"See my procedure for verification that has failed many times due to users not doing the right thing is very user friendly because if you're intelligent you would have got it right and we only want technical people but we also want everyday users". If verification is so user friendly then why haven't we gotten more than ~250 Jumio attestations and why are there so many complaining about failure here and on Reddit?

Just 250 attestations? Where did you get that number? It is a dismally low figure and would indicate a failure in this method of distribution.
The air drop might be expensive, but it creates a buzz around the coin and definitely increases awareness.

Checkout the stats here - https://byteball.fr/heartbeat.php
The number is 267 now, and it hasn't moved in a few days.

I must admit that it has been a failure. I had anticipated much more buzz and participation. Hopefully, we can keep this going and see if things improve closer to an ICO, but I guess it is time for the next experiment/distribution method, if any.

I didn't realise this was supposed to be a way of distributing bytes? I thought it was a new feature to increase the amount of use cases in which byteball is useful.. in which case its a nice feature that may (or may not) grow to be useful.

The thing is there has to be a reason to verify your ID. Many especially I guess in the crypto sphere value privacy so there has to be good reasons why you would do it and risk identidy fraud or whatever. For example I haven't yet trusted an exchange with copies of my passport.. So if you take the plunge. What can you do with it once you've done it? I'm not going to give my ID for 12 bucks unless it has further benefit to me. I guess I'm just asking what can you do with it once you've done it? 12 bucks is not an incentive.
