Recently got to know about MarineCoin (
https://marineco.in/) where you need to Signup and verify your Account. Thereafter you need to do a promotion of the project (which is like a bounty program) and submit photo and ID proofs along with proof-of-work and you get 450,000 tokens free.
The project was live in 2013-14 and got stopped for some reason and has now been restarted. The website says that it is a community project with a total token count ~9 billion (pre-mined).
Scope of Project: Payment technology that claims to be ~5 times faster than the Bitcoin blockchain
Risk: Low (no investment; ID proof and proof-of-work to be submitted)
I don't see any downsides in the project yet. What do you guys think?
I'm really excited about this. Virtually all recent ICOs have been new coins with no track history. But marinecoin has been around for years, which is like decades or centuries in crypto-time, lol. Most of the coins have been pre-mined, so the airdrop is really the only way to get it with minimal risk and investment. All round, an excellent HODL option for 2018
