I might have another solution to the giveaway, depending on if the dev team likes it and how quickly we can put together the coins.
Prypto has a new "product" out as of a couple weeks ago - digital-only QR redemption codes. I put "product" in quotes because really these are just the scratchcards without the physical card. Prypto puts together the wallets and then sends you back links to where they can be redeemed.
Here's a link to a sample code they released on Twitter. There's no way we could get physical cards designed, printed and shipped to the team by.. what, Friday?.... but if we act quickly we could probably get the codes put together in time. (I think. I'll talk to HQ this morning about it.) The codes can be emailed, PM'd, Twitter'd, Instagram'd, whatever to the person whom coins need to go to AND they'll be held securely indefinitely until the recipient can get hands on a wallet.
The codes have a minimum order size of 1000(!) which is admittedly a lot, but it will keep the dev team in handouts for a long time to come and, given more lead time on later conventions, they can print the codes directly on other DGB promotional material if desired. Codes can be set to contain any amount of coin you wish - for this I would recommend 200 DGB each, like the DOGE tip cards. Cost would then be as shown below (set for DOGE because it was faster to show, but the numbers remain the same).
Note that "Reseller Rate" is NOT a cut for me. Prypto's profit per card/code order is a percentage of cost based on how much any given reseller orders per 90-day period. I would not take a profit for helping with this particular order and am willing to pitch in both DGB and BTC to the effort.
Looks really good and easy to handle.
If Digibyte is fine with this and have the funds to go with it i really think this is a good option.
Willing to send 75.000 dgb (if needed more) and some btc to get this started.
Edit:
Maybe we need to organize this better @ the b2b in brussels,with the prypto cards.
And for now just gather some DGB and go with "plan A" the easy way i mentioned before.
When there is some reall "investment" to be made, better do it good and give people something they can hold. (a prypto card)
