Another Vanishing Act

Sometimes it is not so obvious to spot.

So another one has vanished and lived up to their name of doing a disappearing act. I just feel sorry for anyone who wasted their time playing magic dice and delegating to them. Life really does suck when you are dealing with crooked people and don't even know it.

Unfortunately we have been duped again as it effects everyone on here even if you weren't part of it. I have never spun the dice once, but I am part of this place and it brings negativity to the Steem name.

There will be others and maybe this wasn't as obvious as Dlive who changed their colors to the site they were moving to. I actually thought that was a bit ballsy and someone should have picked that one up and it is quite funny now. This was different though as they sold the idea of SMT's and users were gathering their tokens.

The good thing is you can undelegate and move on and hope you make a better decision the next time around. It would be great if users that we now on here already launch Dapps as we have a history with them and there is a trust already.

Maybe going forward it would help if that Dapp formed a partnership with other users or a respected member of the community on here so there is some trust. This will happen again and just thinking this could be an idea for another Dapp that was serious about launching on here in the future. This would also open up different opportunities for the more established members on here at the same time.

I think going forward we need to have our eyes wide open and should be looking for any irregularities or strange behavior. I never used that particular Dapp so I couldn't tell you and the users of @magicdice would know better if there was anything strange over the last month or so. We need to learn and not take everything for what it is and look beyond that.

I have read there were some odd things happening. I had already been lowering my delegation a little at a time over the past month or so.

I never used that one either and I guess it's a good thing. That's too bad, it does give the platform a bad rep.
