RE: 1st update of 2021 on BlockTrades work on Hive software

in HiveDevs3 years ago

I saw on your crypto exchange blocktrades.us that EOS is under maintenance. Why is it under maintenance? Also, there are two USD tether icons, one of which is under maintenance, and the other of which can be traded. Are there two cryptos with the same name?

Sort:  

EOS had what was to us an essentially "surprise" hardfork and it takes a long to replay EOS in such a condition. We've been replaying for several weeks now. If it takes much longer, we may look for some way around the issue until the replay finishes.

USD tether can be exchanged on multiple blockchains. Initially it was released on the OMNI network (which is an overlay network on top of Bitcoin's network). But eventually they added support for exchanging USD Tether over Ethereum as well. Virtually all our users now use the Ethereum network now for exchanging tether (cheaper and faster), so we haven't bothered to restore the OMNI wallet, since it would most likely just lead to user confusion (and increased fees if they used it). We may just drop the omni version from our web page unless we see a request to restore it to functionality.

What triggered the EOS hardfork?

If I understood correctly, it was some bug or similar unexpected "event", but I didn't pay close attention, so I could be wrong.

So is Leo part of the Hive blockchain or part of the Ethereum blockchain?

Maybe you accidentally replied to wrong comment? I'm not sure what you're referring to.
