Topic: [ANN][Main] Bitcore- BTX - Datacarriersize up to 220 bytes - page 981. (Read 730297 times)

I am not sure how the airdrop system works, I was just having a look but I strongly suggest to give a reward depending on the amount of coins people own, that's the only way of creating a buy pressure at this point.

Try a system similar to Byteball, the most successful distribution we've seen so far.

You realize 2.5%/week is quite more than 10%/month? 2,5%/week is the same as ~10,38%/4weeks

Hi,
Did the latest Airdrop start?

I think that is a rather awful solution. You are just excluding newbies for no reason whatsoever, just because they are what not active on a forum? That is so arbitrary. But hey atleast you are trying, thats a postive here. I personally think the 2.5% is a great solution as it dissuades you from wanting to make multiple accounts, and only gives out a little bit of BTX (so only loyal people will play). It may not be perfect but it is certainly better than being able to spilt multiple accounts and get 10 BTX per wallet address. Lets see how this one goes!

I saw that too, but I would like to know the exact block.

Not really, if its a small % increase.  If it was large it may be worth it.

There is no incentive to stack them either. If a whale has 20 addresses already in Top 1000 why stack them?

Might as well keep them like this and stop other people from getting the airdrop.

A slight increase in percentage for higher balances solves that

there is no need to give bigger addresses more %
because there is no incentive to split coins there will be no competition to enter the top 1000

Alternative solution:

Let every bitcointalk forum member with a rank higher than "Member" provide one airdrop address, and then "airdrop" 10 BTX to that address. (We will anyway not get more than 1000 user by this forum, so the airdrop should be smaller but fairer) This way you can more or less assure a fair distribution without concentration to whales.

Edit: The criteria could also be, that only an address with atleast 1 BTX coin inside is eligible for the airdrop, thus you can be sure that the person contributed to the coin either by

well, normally I would agree, but if there is no incentive, ppl tend to act weired. It's not only about getting coins.
But if you can prevent others to get coins as well, your coins might be worth more. At least you get more control.

I would have no problem to give the big holders and investors a little more, as long as it makes it fair for everyone, I'm ok with that.
And yes, I did receive my coins this time. It's just not good a healthy for a coin to have most coins concentrated in the hands of a few.
Especially when an airdrop is meant to spread the coins.

For the airdrop, are the BTC address that you sign are they displayed publicly somewhere and just internally for BTX devs?

In my opinion, the only 'fair' solution (if you really want to stick to that 1000 top holders thing) would be to have some kind of a variable percentage paid to the top 1000.
For example (don't nail me down on the numbers, just an example):

Top 1-100 gets 3%
Top 101-201 gets 2.9%
Top 301-401 gets 2.8%
...

That way you would force ppl to stack their coins in one address to get the highest possible reward, leaving room for other ppl to join the Top 1000. Of course some extremely rich a$$hole could still split his coins, just to pi$$ off ppl, but that would be just idiotic...

hashrate is dropping like a stone. From over 17GH/s to now around 5.6GH/s. Since the diff is over 730 and difficulty recalculation only happens every 2000 blocks or so, block times are very high now.
This also leads to way less coins miners can earn, and most likely more will stop mining, meaning the block times will rise even higher.
I bet big miners will join back in when the difficulty has been adjusted again.

As for the airdrops: Sorry, but this round was a complete joke. Even worse than the first one.
Again, it was highly abused, and seeing at least two wallets with over 100 addresses in the top 1000 clearly shows that the airdrops are gamed by a few.
Most coins in the hands of a few makes the possibility of a dump much higher...
