I have another Giveaway idea:
Start a giveaway in which every Bitcointalk account which has earned at least 10 Merit points can claim x MBYTE (exclude accounts with red trust to limit (Merit) abusers).
The value of "x" can be decided by Tony. If x = 10, it may cost 10 GBYTE per month tops (for 1000 users). That's several orders of magnitude cheaper to reach new users than the airdrop to Bitcoin holders. Optionally, x could be higher for highly rated users.
This giveaway can be promoted by signature campaign (I've suggested this before), which could be paid in Blackbytes (to promote usage) from the community fund.
There's more than 300,000 GBYTE left to distribute, this giveaway would cost less than 0.01% of this.
Please share your thoughts on this!
The idea of the airdrop was to get users interested in Byteball and attract new users to Byteball. I was not aware of the lottery on Facebook.
Rewarding accounts with merits might not be helpful in attracting new users. Plus you would have to ask members to claim the give away, by installing a wallet. Too much hassle for $5 worth of a coin.
