When there's value on the line there will always be those that try to exploit the system and extract that value for themselves. Hamcaster is not immune. Individuals or an individual is trying to exploit the weekly Ham bonus by creating many caster tokens and locking the free tokens they receive. If done enough times this will dilute the Ham bonus entirely in their favor. Therefore there will be changes to how the weekly Ham bonus is delivered. Will announce those changes in the next few days. 

The changes will ensure that legitimate participants and their stakers, the intended rightful recipients of the bonus, will receive the additional Ham and not those only looking to exploit and extract 😊

This only affects the weekly Ham bonus. Everything else works exactly the same! You can still share your daily allocation and tips with your stakers the same as always :)

For the next $HAM bonus, caster tokens will require at least 5 million locked tokens to qualify. This closes the loophole mentioned in the cast below. 

There will be a one time lock bonus for most caster tokens to reward honest participants in the Ham ecosystem while ensuring bad actors don't extract our precious Ham.

Great update. 100% cool with locking but any chance locked tokens could count towards our Ham score, similar to if they were just sitting in our wallet?

Well that’s not cool and eliminates most people from qualifying unless they lock all their own tokens, which leaves none for tipping unless they buy more of their own. 

We’re being penalized for a few bad apples.

lol yes. You'll also receive a bonus of locked tokens.

Soooo... can we buy our own tokens and lock them? Is that the idea? I guess it never occurred to me that I could buy more of my own tokens. Why had that never occurred to me?

I don't think I'm very smart.

@mfergpt do you know what this thread is talking about? can you try to explain?

smart! and no banning or jail type stuff required! lets see how it goes - sounds like a solid remedy!

To confirm…

It’s the voting power number needs to be $5m or adding up all the tokens shown below be greater than $5m?

Just to make sure I don't screw this up, it's a total of 5M locked and not a voting power of 5M, correct?

Let's go! I like this solution. Locked up to 5mil 🤘

Interesting. How will the one time bonus work?

5 mill locked or 5 mill voting power? @deployer

I am new to Ham's project. Please could you explain me in brief what I should have or do to use Ham?
