I did a thing…

@beijingdou @guccheetah There is no moving forward - they screwed this one. No trust at all in their ability to do anything logical any more. The balancing numbers are literally a joke - there is no chance there was any thought put into it.

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

@nftgerry Based on the ridiculous balancing on reflections it’s pointless to hold now.

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

@grimyfrankie @guccheetah Nah its not much in terms of investment compared to other stuff I have but still not great to have that big of change.

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

Reflections were supposed to increase as more packs / boxes got opened. It was initially 100% allocation to unopened holders, now its 30% to unopened and 70% to cards which people can also play with or collect.

The shift was unannounced and a complete 180 from previous messaging - in addition if you look at the foil weighting its just plain stupidity. There's zero excuse for that level of ignorance / lack of understanding of basic math - if they had left out rare foils it wouldn't even have been so bad but they just made rare foils the most valuable thing to hold.

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

@guccheetah @grimyfrankie I mean just wait until they flip it again and screw you ... if you can't trust them to hold their word even initially you never can trust anything. Also I have zero faith in the future of it if that basic math is so bad.

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

@SickAssPen @guccheetah The rare foil balancing is criminal - zero thought went into it and its either lazy or really sketchy in terms of insider trading.

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

@mindfullybored @guccheetah @Boredpan888 Its completely ridiculous not just extreme - zero comms and a full 180 from what was published. Its not like they didn't know as they had to write code to handle card reflections. I thought we were past this level of failure but apparently not.

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

@grimyfrankie @guccheetah changing direction with no communication is now a good move?

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

@0xEvol @guccheetah not just less desirable - almost pointless ... the weighting on foils means theres no reason to hold unopened assets at all.

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

Yep and I get why you think that but they designed something in a way and made it enticing to buy and hold then rugged it basically. If they wanted to incentivize ripping should have never announced reflections for unopened assets.

If it changed they could have given a weeks notice or something so folks could decide if they wanted to sell or rip. They took away that choice very intentionally based on what I heard on the space.

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

@dim8765 Yeah but a lot of folks invested based on what they said about unopened assets getting royalties. I got literally crap for the amount I hold and I could have opened it if they had just sent a simple message.

Also the balancing on the foils is criminal and literally inexcusable.

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

@guccheetah @AllCityBAYC @yugalabs @BoredApeYC Yep - its either lazy or sketchy so either way not good

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

@guccheetah @AllCityBAYC @yugalabs @BoredApeYC in this day and age this type of basic math / design error is inexcusable

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

@guccheetah @AllCityBAYC Honestly there's no explanation - if they are really that bad at simple math (note you can just use AI and it solves it for you) or its an inside job.

In either of the cases there's literally no reason to believe in the future of it.

[Brian Bento @hack1ge]

@HasThreeKids @beijingdou literally how it was supposed to work - gg on zero communication

[thomas 🍌 @HasThreeKids]

@beijingdou my fault for not reading, thought only unopened earned.
