I have been watching DeepOnion too, and also following it on deep onion.org. It looks to me like the members who are "In" the airdrop try especially hard to not let anyone else in, in order to not share the spoils of their making.
This might be fine, but I think the shortsighted way they are going about this will have a very negative longer term impact on the project as a whole. Not only will there be more limited distribution but there will be a long tail of people who will snipe and badmouth the project every step of the way.
Just my opinion from reading the posts - which by the way is a pay because the project itself could go places if greed wasn't so obvious.
This absolutely not true, everyone can attest to the fact that we try and help each and everyone have a successful entry to the DeepOnion airdrop, there are tons of articles, tutorials that basically cover everything from joining the airdrop to our most recent feature DeepVault. I would really like you to post in the official forum so we can see how we can assist in what you have an issue with.
On the contrary all members are as friendly as can be, there is no benefit to do what you assuming is happening. We need the coin to reach as many hands as possible but in a controlled way not to repeat previous events where we had up to 9 accounts linked to one member.
