1º What is the time and how will the reward to MasterNode of 25k in the BSD?
Here is the picture that shows how much BSD you are to get with a masternode depending on the total amount of active masternodes:

2º Darksend and InstantX are already active/functioning perfectly?
Both are active and should be functioning properly. In case that something is wrong, report it to us privately via Slack or on the Github repository.
3º Is there any upcoming update planned for BSD? What? Is there an approximate date?
The next update for BSD is: Bitcoin Core 0.14.0 code base + Segwit. We can't give out an approximate date for this yet as making masternodes compatible with Segregated Witness seems to be an extremely difficult task that nobody has accomplished yet (at least not that I'm aware of). The remaining features of said codebase have been ported into Bitsend already (i.e. the masternode is the only remaining one). There should also be an update to the website soon.
4º Is there any other BSD channel or forum besides this one?
There are three main sources of communication:
1) The official BitSend forum:
http://bitsend.info/forums/index.php2) The BitSend Slack team:
https://bitsend.slack.com/messages2.1) Invite to Slack:
https://bitsend.herokuapp.com/3) There are also a few Telegram groups depending on your language (look at the first post of this thread).
5º Where can I get more information about BSD?
The answer to this question is the same as above, in addition to some links:
1) The official BitSend website:
http://www.bitsend.info/2) Cryptosmile:
http://www.cryptosmile.com/2017/03/all-you-need-to-know-about-bitsend.htmlWhat is the rationale for limiting the airdrop to Senior Members or above on Bitcointalk? Such a limitation seems to be at odds with the rationale of an airdrop (widespread dissemination to encourage adoption).
This was my decision. I pushed towards stronger rules for the Airdrop to prevent abuse and farming. You have to be an active member of Bitcointalk for less than 1 year in order to qualify with a
Senior Member rank. You are also eligible for rewards via the list of supporters depending on if and how exactly you contribute to BitSend.
