I have now added language to the HF Help Docs Account Profiles and Pruning.

My Bytes were deleted, where did they go?
The Bytes for a member are set to 0 if there is one year of account inactivity. They can't be recovered.

Thank you.

Change 1 year to 30 days

Hehehehe

Sucks to suck, suckers.


Inactivity means not logging in right? Like you don’t have to post to be active?

How long have bytes been around now?

Over a year. Sometime in like June 2018 give or take a month

That's what I was going to say. June 2018. Just about the same time as contracts.

This is very reasonable, hopefully nobody riots :P

Just wondering as to why this change was implemented?

Like I doubt if someone was inactive for a year, would care for their bytes at that point.

Because we are going to show stats public for the Bytes economy. We have a lot of policies with pruning. This is just one more.

Fair enough. I don't really see this really causing an issue at all.

Ooo are we getting a new Bytes stats page?

That would be wicked cool to see.

I like this idea and think it’s very fair.
Question: does this also apply to members accounts being closed?

When a member's account is closed I believe there Bytes are wiped at that specific moment of closure already. I'm not 100% but I think that is what happens already.

every time I have seen a member be closed they always have 0 bytes, i think it happens instant

[Mr Kewl]

This is very fair I guess, no point of them bytes if you're not around for more than a year.

That’s what I thought.
However in the Crypto game this member still shows as number one in the rankings.
Said member has been closed for some time now.

Loving the updated page on the Help Docs, A year is a very long time so I am sure that people who wait 365 days to not log in to find they have no bytes anymore are sure to not even notice.
