You may find this quite an authentic marketing possibility for a future portion of the remaining Bytes:

Allow me to quote the main part of this link:

What if… Byteball makes a special ‘Discover Byteball’ page where people can upload their contactlist with email addresses. Every email address you provide will receive 1 MB (± $0,70) via textcoin from this fund.
I see two main problems with this:
1. Basically, it's spamming people. And although that is a powerful method used by almost every social media website, I personally hate it when a company sends me an email because someone else leaked my email address.
2. It will be very easy to abuse. Giveaways in general are heavily abused, and if all that's required is an email address, many people will claim this many times.

I agree with LoyceV.  These emails must come from a known trusted sender.  It is either a person-to-person email/chat, or a mass mailing from a business/organization you already have some relations with.

Yes, absolutely true. Moreover, there is way and way to give something for free to people, if you do not do it properly people will just come to the conclusion that what they are getting has no value, even if it has some. So in terms of image it could actually harm the coin. Receiving Bytes for free must be felt like a privilege, otherwise it will produce a result which is opposite than the intended one.
