"As I understand it" is not true, but I'm curious whether you heard it from a Lobste.rs principal, or just some echo chamber spinning stories against us.

All the tokens in that late 2018 came from our user growth pool — we never misappropriate any user-bought BAT.

Just to be clear, are you saying that 100% of every BAT token that was pooled for a site has been distributed to the intended site? Or are you saying that only 100% of every BAT token that was purchased directly by an end user has been distributed to the intended site?

Is there a page somewhere with the information on the tokens for each site and their payouts status?

At that time we had no way for users to buy BAT they sent — it was all from our grant pool.

In any event, a creator might not sign or could fail to collect, so those grants came back to us after a 90 day timeout if I recall correctly.
