At the moment the things you know are . since the release in october of 2015, when rewards were 1000 mrai per click with no real delay in claiming so couold be done constantly and they have yet to claim or hoard huge amounts, considering that about 1 month ago there was only 6-7 million distributed in total and now that more people are finally seeing it , distribution has grown exponentially . yet check the blockchain and you wont see a secret hoard of coins, they might hold some and gained them exactly the same way as everyone else has been able to get.
He has worked pretty much 2 years solidly on this project, which crypto currencies do you know that put in sooooo much hard work to create a project while purposely not hyping it until it is ready , working day and night to create his ideas.
He has gone to extreme effort to have multiple safety measures in place to prevent the controling of the main pot, the one distribution to the faucet and is hoping to further decentralized that method as more users begin to adopt .
I would also be curious on technical details/information on the abilities to scale and still maintain the same performance and instant transactions , i think it has been mentioned previously in other pages of this thread thou .
If you want to test it thou, we can try and arrange 10-20 of us to start spamming the network sending microtransactions of 1 coin to each other as many as possible as quickly as possible to see how it handles
Again - just because it hasn't happened, it doesn't mean it won't happen. They could get hacked too. They could be coerced into distributing it secretly to smaller accounts. The bottom line is from purely technical perspective the distribution is centralized. I actually would've been happier if they did take a % upfront for development and stated that clearly. It still begs the question - how would development for this project be funded. I believe this project could grow a lot if it has access to funding.
I did try some transactions between my own accounts, and it gets backlogged pretty quickly. It also requires a lot of proof of work for the transactions to be processed. So it's not entirely "free". But it is also reasonable. I can see a place for it where it is installed on various web servers as a service that the website could query to decide whether to serve ads. In fact an ad service may be a really good use case, where sites could put a placeholder and as soon as someone pays to the placeholder - the site automatically starts serving ads.
Still distribution raises some questions, as it doesn't clearly state the motivation of the developers. It is impressive what they've got done, yet it is strange that they don't seem to have a plan to profit from it. Investors for some reason like greedy developers, go figure.
I don't know the exact location of this but the developer has mentioned the security involved in the securing of faucet funds and the address sending the funds and all the measures that are gone thru to prevent anyone being able to coerce or hack into the system, and the intention to make this system more decentralized.
Just because satoshi hasn't moved any of his coins, doesn't mean he wont and crash the market
or the other 20-30% of coins that haven't been touched from the first 3 years of mining
We could create a story of a NSA agent under cover of his bosses somehow gaining access to multiple computers to destroy the currency and steal all the funds from he address and it "could" happen , there is nothing stopping it from being able to happen . But it most likely wont
The developer has given details on how he has secured the coins , he has shown that without any funding or want for money off of people to work his ass off for 2 years straight to create this coin . He has done more than 90%+ of coin dev's , is there a risk of something bad happening? Yes just like every single thing in the known universe , but he has put in security measures that put 90% of other coin dev's actions to shame .
The backlog could of been your own computer and i agree i would like to hear more details on scale-ability while not losing transaction speed.
A faucet distribution , a method of distribution coins that any body with a computer or even some phones can use, literally the least restrictive method of distribution something, (no one without an electrical device isn't gonna have any use for a crypto currency so no computer you wouldn't even be able to use it) so any person who can use it and owns and computer can get some coins for little effort.
This spreads the coin to a maximum amount of people while not creating huge restrictions into how can get the coin , everyone is pretty much even together in this , doesn't matter if you have a crappy computer or a high end gaming computer , you claim coins at exactly the same rate and equal.
This is a coin designed and would mostly benefit microtransactions, the more people who own the coin, the easier it is to get that coin adopted , if you have 100,000 people able to get some of this coin , and determine common interests that large %'s of that group like to do , it is much easy to get companies and websites and anybody else to adopt it and give it it's use case
