IMO this is very bad news. None of these methods are "proven" as you say, and they are all far more opaque than distributing to addresses with balances that can be checked on the networks.

How many dollar-equivalents have been spent in the cashback program so far? What's there been like 50 people send their passport to Juobi or whatever now? Youtube crypto scam videos? Really?

There are still 40% of coins to distribute, and now they are basically completely able to be distributed by shady backroom deals or not at all. There is no way to validate distribution beyond this point. So long and thanks for all the fish.

I agree, with so many coins still to distribute, new and better schemes need to be added asap, and transparency is essential. I'm not saying Tony can't do this, just that old system worked fine, just needed to remove exchange addresses etc

Finishing distribution asap is more critical than driving adoption now, in a bull market good crypto get adopted, and since 2017 crypto adoption is moving forward. I really hope Tony appreciates the need to be transparent, and that's difficult when third parties are involved in some of these distro methods.

Old school crypto people will hear bullshit detectors going off now, fud elert, exit scam accusations etc Did not have to be this way, could have just stuck with full moons for another 6 months, anyone is free to buy BB and get some free airdrop. Simple is better than complicated, and these other methods will take years, and be prone to abuse.

All the people disappointed that they will not get free coins any more should think that what gives MORE value to a coin is the growth of its adoption base, not the growth of the number of coins in their own wallets. Tony's new distribution systems are still not completely (or if you prefer - remotely) satisfying, but anyway they are much better that just giving those coins to us, which would be of no use for the growth of the adoption base.
