All of your arguments are fallacious logic and not addressing the points. So I see no reason to respond to any of it.

Looks like we hurt the whale’s feelings and they are HODLing in protest…

They will probably cry selling at a higher price.

If they are halting selling that also gives some evidence for that the whales are professional miners.
I have not read all of the hundreds of posts but I think I read that some of the common conspiracists and others thought it was google, Bezos or similar. don’t think they give a rats azz about Autonomi, ANT is just not big enough for them to bother.

They could be expecting a bounce with the announcement of the new exchange launching tomorrow?

Think some greedy netops at Hetzner that knew what was going on, they probably got educated in the process then hijacked some spare capacity to scopp rewards. Weirder things have happened, or the Hetzner management themselves stepped in and gamed it with a techie at the helm.
On unmetered power:
offgrid battery charging via solar or thermal, microhydro or even small wind, or all of them are cheap these days, Lead acid gel matt batteries are cheep now too and have good draw down to about 20% without wearing them out, (in case of grid power out) , running the battery banks as prime mover to power your nodes (freezer and refrigrator and aux. lights and space heater plug) is the way to do it, only use the public grid to trickle charge for battery top up/backup when the other stuff is not working (no wind and/or sun).

Good thing its not new money. If you read the post I linked to you would have known that. As David pointed out it was promised from way back in the very beginning in the first white paper. It is not new money but already allocated tokens that is being released. There is no increase in total supply of the token. It is still 1.2 billion, the emissions are not adding to that but a staged released of the OLD money from the coffers of the network.
When i analysed the logs from 3 thousand nodes, hetzner was not a major player. Be it customers, many here, or themselves. It was spread out. It is a few people, and I know of one business man with servers in a lot of cities he has been running 10’s of thousands of nodes during the beta waves days. and at least 2 South Korean people running 10’s of thousands during the beta waves. They now multiple by 10 to 30 at least like many of us when the resource improvements came in. There is a million or 2 in 3 people running non data centre nodes.

I am not saying they would run it at Hetzner, thats too obvious to track, those guys at the top are smart, they would operate elsewhere, colos, etc… They do know what is going on, so that is the place to look, who knew about how we worked, or had intimate knowledge with access to those types of resources and spare change to rent the resources. They might also be testing it out before they step up and step out to be known in public.
It’s standard risk management in new venture space, for ‘them’ its an easy low risk cheap POC @ scale to see if ‘the stuff (Autonomi)’ hangs in there under load, removal of nodes, etc… and also a good way to see how the dev team responds as problems show up, are they responsive, do they solve problems quickly, yadda, yadda.
I have to add, re: the past 13 days, it’s like a scene out of “A Nights Tale’” (Keith Ledger et al), "you’ve been weighed, measured and, found… "

If people wanted to upload their recent logs to the internet (or autonomi) then I could collate them together. I would ask the files are dated so we can not end up using log files that are not recent. Would be good to mostly get them from large node setups.
And if pass them through a filter like cat */logs/* | grep -i "/ip4/" >20250225 then that combines the logs and reduces the volume
Its not important but we could make a location map

Where do you want us to send the logs? I have a whooping 4 nodes worth.
Anywhere I can download them from.
Honestly though 4 nodes will not help much unless there is 1000 people giving 4 nodes worth. Even my modestly mid sized home setup is 1000 nodes.
I would mainly be looking for those with large setups over say 2000 nodes. Otherwise it takes too long just collecting the logs together. And its not important enough to create some web uploading site doing the work.
As an example a script getting quotes for random files will collect a thousand nodes worth of useful node address logs in one thousand or less attempts of getting a file quote. In the earlier beta networks I could get 50,000 worth in a few hours from home. Maybe that would be a better way to get them

Just a cheeky observation to our esteemed mod here
Youse are waaay off topic for
ANT Token - Price & Trading topic
but its fascinating reading all the same.
Staying well off topic - on perusing my Formicaio nodes and the info that @bochaco has provided for us , I note that many (20-30%) of the nodes have Conn.peers:0
I’m guessing this node is useless and simply taking up resources so I prune them every few hours. I also note that the no of nodes going into this state grows over time.
If I am not alone in this then it follows that of the 13m nodes out there at least 4m are effectively dead.
Or am I entirely wrong?

You miss the point entirely. Of course it’s part of the plan. I’ve talked about the 8% for some time now - which demonstrates I am already aware it’s part of the total amount.
The point is that it is a reward for nothing and it is new money in the marketplace - new money that didn’t have to be created in the first place - or at least could have just stayed with the foundation for development.

is hanging in there well.
Not really. There is more to this than just what you have focused on.
I’m not going to argue with a point made out of one slice of the whole plan to dish out remaining tokens. Slicing it up and making arguments based on that one slice is not so productive when actively ignoring the other slices that make up the whole.
But a promise is a promise and how many times do people complain that they are not adhering to the original goals.
Anyhow I will leave it to you if you are not willing to go back and listen to what the founder of the plan had to say about it.
