I was wondering if it's hard to program a script that airdrops coins based on how much one has in it's wallet.
Frontiers list could be used to pull the % to distribute to each wallet; and we could have DAILY airdrops, following the inflactionary scheme that is already in use for the faucet.
It would be an incentive for people to hold their coins like in POS; and exchanges that usually gather lot of coins from their users, would get an advantage listing Raiblocks as they get a lot of XRB daily.
Therefore would be easyer for us to get on bigger exchanges.
While this might be a really cool idea, it would put a lot of stress on the network and the server that handles transactions.
BUT, you could set a threshold that only accounts with >N (e.g N = 10000 XRB) get a daily payment.
Maybe you could make a weekly payment, so fewer tx would be needed.
With this solution,
- holding would be incentivised until distribution is over.
- buying more coins would be rewarded
- but it would also favour the "rich are getting richer" scheme...
Well, if the newtork is stressed for a few thousand transaction/day added by this hypotetical airdrop, then it means raiblocks is not good for a production environment.
But I think it is, and that those extra transaction won't be a problem!
As for the rich getting richer... well, POS works the same way but still widely used.
