That had nothing to do with Engage. Hive nodes are now being targeted for the same kind of coordinated attacks that the Hive-Engine nodes have been suffering. Yesterday no posts at all would load on the Ecency website for the same reason. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

There currently is a technical issue with the #HiveEngage app again, so in the meantime, I and @savvyplayer won't be able to easily find your (as well as other Hive authors') old comments that neither one of us has been able to reply to yet. 🤔🤯😅

It's so interesting that I keep missing the times when Engage is having issues. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

The #HiveEngage app is now working (properly) again! 🤔😎
Your "autocorrect" made you miss adding an I between that keep on your comment. 😆😅

Good to hear, and for me too.
No autocorrect was involved in the omission of the 'I'. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I almost typed "not" !INSTEAD of "now" on my previous comment! 🤔🤯😆
It was your "quick typing fingers" then (like what @savvyplayer started telling you more than a month ago) that caused your comment to miss an I !INDEED. 🤔🤯😅

Yikes, that could have been catastrophic!

It's not like no one can comment on Hive anymore though when #HiveEngage is down (though we !HOPE that it remains accessible all the time). 🤔🧘♂️🤯
Your "quick typing fingers" might cause your hands to become "quick moving hands" !INDEED! 🙌🤯😆😅

Indeed, as there are always multiple ways to do things.
My fingers are already quickly-typing fingers. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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. 🤯🤯😅
!WEIRD !INDEED !HOPE !WINEX
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). 💸🤯🤓
!INDEED !WEIRD !HOPE !WINEX
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. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
