RUNE is interesting but possibly with services like Rubic and Multichain people feel like they can get a lot of the benefits they would have with Thorchain through other mechanisms.
Speaking of the bridging. I tried two small tests to take bHBD back to HBD through the bridge and it acted like it completed but the small tests didn't how up back in my Hive wallet. Are there any issues going on with the bridge right now?
