OK let's work with a few key points:
- The beneficiary cannot happen (blockchain rules that can't be broken) unless when you post that post you had that beneficiary listed in the post you sent to the blockchain. So therefore we can safely assume it was there... Therefore the question is... How did it get there?
The c/hivediy community requires a 2% one but you didn't post there. You posted in another community that doesn't require a beneficiary to @hivediy ... i assume i understand this correctly right?
To me the first thing that comes to mind (I was not there of course) is that it's a high likelihood that
- You worked on a post inside that diy community (sometimes we just start our posts in random places OR we start a post with one idea and delete it all and start writing a different post for a different community) and then switched the community target location but the beneficiary was already set and you didn't decide to change it.
- I don't remember if templates cary the beneficiary we could test that or maybe @asgarth can answer it much faster than the test.
That's my start of brainstorming hope it helps. I feel like you're more curious than unhappy... but just in case i gave a big upvote also because it was an interesting subject to think about. thanks for the shoutout
Hey @jarvie,
Thanks for the quick response, I appreciate it.
I think it's possible that I started writing it in the HiveDIY community, I surely can't rule it out because it happens a lot that I select a community, create a draft and edited a few times.
This draft was there for several days, so forgive me for not being sure where I started it at the time. But I surely can't rule out that I started in HiveDIY seeing it's a DIY/craft post.
To me, at least for my post, this would be the most likely explanation, especially considering the fact that you mentioned "blockchain rules can't be broken" (good to know, haha) because I surely don't have the knowledge to rule out these things..
I also wanted to make sure no new things were implemented without me knowing about it, as I surely couldn't rule out the fact that I may have missed some stuff here and there..
In terms of templates, I don't use them anymore so this would not explain my post, but I'm curious about @hetty-rowan's post, wondering if she also possibly started a draft in the community and changed it later.
And you're right, I mean what's done is done, I didn't expect to see this 2% back now but I am curious to know what caused it so I can take this in account into account in the future. To be honest, I have started drafts in other communities tons of times, to change it later, never has it occured to me that a beneficiary could stick in that content (so the speak) so that's a good lesson to check before hitting publish!
Thanks for your quick brainstorming, it seems that this is most likely the answer I was looking for.
And thanks for the vote :)
thanks for the response/recap
Well, thank you for helping me find answers quickly. I really didn't understand but as I said, it makes total sense that this is the reason.
Learning every day :)
Hey @jarvie, that could be an explanation maybe, but for me, it's not the answer I was hoping for because I am 100% sure I didn't start writing my post in the hivediy community. Unlike many others, I usually start writing a post without choosing a community. When I have my post ready I choose the community from my list of communities in peaked. So I appreciate your thoughts, but this is not the case for me.
