1. I disagree, I like this idea as it will promote buying the coin which will (in some way) counter balance the new rule (you failed to mention) that it is
(...)
Cut the emotional crap man, no one believes this. (...)
I don't forgot to quote the other rules. Everybody knows where to find them. And let me explain, what for people like you emotional crap is:
When DO and the airdrop started, we - the community - have been extremely happy about it, that some of the members came from poor countries, where 100$ are an extreme huge amount of money, because these people had the possibilty to earn more money in an easy and relaxed way, than they (maybe) hoped. For some people a dream became true. The dev himself told, that he is also living in a poor country. And without hope for a job, without hope for an economic save live. This was the reason, why he started DO. And this was the intention of the project: To develop a coin, spread it over the people and earn money together. To develop an untraceable coin to free us from control.
Now, with the new rules, above all this point:
(4) Distribution will be based on the ONIONs you have in your account, you must have at least 100 ONIONs to qualify.... DO excludes every poor person on this planet from applying to the airdrop (or degrades them to supplicants). Because for some people in some countries, 60-100$ are an amount, which they can't afford and at least an amount, which they can't risk. So to say, that the dev and the community have become elitist, is not true?
It is exactly true!
They forgot their roots!
And if pointing this out is emotional crap for you and the community, shows, how far this wrong turn of DO progressed.
By the way:
Funny, that the intention to create
garantueed anonymity created a system of total control. The dev x-rays the members and the members keeping themselfs under surveillance...
Well I appreciate your explanation.
I do think though if the rules hadn't changed overtime (by delaying the app date) then many of the poorer members would not have been able to join and receive the airdrop (and many did as a result)...... and these guys will be better off now under the new rules....Also, regarding late comers, yeah I get that, but I was too late for NEM and many other projects and had to accept my fate. The thing is though, with DO, there is many ways to reach the 100 onions required other than buying. In fact these guys have a better chance now to get in than they did before, and if they manage to get 100 then they are guaranteed to get at least 10 every week from the airdrop, thats 5-10$ which is a good amount for these "poor" new comers......and most importantly, now they can spend it each week or hodl it. Surely thats better?
I have given away over 600 onions... now the 90% rule is relaxed I can do even more, and many of the poorer members or members who dont have many onions (my comps are targeted towards these guys) can join in the fun.
I suppose in the end its how you look at it, but I thinks the changes are beneficial not for me but the community as a whole.
regarding your last point about anonymity, this is only the case during the airdrop period while handing out free coins, after which the dev isn't gunna give a shit about such things as who is getting what...
