Was Blum dodging responsibilities with the $DOGS airdrop

Mining and Staking
1

I’ve seen a lot of people talking about problems with the Blum Dogs airdrop task where you had to invite 5 friends and spend 0.2 TON. This task ended yesterday, August 26, at 12 UTC, right before the airdrop. Blum claimed the TON network was overloaded, which is why they couldn’t handle all the transactions.
It has been 1.5 days since then. They shut down comments in their official channel, and we haven’t heard anything more. The same issue is happening with DOGS transfers on non-custodial wallets.

Are these scams or just delays? The ton chain explorer shows that the number of transactions today is higher than yesterday.

I’ve already received my $DOGS…
so I think it’s just a traffic jam…

I got 4500 dogs… but even so, that feels like a scam.

It’s probably delayed. Their last airdrop went smoothly.

I hope you’re right. But why does the TON team still not process most of the requests for 2 days? Even when Bitcoin had a peak overload in 2018, it didn’t last as long and there was much more volume with transactions being processed quicker, needing at least 3 confirmations from miners.

Dude, remember how it was when noncoin airdropped to us. Telegram and Bybit were a mess. Millions of people were involved, not just a handful, and if they need to check everything manually, it’s going to take a while. Just be patient. Even if you lose that one dollar, it won’t change your life.

@Mckinley
Dude, it’s way more than just 1 dollar. Dogs are locked about 1.5k for me. That’s why I really want to get my money.

So are you talking about the Blum task where we pay 0.2 TON or what?

@Mckinley
Yeah, I used 15 accounts and spent 3 TON on it.

That’s pretty greedy.

Hey, please check your messages.

No, it’s just a delay because TON transactions are failing right now.

It’s just a delay. My friend got the airdrop and received about 42 dollars.

He’s lucky. I’ve only received 1 Blum airdrop out of 15 attempts, and it’s only worth 5 dollars.

Maybe you’re just unlucky.

I’ve got a total of 41k dogs across 15 accounts, and it feels terrible. People are getting 35k per account.

But honestly, I feel like Blum scammed me because I got such a small amount per account.

I think it’s true that there are some heavy transactions on the TON network causing these delays, especially since the DOGS listing just happened.

You guys need to chill. It’s always a scam in your eyes just because you are impatient. What they decide to give away isn’t going to change lives.
