I think Allcoin is taking a pass on HBN. They said on the troll box that it was too much of a memory and CPU hog and impacted their other daemons.
That's really looks bad for them, IMO. It runs fine off a raspberry PI, can get much more cheaper computer then that. Plus people sent BTC to vote with. Those should be fully refunded, otherwise the entire voting scheme is nothing but a scam.
I agree, the btc should be refunded. I also am guessing they got lazy syncing a large chain and maybe looked at the resources while syncing?
You might be right, it is rather CPU intensive when in initial sync. Afterwards, if you don't stake, it uses the exact same CPU as any other coin(next to nothing). And the memory is right in line with all others as well, in relation to block size.
A simple request and I would make them a full bootstrap and index if they wanted.
Sorry guys. Shame how difficult it seems to be for people to keep their word when dealing with crypto.
