Recently, I've noticed that CVn seems to randomly/unpredictably forget the address I've specified for rewards, after a few days. It even happens while I'm actively watching and completing those pesky CAPTCHAs that are one of the banes of my existence...

Quite frankly, I'm not sure that I do, any more (and I do know why). Given that Simon (the site's owner and lead developer) has stopped responding to messages and mentions, as well as stopped posting about the progress and ETAs of further development...
