It's odd how a newbie account has so much info about our honesty.

After block 160.000, when this chain remained active after BitcoinZ fork, we watched it and discovered someone was keeping it alive. At around block 170.000 we decided to create BZEdge. At that time we had no infrastructure, no plans for the future and no implementation done for Zhash, new halving table and blocktime down to 1 minute

There are multiple factors that delayed the announcement, we will list a few:
1. Implementation and testing of zhash algo, new halving time table, block time down to 1 minute
2. Setup main infrastructure (nodes, seeders, wallet, website, plans for the future)
3. Equihash coins being attacked when Z9's first batch shipped. Remember that period when all exchanges were asking for 240 confirmations on equihash coins deposits ?

A small network like ours at that time could've been destroyed in a blink of an eye.
Another fact is that we announced it in BitcoinZ community for a period, so the devs didn't actually mined 40000 blocks, miners did.

Ok my friend , convinced . but i, like many who did not manage to withdraw coins to a local wallet , would like to receive airdrop bze . Today I received a response from the team stocks.exchange , i appealed to them as the largest bire by volume BTCZ , they answered me :" Dear Sir , BTCZ developers first should have contacted to our developers to listing this coin. And then we will maintine this airdrop." . Now many people who had BTCZ on the exchange at the moment snapshot have a hope to receive airdrop , and this hope for you dear developers , if BZE is transparent and friendly , we all hope for your cooperation with the team stocks.exchange , and early listing to stocks.exchange , then we will all be able to get an airdrop , that would be fair , and the new exchange will benefit the new coin .  Excuse me generously if i hurt someone's feelings . Regards !
