Now that you're back up and running, this has the chance to be a really cool case study...

We know that alongside the balances in people's wallets, Hive accounts also have a social value tied to them based on their owner's actions and standing within the community.

While Hive's immutable accounts and decentralised network mean you can't force those that got double refunds paid into their account to send them back, irreversible damage could be done to their reputation if they choose not to.

So those users are now faced with 2 choices:

  1. Send the money back, thus keeping their social standing and ongoing earning potential via having their content supported with upvotes from the community high.
  2. Keep the money, giving them a short term windfall but potentially branding them as shit people and leading to no ongoing support.

Yeah, science!
