Auction results questioned by players
Microsoft Yahei, STHeitiSC-Light, simsun, Times New Roman,Many players questioned NetEase’s sincerity. Not only were the number and types of products available for bidding small, but the large gap between the average exchange value of “black diamonds” and players’ expectations also caused a lot of dissatisfaction.
Some players said that the 40 black diamonds that they worked hard for a month cant even replace the stainless steel basin. Some players said that NetEase Odaily is just using the name of the blockchain to promote NetEase products and collect user privacy. This auction is just a marketing gimmick.
The first batch of players at the beginning of the launch, if they only invite some of their friends and complete the daily check-in tasks, they can save 30 to 50 black diamonds by the day of the auction. If you want to get more black diamonds, you need to spend Mind to participate in more activities.
At present, Odaily Force acquisition is linked to applications such as NetEase Cloud Music, NetEase Classroom, and Geek Wars. During the Spring Festival, Netease Odaily once distributed Force red envelopes.
In addition, some netizens questioned that Odailys official team is suspected of background manipulation of auctions and data falsification.
Some players found that the number of black diamonds originally displayed on the homepage rankings during the auction was hidden, and only the number of original forces was displayed. According to a screenshot of the ranking list on March 22 provided to the author by a Weibo user, including lucky diamonds, the number of black diamonds held by the top ten is only between 74 and 79.
Some players pointed out that the ID of the winner of the auction had never appeared on the leaderboard before.

also,He also denied the possibility of black diamond trading and circulation, and said that this auction is only a user value feedback activity. In the auction, the prices of users using black diamonds to bid for goods are different and random.
Aiming at the problem that the threshold of black diamond in commodity auction is too high, Gu Feiyong said that in the future, we will increase the activity and supply of auction items, so that as many Odaily residents as possible can participate. At the same time, it will continue to innovate the feedback method of Odailys ecological value, and give back value to the black diamond in the hands of residents.
In fact, before the bidding turmoil, Netease Odaily was involved in the controversy of violating user privacy and plagiarizing Gongxinbao in the early stage of its launch. However, compared to NetEase’s other trials in the blockchain field, “NetEase Odaily” can be regarded as a splashy product.
The author will continue to pay attention to the future development of Netease Odaily.
