Hamster Kombat: Disgruntled users lament receiving ‘peanuts’

#Hamster is trending wildly on X [formerly Twitter]!

This is because, in a shocking turn of events, the much-anticipated airdrop from crypto-mining app, Hamster Kombat, which had been trending for months, has left thousands of Nigerians in uproar.

After five long months of continuous tapping to earn rewards, users expected substantial payouts promised by the coin’s promoters—some dreaming of becoming millionaires.

However, as the coin finally launched on Thursday [today], the reality hit hard: instead of the massive financial rewards users had been led to believe, payouts ranged from a mere $1 to $4.

Unconfirmed reports about the highest earner so far ranged from $7 to $17.

Social media is ablaze with frustrations, as disgruntled users lament receiving as little as ₦2.75 for their efforts.

The campaign, which had promised to turn everyday Nigerian into billionaires and CEOs, has, instead, sparked widespread disappointment and anger.

Nigerians have since taken to various platforms to express their outrage, accusing Hamster Coin of misleading them.

The once-hopeful community of tappers is now engulfed with tears and wailing, as what was supposed to be a life-changing opportunity has turned into a bitter letdown.

Hamster Kombat came to life in March 2024.

On Thursday afternoon, the official X account, @hamster_kombat, announced the coin’s long-awaited launch.

It read, “THE MOMENT IS HERE, $HMSTR trading has official begun! Congratulations, and to the moon, CEOs. On-chain is on. On-chain direct claim and balance withdrawal options are open. You can now transfer your tokens anywhere!”

In a bizarre twist, Hamster responded to the dusted CEO’s with a tweet that met with more angry reactions:

Again, see the reactions:

The initial post has since garnered over one million views and over 15,000 comments.
