Seems like a new trend.
Fill out the form, jump through a million hoops, dev team comes up with grand conspiracy on why they can't pay then create more hoops to jump through like joining discord. Next we will have to join their facebook and give DNA for the airdrop.
With all the abundant choices in coins and the ability to create a new one at any point these types of antics will take projects like this down. They have fumbled the airdrop and now have 3 pages of people posting they did not receive. Also wanting to switch everything to discord and not discuss here on a more permanent medium is clear cut proof of the shadiness. They know this page will be linked to them for the entirety of the project and don't want the permanent record here.
Also will they be able to authenticate us any better on discord? As far as I know there is no authentication technology on discord so they are playing the jump through hoops game hoping you will quit. Classic maneuver of scammers. If there is no full proof way to authenticate you over at discord then you have to ask yourself what is going on.
This was not a real airdrop. The record should indicate that.
