Yes I was disappointed too. Still not sure who the other two are. It was speculated that it could be someone who is not that active but is zapping huge amounts of sats.

I see the hacker news bot is in the top 20. Do you think oracle could be in the top 3.

You would think so but the hacker news bot isn't so who knows.

@ek is @oracle excluded from competing in MSM?
