their campaign should get paid on time but it has very simple solution just let the campaign manager himself to proceed the payments weekly but handling the hot wallet can be tricky if he is busy amd still don't want to trust anyone.
