The question for Byteball is: should we try and make this process kid-proof? My opinion is that we should not. Working with contracts is something for adults. Of course the process should be as easy as possible and the explanation of the terms and conditions should be clear, but totally kid-proofing it seems near impossible and not necessary.

There is no way to block 'kids' from investing or even trying to claim free tokens. 'Kids' can also be mentally slow adults. I see a bunch of people complain about Byteball (and all other projects as well), simply because they have no damn clue as to what they're doing. They read what they want and ignore everything else. So, when they can't figure out how they just spent $8, they complain the project is at fault and ignore what the transition bot said. It's simply amazing how many of those 'kids' have no idea what a change address is or how to move coins but actually have coins to even move (without having lost them). Almost as amazing is how many of those people have $100 worth of coin and willing to pay an $8 transaction, but complain that they haven't received $1000 worth of free coin. They just simply have no clue and almost no amount of coaching will every help them or even change their mind that something is good or bad, because they've already made the decision in their head that it can't be their fault for having not followed directions.

No, these are reasonable users that the project is driving away by being asinine. Why on earth should users not be refunded when a project-sponsored verification fails do to technical reasons? And why is it a goal of this project to make everything user-unfriendly as possible while making public no plans for improvement? The market's trust in this project is fading because of poor leadership attitudes and I say that as someone with a lot of GB. Tony doesn't seem to care about the price of GB nor the market perception, saying exchanges and "traders" are unnecessary.

Also, will there or will there not be an aidrop in March? What will happen with all the remaining bytes?

Reasonable users? Ha!
Your response is akin to saying... Why shouldn't I be refunded by the casino if the ball lands on Red when I put my money on Black? I mean, I intended to bet on Black, so it should be considered a win even though it was my mistake for physically putting it on Red. Just like all the people investing on known Ponzi scams working out great until it fails and then complain that they lost their money and want it back. LOL. If someone invests in something and it makes money, they are happy. If they invest and it goes down, it's everyone's fault but their own and they feel entitled to get everything back.

I like the rest of your paragraph. You simply made everything up. I don't see where the goal was to make things user-unfriendly - Please quote your source.
You also said Tony doesn't seem to care. --- Please post where you came up with this far fetched idea as well.
Even better was your statement in which you quoted out of context.

Also, if you read the OP (Original Post) or even look at the website, you will see the next 'tentative' airdrop is in March. I realize you are standing in line to get the free welfare check and complaining that there is no leather recliner to sit in.

Haha. Verifying yourself is supposed to be a gamble (!!!?). Nice joke. I really like your gymnastics. User unfriendly - read this thread maybe? Users have failed verification because they didn't use a single address wallet. Why doesn't the verification handle the case when they don't have a single address wallet? Why is the current tps limited to 10 and why are there no plans to improve that? Why are so many unable to use a full wallet? No optimization plans? Why doesn't the project require Jumio to refund users when verification fails due to technical reasons or due to Jumio's inadequacy? Why has Tony completely ignored the community desire for a more professional/agreeable name? Why has Tony brushed off silvercatman's help with redesigning the website look?

I'm not asking for any handouts. I would much prefer the airdrops and Jumio program cease because they are very ineffective at gaining users. Why doesn't Tony set aside some bytes for the development and marketing instead of foolishly giving away more bytes? Any plans for a secure web wallet? Tony thinks that new exchanges are not necessary as stated in recent interview (look on Reddit), so we are stuck with one low volume exchange that is open (cryptox).

Why don't I do all of those things myself you ask? I don't have the time or expertise and well Tony is in charge of the project. He's also the one sitting on over $100,000,000 worth of undistributed bytes.
