However this great work of his is getting killed by his not so great idealistic distributional model.
Disagree completely. If it wasn't for the airdrop, I would likely never have heard of the project.
What are you disagreeing with exactly?
There still would have been an airdrop right? just not the whales shares auto going to competing projects, exchanges and the already super rich.
2011 of course you disagree I would too if i was sitting on a bunch of sub 1 dollar btc.
Yeah, well, I'm still sitting on my airdrop byteball. There is no way to control what people do with their coins. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder about bailing whales, but do you have any data to show for it? My point is that without the distribution model chosen, it is very unlikely that this coin would have broken through the noise. Even though it has several innovative aspects.
