Description
Lost 9400 BTS by funding the fee pool for BTS, owner null account and nobody can refund, even the committee for Bitshares.
My reasoning: I see UI interface where I can fund a fee pool for BTS, i had BTS, i know Bitshares is a dex and heard about staking and liquidity providing. "So, if I can fund the fee, then it may mean I can claim them later? got it." and REKT. The fund option is there, the claim option is right there, and "anyone can fund the pool". So I fund it and it's lost for good. In other words, there is an owner of the pool but nobody (no human) can claim the pool but there is UI feature that offers to "claim". While there is no human that could.
This may happen in the future that someone will be misled by this and lose money as I did. Don't let them get burnt like me, put some wording that it is not for users or remove the misleading options.




Contributor guide
Research direction
Start from the fee-pool funding and claim controls shown in the attached screenshots, and trace where these user-facing options are defined. Determine how the interface distinguishes asset administration from regular user actions. Done should make the pool's non-refundable ownership clear or remove misleading user-facing options.
