No one knows for sure when the distribution was done, you can see that the campaign has not been calculated by Irfan at all, so I think it will be done after the ICO is over ..

my god. The article submissions are nearing 500...
and nearly every single article i click on through the spreadsheet, especially the Steemit posts, are in foreign language.
Or, a freshly made Reputation 25 user with 0 views/ 0 comments / 0 upvotes...

For a typical campaign that gets maybe 15 real users making a legitimate 75 - 100 articles, I can't believe the vast amount of submissions to this particular article campaign. It's literally Unreal.
Some users are using the same article across multiple sites where they get a combined 5 views, and then submit it 5 separate times to the bounty.
For the majority though, It's a spam article bot. They take full paragraphs from the Announcement or whitepaper and change a few key words, jumble up the sentences, and then google translate it into a foreign language...
Which from my experience with other campaigns - A large portion get overlooked and rewarded

My guess, this campaign has maybe 100 legitimate articles.... that's because there simply isn't a 100 articles written in English, and I'd consider at least a few foreign articles to be legitimate.

I speak up because I am involved in the articles campaign since basically the first announcement on BitcoinTalk and have really noticed the exponentially unrealistic increase in submissions that have obliterated my potential stake
