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.

man, that is bad but completely expected. you're asking people to hand over ID to total strangers and go through all that hassle for a few dollars' worth of byteball. to expect a decent number of people to want to do that, let alone go through with it, is risible. it would have to be several times more in value and even then i don't think most people would do it.

handing over ID is kryptonite here. it'll be done to get on the biggest exchanges. not for a tiny airdrop.

this is a resounding fail.

as a few posts above, if there was a super compelling project that required it then it might be considered worth it and it's great that a system like this is in place, but here and now if i were a newcomer to byteball i absolutely wouldn't do it for what's on offer.
