RE: VYB Impacts the Richlist Significantly

The the initial VYB white paper stated that, until the POB-for-VYB exchange is automated, there will be a minimum transaction requirement of 250 POB. That was meant to keep the # of manual transactions from getting out of hand. I am going to go ahead and lower that to 100 POB (and will update the white paper accordingly).

Your 25 POB have been returned to you because [1] you sent it to a depleted exchange account and did not include the word 'market' in the memo and [2] because it did not satisfy the 250 POB minimum-transaction-amount requirement.

The 1:4, 1:3, and 1:2 exchange accounts have already been fully depleted. That means the current exchange rate is 1:1, and there are about 290,000 VYB currently available at that rate. To claim VYB at the 1:1 rate, you should send at least 100 POB to @x-1pob-1vyb. (NOTE: I suggest that you copy/paste the account name when sending the POB, then double-check to make sure the proper account name has been entered. This is because, although Hive-Engine tokens sent to a non-existent account used to be recoverable (indirectly), they are now being claimed by a malicious bot. We plan to implement safeguards for this into the Verify Your Brain front-end. But, for now, sender beware ...).
