so uh could you please either actually make a formal accusation of something or say that you don't endorse this post?
I'm a bit confused what he's trying to get at here.
And I'm a bit confused why you would endorse what he's saying; you're smarter than that.

Just to clarify Scott's tweet, to hopefully mitigate any *additional* unsavoriness, it was implying that the Serum team forgot to turn on the bots after Solana came back up, and it wasn't until they saw Scott's tweet that they were reminded to turn them back on (hence the 6 mins)

I think that's not what he meant.
For one thing, he could have noticed the orderbook had orders out.
He's looking at trades, not orders.
He's making a much more serious and also untrue accusation, I think, or at least heavily implying it.

Yeah, I dunno. All I know is that it was a confusing joke. TBC, still offensive to Serum, but potentially not as bad as you might be thinking (or maybe yes! I honestly have no idea.)

Heh so Scott and I have some history here, my completely honest guess here is that it was meant as the more strong and offensive version and I feel pretty strongly about that; I'm not sure what Hayden interpreted it as though!

Gloating about consensus failures is usually not a great look

I must be thick... what’s the more unsavory version of the accusation? This is the only interpretation I can think of

weird ok maybe I'm wrong then!
I was interpreting it as him implying that the volume was self-trading/wash trading/something like that
That is my strong impression from "real customer orders that are definitely not a bot"
But maybe I'm wrong!

He is implying that it's wash trading. "Forgot to turn on the bots" = forgot to resume wash trading (and also implying that it was resumed 6 minutes later because serum team noticed his post)

(yeah ok so I'm pretty sure I'm not wrong about what he was implying, but given that many others didn't interpret it that way maybe it would have been best just to let it slide :P)
oh, thats how i interpreted it to be fair, but i didnt think that was a big deal or anything in particular (like its still real volume / trades)

Yeah same. Bots for bootstrapping liquidity isn’t really an aggressive accusation. He’s saying there aren’t any users, not that there’s some sort of criminal fraud happening.
