Hmmm I am alwasy sceptical about somethign being free...it loses it's value if it is free
There are so many people who just dumps the coins after the 1st airdrop just because they see easy money
as you may be aware of the new e-Coins such as (eBTC, eLTC etc.) they doesn't have a real product
whereas DeepOnion has many features (e.g. DeepVault, I'm too bored to name them

) but one of the most important factors is
the community if you look on the forum you will see why we (at least me) believe in this coin and why it's price will grow to the sky.

I totally agree with your post, I just want to commend the devs for making a rule that is beneficial for all of us here.
This is free but we are doing our best to support the project, I know as much as we are thankful to the dev they are also thankful to us because we keep supporting deeponion which makes it more popular now. They are transparent with their road map and in fact they are following it so it makes us more happy and excited holding our onions.
