The distribution to those who hope for a performanceless (finally Fiat-)income is a waste of time and energy and certainly does not increase real demand.

It is clear that very few of the community will support this idea. Who has so much self-determination and initiative to open their own shop?
One wants to draw something for free, and exactly this virtue is served by the Byteball management. And that's exactly why it won't work with the desired broad distribution. Because nobody knows what to do with the received "Bytes".

It's not just about distribution. Don't be fixated on it. The purpose of this real name attestation campaign is to create a large user base of users with real identities, which the apps can leverage. No other platform has or is trying to create it. Undistributed funds help create incentives before the actual apps exist.

I would very much like to offer my goods on Open Bazaar for "Blackbytes", but I can't do that.

We have a grants program for those who want to create an Open Bazaar for "Blackbytes".

First of all, you should make sure that this currency is to be used as what it claims to be: a currency. This would put you ahead of the competition.
Gimmicks that need a KYC can still happen.

Also the distribution of the bites would find really increasing spreading and would not reduce itself in the long run only on a small basis of bite ball fanboys with their unshakeable uncritical faith.

Furthermore, the ignorant adherence to "bite ball" is more than a hindrance to acceptance.

KYC is not just a gimmick, user controlled identity can also be used instead of passwords for instance. Many use cases for this.
We're not ignoring the criticism on the name, we're actively addressing it.

The mass of sheep usually has no problem with KYC, and for them there are FIAT currencies with their infinite number of applications that increasingly monitor, control and domesticate the herd.

Decentralized crypto currencies, on the other hand, should have a different claim: Privacy, boundless, truly free trade without state control and coercion to finance international terrorism.

Focus on developing bite ball into an integrated system that allows free trade in goods and services.
The beginning is a wallet integrated possibility to change Fiat into bites/blackbites (and vice versa) => BISQ.
In addition, orient yourself to ebay alternatives like Open Bazaar or Bitbay. The latter even forms a unit with the currency and seems to be more resistant to censorship.

But I'm afraid bite ball is not decentralized enough to carry such solutions, unless the witnesses have been routed through TOR.

You should finally give more priority to changing the name, but please don't coordinate with the remaining opportunistic community.
The critical and objective spirits have unfortunately already taken flight.
