Ok. I am really angry then i give some advice becouse you statistically blowing up a payout script once a week and we (node operators loose money)
I work in IT department few years as a network/system admin so maybe this will be helpful for you:
1) If something work properly dont try to "fix" it
2) Don't make any changes in working system in production environment. Do it on testnet or other test environment
3) If you don't know what are you doing, don't touch it becouse in 99% you will broke it.
4) If you broke something, inform your users about that.
So guys please don't touch this damn payout script and stop blowing it up. We all want our HZ for supporting network. This situation is really frustrating for us and unprofessional. I loose my money for renting servers, for IP assignment and loose my time to upgrade nodes to newest hz release so i expect it working.
Ok listen,
in no particular order:
1) in over a year we had not much downtime and there was only one time where payments were lost. all other times we paid you guys compensation - often even more than you initially lost - even though you guys are annoying as hell.
2) if you have no idea how big the bounty system is, how many things are working together to do payouts every day and how many things in it can, for some unexpected reason fail, don''t try to lecture the actual developers about it, because you have NO IDEA and you are the reason it is really hard to contuinue caring and implementing new features and bugfixes.
3) if you would read the forum you would be able to see that we are indeed testing on the testnet - it's just that the testnet IS NOT THE REAL THING and there are slight differences. I know that the testing is not perfect but the bounty system has been there since day one - though you might not even remember that because I suspect you joined recently - and it's been growing ever since. It has to be adapted for new horizon versions, it needs new features to control which nodes get paid and which don't, and so on. in short: it HAS TO BE TOUCHED TO CONTINUE WORKING FOR YOU
4) as you can see, users are pretty much informed the second something breaks because people like you are jumping on the forum and tell everybody. that's great. Most of them already know that we will repay every bit if it's possible. (one time we did not have a log of the failed transactions, sorry!) I could have used the 15 minutes I was typing this post to fix things.
5) Please tell me your account ID and I will relieve you of the immeasureable suffering you have to endure with the bounty system by stopping transactions for you.
6) Suck it
Sincerely,
a pissed developer that has to fix everything while explaining everything countless times ont he forum to people that do not care
Edit: a word
