Those attacks on the Hive Witness nodes (not just #HiveEngine Witness nodes) themselves are probably the reason why @savvyplayer experiences problems publishing any comment or voting using the #Ecency mobile website (whether main or alpha) !INDEED. 🤔🧘♂️🤯

Yep, exactly, so now we have some notable issues in both layer 1 and layer 2. I'm really hoping that they can be mitigated. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Those issues also seem to affect the #dustsweeper bot whose Hive account I send recurring HIVE transfers to (as balance top-ups), such that the bot is supposed to inform the sender very soon after the transfer about how much balance they have. 🤔🤓 My third (recurring) transfer was already about 3 hours ago (so the first two transfers were two days and one day ago, respectively) but the bot still hasn't told me my balance. 🤯🤯😅

Yes, I used to do that with that dust-fluffer bot, and I probably should again at some point. Interesting, and yes, it is almost certainly because of the Hive-node issues. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

The #dustbunny bot's Hive account is heavily struggling with fluffing all those dust votes, as seen with its Voting Power having been less than 80% since more or less a year ago. 🤔🤯 That's as opposed to #dustsweeper whose VP is just sitting at 100% (for which I want to suggest to give away some as "bonus" votes for its users). 💸🤯🤓

The poor bugger. I should delegate more, though I'm more than a little overextended at the moment. I delegate to the other fluffer bot too, and it sends me some HIVE, and sometimes HBD, regularly. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

When the price of HIVE rises significantly again, it would take off a lot of dust-fluffing load from the #dustbunny bot !INDEED. 🤔🧘♂️🤗🤓

I really hope that the fiat price of HIVE does rise again, as it's been in a downtrend since 2021, and it's dangerously close to $0.08. If it goes below that price, very unpleasant things will likely happen on Hive. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

We can !HOPE that if ever the price of the HIVE token goes to its all-time-low (ATL), then people on (and off) Hive will buy huge amounts of that token (whether manually or automatically), preventing the price of the token from staying at its ATL for long periods of time (and also hopefully have a significant and prolonged surge in price). 🤔🤗😏

The "other bot" to the "dust fluffing" #dustbunny bot is the "dust sweeping" #dustsweeper bot. 😆😅
It's !INDEED a source of HIVE (and sometimes HBD when out of HIVE) to delegate Hive Power to the #dustsweeper's Hive account, though the daily amount received by each delegator heavily depends on how many users of that service top up their dust-sweeping balance for the previous day. 🤔🧘♂️💸🤯🤓

I know. Thank you for stating the obvious again.
I haven't sent it any HIVE in quite a long time, and I still receive useful amounts of HIVE and/or HBD. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

You just said the other fluffer bot on your previous comment, so I mentioned that you were referring to the #dustsweeper bot !INSTEAD. 🤔🧘♂️🤯
A #dustsweeper user can delegate (a good amount of) Hive Power to the dust-sweeping Hive account, then set a recurring transfer of HIVE (or HBD) there, so that the user can get their dust votes swept with minimal supervision. 🤓😎😏
