I had a brief conversation on Discord with the dev about the airdrop after spelunking through the data myself. It's clear from the spreadsheet at least one person attempted to register multiple accounts (49 to be exact) with full bitcointalk status in order to secure a largeish bag of coins. There was also a longtail of single accounts with very similar comment strings, and about a dozen double dippers (2 accounts / 1 wallet address). Basically a few people are assholes, which is why the rest of us can't have nice free things. My account was also filtered from the airdrop, not sure the reason, really could care less about the 2 coins, which is about 2 hours worth of mining.
Love the basic elements of this project- GPU mineable, asic resistent (not proof), PoW + PoS and masternodes.
However, in order to flourish, it's going to need better organization and people to do basic block and tackle work on community to give it more credibility. There are just too many other altcoins with most of these same elements in place (on the tech side), with better structure on the community side. People need to be coddled to some degree in order to feel confident they're not just throwing hashpower down the drain, or participating in another ICO dump and run coin. Dev should enlist the help of a few people that are good at this, but you need to do it rather quickly before other altcoins beat you up and steal your lunch money.
