Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments
Announcement from chief developer Tony on Slack:
Quote
there are about 2000 people who linked their btc address since november in anticipation of the cancelled airdrop. We'll do a small airdrop for them, about $30 worth to each. Both to those who linked via microtx (and spent money) and those who linked by signing. Even if BTC balance is 0. They are all new users after all.
Nice!
A good move in the right direction!
Why not consider giving all linked accounts $30?
- After the Cryptopia Situation is fixed of course . . .and we're done
(Don't forget to include the BlackBytes as well)
In the right direction? It's even worse than simply cancelling the whole airdrop completely.
Anyway... I will keep hodling because I think Byteball is fundamentally a good idea and technology. I just hope that, in the future, it gets its shit together and begins to also have any potential as an investment too.
Fortunately, for most people it is just a matter of "don't looking a gift horse in the mouth". For the rest... just remember to "not invest more than you are willing to lose". It doesn't make any sense to keep arguing what Byteball should be or do... it is what it is, take it or leave it.
Even worse? how can you say that?
Many were out of pocket over this, and you can't really blame anyone for believing it was going to happen - that would be a bit harsh dont you think?
It's a decent and ethical thing to do - a step in the right direction - and they are new users.
I think you make some good points otherwise.
