What's Up with POB?

in #hive-1679228 months ago

EDIT: POB renewed its domain and fixed the rewards. Loosing a domain name can be devastating for a tribe. I will leave the post; so that future generations will be able to study the evolution of POB which I am sure will be considered a reserve currency.

Is #POB on its deathbed? or are we just witnessing a strange political struggle in the #proofofbrain community?

Holovision pointed out that POB let its domain proofofbrain.io expire. They also appear to have stopped paying their reward.

This is the domain registration on domaintools.com:

The HE blockchain explorer shows @proofofbrainio is receiving but no longer dispensing rewards:

Tribes can withstand the loss of a domain. They cannot overcome a break in the contract.

I've been looking around for posts about the status of the tribe, but didn't find any info. I thought I would ask the question on inLeo as the #LEO community is often in the know about intrigue in the crypto world.

It might be possible for the POB to save its domain simply by paying the web hosting fee.

The failure of POB reminds me of the failure of LeoDex. I lost 10 HIVE when the leodex swap collapsed last year. I suspect that my POB will devalue to zero as well.

I made the image for this post using NightCafe. The image is supposed to be a robot using a human brain to complete a CAPTCHA. I thought that might be a fun #meme

Seems like they just dead

But if you do that for others like @leo.tokens (the LEO issuer account) it's the same pattern.

if I understand correctly what is happening is that Hive-Engine tokens like POB and LEO use a smart contract for tokens which mints and issues the tokens automatically independant of the issuer account (issuer accounts can manually issue tokens).
