Missed again!
I haven't come across you in years. I am amazed you are not locked up in the looney bin by now...
My post was not directed at you.. I'm not going to waste my time figuring out what you're talking about. I just took note of the general discourse and thought I'd voice my generalized opinion on the current topic.
Funny! You're amazed that I'm not locked up in a looney bin by now, then go on as to how your post is not directed at me when it's my findings which you're referencing whether toward me or not. Hey, maybe some day will share the same cell whereupon we'll both drop our e's and play loony together.
BTW, are you Traxx187?

I am supposed to be getting some airdrop coins and I only registered for one account, and I joined the Decred forums. So, the developers could only possibly be 4999 of the possible participants in the air drop. 
Yes, the airdrop can be gamed, but the Decred developers did the best they could of policing it. The link I submitted in the original submission form was broken, and they replied back asking me for the correct link. At the very least they visited the links to make sure they were not broken. It wouldn't of taken too much more time to take a quick glance of the account.
Yes, this does not fully combat Sybil, but I don't think it's a huge deal. NEM was distributed similarly and has a market capitalization above 4 million USD. Complaining will not change how this goes down.. the developers seem to have made up their mind as to how the original distribution will happen. So, I suggest everyone simply chill out.. unless you are not a participant in the airdrop and complaining, because then I question your intentions.

Miss the point much?
I could care less who gets, and how much free money due to the doling out of an airdrop, nor of the unscrupulous folks who managed to game the system a bit OR A LOT.

Somebody explain it to him. I suggest slowly.

No, I didn't miss the point. The simple fact is there are a few people on here complaining because maybe some folks got more than they did and that's unfair. I'm sorry if it hurts anyone's frail sensibilities, but it is simply immature to complain that maybe somebody else got more free than they did. Besides, even if we assume you're right and the process got scammed "A LOT", what purpose does it serve to get upset about it? For anyone that was never expecting more than 168 coins, absolutely nothing changed for them. Anyone expecting more than that is just setting themselves up for disappointment. If it ends up being more, sweet, if it doesn't, it's what you already expected.

It would mean that the dishonest people (those who have gamed the system) will be unfairly benefited, receiving 3x, 4x, 5x, n times the amount the "honest users" will receive.... that would be a bad start for a cryptocurrency: rewarding dishonest people to the detriment of the honest ones :/
I understand that, but really it's looking at it in the wrong light. If you are only planning on getting 168 coins, which is the prudent thing to do, then anything more than that is just gravy. Why not just be grateful for an extremely generous gift and getting in on the ground floor of a coin that appears to have a bright future instead of worrying about other people? It should come as no surprise that there are scumbags out there. I don't mean this as a personal attack, but anybody seriously getting upset about receiving free coins because maybe some unscrupulous folks managed to game the system a bit seriously screams of an immature child whining "moooooooom, it's not fair Jimmy next door got two scoops of ice cream while I only got one". Be happy you're eating ice cream while there are large populations of people that are starving.
Something else to consider is that even if some folks managed to scam and get some additional coins, it just means they're probably going to sell them as soon as they can and those of us who plan on holding can improve our positions on the cheap.

Somebody please explain it to him so that I don't accidentally resort to using dirty words on this thread.

blah blah blah im lost the airdrop blah blah
blah blah i feel envy blah blah
blah
the official forum already has more then 1000 members.
There is a decred's facebook group with around 350 investors just in my country, most of them participated in airdrop and few are bctalk members or official forum members.
No one of us will sell our coins from airdrop. We will buy more
I have never been on facebook. From what you say it seems fb may have a bigger crypto scene than bct
Is your country small, medium or large?
medium

I'm more curious why it would even matter if it were true. As a thought experiment, let's assume for a moment that everything you say were to actually happen. Also, let's assume that all of the remaining 5,000 spots minus all of the people that have publicly posted they were accepted into the airdrop were filled by nothing but successful scammers, devs, and little magical fairies. In that scenario, everyone that managed to get in still receives 168 coins for FREE. Anything less than 5,000 spots means the participants get even more than that. Nobody was asked for or paid any money. This really seems like complaining about receiving free money to me.

Such is life even in the crypto world...
