What is immoral is the byteball dev clearly wants you to sign an address from your bitcoin address, not have other people sign their addresses.

I think he wants me to sign and others to sign. I think he wants as many people as possible to sign. But I'm just guessing. I would be surprised if he only wanted me to sign however.

It makes their distribution model broken just like how people complain the Chinese took over bitcoin mining.

So now you're claiming that it's immoral for Chinese people to mine Bitcoin? Let's try to keep racism out of it shall we? I really don't see how it matters what nationality you are when you're claiming bytes or mining Bitcoins.

I don't care about him telling people about byteball, helping them claim it, or charging a fee.

So it wasn't any of the three things I guessed. It was a forth thing: it is immoral to help people claim their bytes because of some unstated desire of Tony's about who should sign the messages? He is clearly OK with people claiming through their Bitcoin exchanges. He has said so himself. Some exchanges claim their bytes for the BTC they hold and pass it on to their clients after taking a fee. So if your only objection is that Tony wouldn't like it I'm not sure it's valid.

Also, we know he wasn't doing this to help th claim it. It wasn't a service he was offering, it was a way for him to make money.

Very few service providers provide their service exclusively to help people. Do you think McDonalds sell burgers because they want to help you not be hungry? I suspect that their main motivation is profit based. What about your ISP? Do they have a deep desire to help you watch cat videos online? Or are they more interested in turning a profit? Of course it's reasonable to charge a fee when you provide a service. That doesn't mean you're not helping people, and it also doesn't mean that helping people is your main motivation. I don't have a problem with that.

It's immoral in regards to the byteball distribution model and indirectly everyone's byteball is now worth just a little bit less.

That would be the case whether they claimed directly or by using his service. By this definition maybe the most moral thing to do would be to DDoS the transition bot so that nobody else could claim. Then you would maximize your share. Is that how morality works?

Also, did they know their addresses could never be used in byteball airdrops in the future? Who knows.

Linked addresses work in every airdrop. You don't need to relink them. Also you're free to move your coins to a new address if you want to link it with a different byteball wallet.
