Oh, that explains a lot! 🤣🤣
In fact, it could be the case of a scammer’s surge and it could result in a lost of funds, but the vbats will desappear anyway 🤦🏻♂️
The possible mechanisms anti-scam could be exactly the reputation built to do so in the very r/batproject, but, since it is a violation on terms, the vBats will be destroyed. In consequence, people like me (who cannot withdraw vBats and will lost it all anyway) will always talk badly about the project and be a anti-BAt from now on. Sad, but it was the way that BAT’s team has chosen…
There’s no opportunity to withdraw if it’s not possible to do it from a custodial service. Being always necessary to have a custodial account to do anything than tip people, would be (always) amazing to have a possibility to do so in any user’s case 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
All your text above is based on the premises that is possible to connect the exchange account, withdraw ur vBats and that it’s applied to everyone. Being a false premise, so the rest is just unecessary and don’t change the fact that all the accumulated vBats was just a pile of nothing since it’s not possible to connect a custodial account for so long now.
Even if they can do a “better job” in the future (being as “complient” as any shit legacy tech company), it’ll be forever a terrible start with this solution of vbat’s sunset.
