For those rejected in the airdrop, please keep calm. The good news is that new rules will be implemented. The devs are addressing issues in the application for airdrop.
The following items is what I suggested to a friend who successfully applied for the airdrop. I also already posted these before. So here it is again. These items may not be applicable when the new rules are announced.
1. First, don't click that apply button for airdrop. Yes, you read it right, DON'T click that apply button.
2. Make sure your bitcointalk account was created before Sept. 1 and is qualified according to the rules. (no sleeper accounts, no bad posts in the past, etc.)
3. Download and install the latest deeponion wallet, get the wallet address. Don't use the novaexchange deeponion wallet address.
4. Join the deeponion.org forum. It is mentioned before that this is also a requirement now in joing the airdrop.
5. Read the rules for the airdrop in the deponion.org site, that's the latest one.
6. Based on your rank in bitcointalk, put on the deep onion signature.
7. Make quality posts in bitcointalk and deeponion.org forums. Join the deepornion.org community, participate and contribute in the deep onion forum. Never, never burst post in bitcointalk and deeponion.org forums. 2x to 4x a day is good enough. Did I say to never burst post? Space the timing of your posts accordingly.
8. Do this for 1 week or 10 days.
9. Read the rules again, make sure you understand.
10. Now you're ready, click that apply button for airdrop.
Please take note that the steps above will not guarantee that you'll get accepted in the airdrop. This is just what I read in the deeponion.org forum after I got rejected in my first attempt to apply for the airdrop. My friend used the tips I made and he got accepted in the airdrop.
Let's wait for the new rules, hopefully we can all have a second chance. What I believe is that for those rejected, we have to earn our stripes, we need to prove that we deserve the airdrop.
Yup I made a few of those mistakes when I first started. Didn't understand the involvement needed. Been blacklisted over a month, but have been putting in good time and good posts while creating some content. I feel like I am finally getting close to redemption. If you get discouraged guys just keep supporting and have patience.
Airdrop and then weekend rest.
