Now that the new distribution methods are ready and proven, and we've added even more methods than originally planned, the March airdrop is cancelled. November airdrop was the last one that paid to holders in proportion to their balances.
This is the list of the current distribution methods (in no particular order) that we'll continue to use and improve:
1. Cashback.
2. Verification rewards and referral rewards to those who verify their real name. It is true that the referral system didn't work quite well for new users who have no Bytes yet, and we are going to introduce a new scheme which will allow to refer new users without sending them any Bytes.
3. Giveaways, such as those that Rafael does to his youtube subscribers.
4. Mass sending of textcoins to subscribers of our partners. We have done two so far

IMO this is very bad news. None of these methods are "proven" as you say, and they are all far more opaque than distributing to addresses with balances that can be checked on the networks.
How many dollar-equivalents have been spent in the cashback program so far? What's there been like 50 people send their passport to Juobi or whatever now? Youtube crypto scam videos? Really?
There are still 40% of coins to distribute, and now they are basically completely able to be distributed by shady backroom deals or not at all. There is no way to validate distribution beyond this point. So long and thanks for all the fish.
Of course this is a terrible idea.
Tony does not seem to realise promising things then not doing them is a great way to destroy any trust in the project.
Best thing to bring some real investors here is burn the rest of the tokens
I do actually believe tony is distributing as claimed but even so it will take forever and meantime real savvy investors wont touch this project whilst 40 % are in the hands of one person who does not listen to the community at all and does what he wants when he wants.
burn the coins and stop begging and paying people to use it.
Still cant put any of my own real funds into a project where the captain gives most of it away to other ico managers willingly ... certainly not whilst that person has another 40% to commit financial suicide with.
Burn it all so I know this is the limit of the damage that can be done on a whim with no community consult.
set up a poll on here so we can vote on what to do this has gone of for far too long now.
