[Passed] LiquidBits term 7 (addendum)

[Cybnate]

Not able to make the DNS changes right now due to other committments.

Update: Have made the DNS changes (workaround) and restarted the server. It is now successfully resolving again. Syncing Nu daemon underway. Services restarted in next 15 minutes or so when syncing is complete.

My apologies for the delay in fixing this provider related issue and thanks for your patience.

The issue with the Bittrex order being unable to be placed by PyBot hasn’t been solved yet and appears to be unrelated to the above.

The issue with the Bittrex order being unable to be placed by PyBot hasn’t been solved yet

It seems that NuBot suffers from a similar problem; order’s can be placed, but not initilized, which prevents the liquidity information from being broadcast - at least that’s my interpretation:

I tired to bypass the streaming server, but that didn’t help; will enable the streaming server for NuBot again.

[Cybnate]

I suspect the issue is indeed a wider issue. Have also been trying workarounds to no avail. Have just given Bittrex support another nudge.

[Cybnate]

Bump. Can use a few more votes on this in order to ensure there are enough funds to continue LiquidBits till the intended end date. See OP for the details. Thanks.

[Cybnate]

This grant just passed but…something is wrong.

I haven’t received the funds into my wallet!

Upon first investigation I learned that this address has been used before which is unusual:
https://blockexplorer.nu/address/BCigRTj8Lg25xSZLW59eUwuszw8nuPAubs/1/newest
I can’t recall it was by me, but not impossible. I’m tracing this down and will sync/repair my wallets just to be sure.
The wallet address does appear in my wallet. Checked it three times by now and compared with block explorer.
Wallet version used Nu 2.1.0 RC8, syncing on 2.0 now.

[Cybnate]

Wallet is still syncing, but this gets more disturbing.

I can’t find the transactions in the blockexplorer in my wallet and don’t recognise them as mine either. Most of them are from Sept-2015. Not sure what is going on here, but it more and more appears to me that there is another wallet out there since Sept-2015 not in my control with this address. The address have been used for payouts in ALPs a number of times including one payout from LiquidBits and several from Nu-Pool.

This specific NBT wallet with this address contains more addresses with balances and if compromised would have been likely emptied by now, so this is very strange. Can use some tips or ideas on what might have happened here awaiting another wallet being synced. Have I been stupid somehow?

I might have been stupid, it looks more like I picked an address from the address-book instead of from the ‘receiving payments’…

[Cybnate]

Right, I’m fronting up here, I messed up hugely here. Mea Culpa. The good thing is that my wallet is not compromised.
The bad thing is that I indeed picked an address from my addressbook instead of addresses for receiving payment by accident. The only thing I can hope that this a major lesson learnt for me and others asking for grants or providing addresses to get paid, will check twice.

I will fund LiquidBits operation myself till the end date of current operations. Not sure how to justify the remaining missing funds to the Shareholders. Maybe I should burn the remainder to make good on this unforgivable mistake. Any suggestions are welcome.

…and maybe someone recognises the address as theirs and still have the wallet in their control, just maybe…

[masterOfDisaster]

If It’s only about money, there’s no such thing as unforgivable mistakes.

It went quite bad, agreed. But if you want to find out what NSR holders think about that and if you intend to continue LiquidBits (which supports more than one fiat pair!), I suggest you put another grant up for voting.

I dare say Nu has lost more money than this for worse return - given another grant passes.

p.s. I checked the address. Unfortunately it’s not my old liquidbits ALP address. That would have made it easy…

[Cybnate]

It went quite bad, agreed

Not feeling fit for purpose with this one. First the mistake in the calculation and then subsequently the address error. The best excuse I have is that I was under too much pressure at work apparently neglecting Nu at the time this happened. The workload goes up and down and is hard to manage other than getting another job.

I suggest you put another grant up for voting.

Given how painful it was to have it passed and my messing up on top of it, I elect to fund this myself. I have to assess whether I should continue afterwards in the next few days. I’m lacking time to dig into ALPv2 and not feeling I will be ready before the current term expires in about 3-4 weeks time.

p.s. I checked the address. Unfortunately it’s not my old liquidbits ALP address. That would have made it easy…

Thanks for checking anyway. Hope someone else discovers that they suddenly have 990 NBT more than before and are so honest to return the funds to myself. In case someone want to do that anonymous, the address is B954pkUEdkeT1G5Lq14Cisij5no3RVxHYe. Checked it twice. It is the current payout address for LiquidBits which can be verified, as it has daily transactions in the blockchain.

[masterOfDisaster]

Not feeling fit for purpose with this one.

Either way of naming it won’t change what happened.

The best excuse I have

Sometimes explanations are more valuable than excuses

I elect to fund this myself.

I see no way of stopping you from doing that.

I’m lacking time to dig into ALPv2 and not feeling I will be ready before the current term expires in about 3-4 weeks time.

It would be a pity to lose LiquidBits this way…

are so honest to return the funds

That would be a nice move that could earn the honest person so much karma, which we all know is more valuable than money!

I’m just trying to remove some gravity from this topic. It really went pear-shaped, but I still say: Nu did lose more money - or should I say did waste more money? - on other endeavours.
Don’t take it that hard.
Mistakes happen.
Some think that if they don’t do anything, they can’t do anything wrong.
But very often not doing anything is the most wrong thing one can do.
And if you do things, sometimes they go wrong…

[zoro]

This isn’t my address either. I hope whoever got 990 NBT to return them back.
Or this address is just unused and thus we have just burned 990 NBT

[masterOfDisaster]

You can’t rely on the assumption that they are lost. They need to be treated like NBT in circulation.

[mhps]

It’s not my address.
Please ask the shareholder to vote it again to a correct address. In a way shareholder paid 990 NBT to send you higher on the learning curve. They should realize that your giving up would make this “tuition” a near total loss. Asking you to pay for it means you, and other pool ops, should ask higher fees in the future to account for this kind of “it happens” human errors.

[masterOfDisaster]

What he (@mhps) says!

[Cybnate]

After more than 1 week the ‘lost’ grant funds haven’t moved: https://blockexplorer.nu/address/BCigRTj8Lg25xSZLW59eUwuszw8nuPAubs/1/newest

Not likely to be an active member of the community or the keys are lost forever. Will keep an eye on it for a while.

[willy]

Definitely a NuPool user…

According to the blockchain someone has found the 990 NBT and unfortunately decided to walk away with it and not returning it. Sometimes you wonder what people think. May someone help this poor soul face their sins one day.

I will offer 15% (150 NBT) finders reward to anyone who can trace down this user resulting in the return of the funds to the Nu Shareholders.

[zoro]

A big portion of them went to BFMuP3kCpAfsjJnjr7286s3AGH8BsGxECG
this address seems to be an exchange address. Exchange owners can help to track this down
if the user is not anonymous.

Good find, the question is just which exchange. Once we have a name we can try to contact them. Hope someone recognises the address or transactions on it.

[zoro]

Well, you have to contact and ask every single NBT exchange out there!
But i doubt that we or you can legally move against this person even if we find him/her.
What do you think?
