Some of you might now about tip.cc (as currently it holds 7K hive, 265 HBD and a lot of LVL / WOO / NEOXAG / 50K PIZZA
It was known since quite some time that the owner oknu didn't want to keep the project forever since it was running at a loss. Yesterday, it seems like there were (like usual) some small issues and oknu stated that
Some services are down for 24 hours, this includes ticketing system, API (swap bots, etc.,). Wallets continue to work as usual.
Due to the nature of the issue, which will be handled over the next 8-12 hours (a day ago - a day ago), no official statement will be made from any accounts, on any platforms, including this one (). Funds are safe, don't spread rumours, misinformation or AIDS.
Beware of impersonators of the bot account - the bot account is @tip.cc (@tip.cc#7731). oknu@tip.cc email address (that's oknu [at] tip [dot] cc is open for email for those more concerned. #unknown is open for public discussion.
Do not click website links on the tip.cc Discord server.
-> At that moment it was just a pretty regular announcement, probably just about doing some it stuff.
But after a few hours and due to all the people that started to panick because of this announcement oknu did a really bad statement which even further increased the general panick.
Forced to earlier announcement due to sleepiness. tip.cc server will shut down later today. tip.cc bot will continue to operate (not sure what to do here honestly), support provided over at oknu@tip.cc, funds are safe, tickets will be processed at slower rate because it is a weekend.
Even though he meant the tip.cc DISCORD server many didn't get it and even further panickated, fuded ect.
What happened after is rumors and drama, but due to this scary shift in the bot management i decided it was time to move the 400$ i had on there to binance, i had to do kyc... but well at least the risk of disappearing with all my coins is a little reduced.
It made me bring 0.04$ on hive too haha.
If you use tip.cc or had it in the past and still have balances there you might or might not need to withdraw the funds for there safety.
If you don't have a wallet for a specific coin ask me and we can try to make something out (sending the coin on binance and then i send you hive ect).
discord/tip.cc, Was "stolen" it now redirect to a scam discord.
