Well this project turned out to be a total scam. Someone please tell Dom to vet these things a little bit before he tweets something, otherwise a bunch of people lose money because we think this has people from the foundation familiar with it.
What makes it a scam? 
dev just ghosts the project in under a month, no open source code, no way to improve/upgrade
I feel like a sucker listening to Dominic and others in the community who hyped this turd
do you need icp to move bob into icswap? it keeps telling me i have no balance but i have $2.14 of icp?
Ahahah. Welcome to the club. I feel that way for more than 3 years now.
No use to comment any further.
Still wait for the huge announcement, scheduled to be 1 month ago or so, and that will revolutionize IC although I know this announcement will never happen.

I have been mining for 2 days and spent 10 ICP but there is no sign of getting BOB, I don’t understand how it works, I see that there is 1 block printed every 7 minutes but it does not reflect the total number of blocks that have been mined
BOB is a lottery. More Cycles working for you, the greater chance. Just like buying a lottery.
You are participating in a race to solve a math problem. If you do, you get rewarded. But it is not the strength of your computational power at home, it is how much ICP you wanna play with. I see it as a lottery you win or lose.

BOB is a show case. Play with it for fun. But I guess it shows that anyone can start a blockchain mining project. Say a celebrity who wants to not only sell tokens to fans, but invite them to build the wealth with her/him. So there is no release all the token and rug pull like Hawk Tua recently, you as an early miner takes part of the tokens growth. Otherwise I don’t see a use for it. But Dom has Im sure.

Is there a bob index canister ID?
Hello together, I imported my BOB tokens into the NNS. Now i wanted to add the BOB Index Canister ID so that i can see the transaction history on the nns.
Problem: The BOB Canister ID (provided on bob.fun) creates an Error Message on the NNS.
„An error occurred while validating the index canister ID. It appears that 6lnhz-oaaaa-aaaas-aabkq-cai might not be a valid index canister ID. Call failed: Canister: 6lnhz-oaaaa-aaaas-aabkq-cai Method: ledger_id (update) “Request ID”:
My hypothesis is, that either the provided ID is not the index canister id, or maybe there is an functional error on NNS side regarding cid’s of imported tokens? Any ideas?
I have a few questions about BOB. Why there are 2 or 3 miners that win new blocks all the time? Sometimes two in a row. Can someone explain how this works?
I started my miner three days ago and won a block after 24 hours, great. I understand that this is like a lottery, yes. But if this is like a lottery, then why the same 2 or 3 addresses win 3/4 blocks per hour?
If I change the speed of my miners… The fuel goes down, the miner is live, but it seems the counter for cycles burned doesn’t increase. How is this? Last day I had a minner burning 40T cycles per day, yet the total burned in the last round was stuck in 80 billion. I don’t get it.
And for last, when you click in Live the app asks if you want to upgrade minner to latest version. What that does mean? Apparently it resets the speed but nothing else. Doing this the work done is also reseted?

Here is the open-source code for BoB!
I’d look at both folders Miner and Minter, main and lib files…
