Is it true that XEM has been initially distributed via Airdrop? There was no ICO, some private sale or similar?
Part of it was Airdrop. Part of it was 'given away' for a 'nominal donation' so read that as you will. But it wasn't like a typical ICO where you get more tokens the more money you put in - the initial NEM distribution was all based on Stakes and those were given to people in this forum based on unique usernames.
