OK, here's my "problem." For starters I think the Atlas project is a great thing for the Internet, and I thank my local ISP, Comcast (USA), for encouraging me to sign up. But here's the thing for me. I have so many millions of points accumulated. When I see a message on this message list about someone asking for, say 20 million points, by the time I see that message, the requester has already received, typically, more than twice the number of points requested. (and I will say right now, private requests for points will be ignored) So my question becomes... I participate in this amazing project with a measurement device. But I also want to participate in the project by helping others, I guess I am asking, is there a way I can contribute points without having to check the list every hour or so?
Mike, The bad news is, RIPE is in a post-scarcity world. Welcome. 😁 When I joined over a decade ago, I was so happy to see 100k in my account. Now I have 150M+, and this is after giving them out even after I can see that the recipient has reached the target. I normally add a private message saying this 10M is for their next project. I regret to inform you that my attempts to convert these into Delta SkyMiles has been unsuccessful. Or McDonalds Happy Meals. Someone, somewhere, should do something, or I will join Twitter and display my outrage!!!! On Sat, 1 Jun 2024, 10:06 Mike via ripe-atlas, <ripe-atlas@ripe.net> wrote:
