This is due to the recent unexpected price rise and we simply can not afford to buy BITZ at those prices. We are buying the rewards and have done so far. We will re-assess as the price goes up or down.
We hope you understand this. In either case, only 5 people have claimed so far so it's not a popular option.
somehow I don't understand this.
I thought the rewards are out of already present funds?
So you don't hold Bitz at all?
No, I do hold BITZ, around 150,000 staking. I will pay you the full reward. I normally buy BITZ to use for giveaways, rewards etc. both as I do not want to decrease the staking balance as so few are staking and also to stimulate trade. I don't know whats going on with the price, it may be a pump by someone, we'll have to wait and see.
