RE: Proposal to make HBD interest payable only to savings accounts

in Hive Improvement4 years ago (edited)

I'm in favor for HF25. Although it is a late change I consider the impact of the change very low since it is just disabling something that is already there (paying interest on liquid). That being said I do still support the proposed effort and potential small schedule delay to implement additional tests and review. While this change is likely to be relatively simple and low risk, I wouldn't be surprised (and it wouldn't be the first time) if some existing flaws or gotchas were uncovered in existing code that hasn't been worked on in years.

Yes, we already found that interest is paid a bit differently than one would intuitively expect. When I first proposed this to our devs yesterday, one immediately asked if the change would include rationalizing the interest payment method more, but of course I had to disappoint him, as there would be too much work involved.
