No worries, please!
Private key is not the only way to claim your tokens. We have now implemented so-called Merkle airdrop: the system of distributions made by request.
How does it work? Here are the main principles:
- We generate the list of payments, which contains basic data of users and their rewards: payment ID, wallet address, amount of tokens to be paid. Then we use the list as the base for whitelist: list of wallets which are allowed to request a certain amount of tokens.
- We form the control amount of tokens (Merkle Root) to be transferred into smart-contract. Now users can receive their tokens if they prove that they are whitelisted.
- User receives the whitelist as a proof he can claim certain amount of tokens.
- User forms the transaction proving his ability to receive tokens, signs it and sends it to the network.
- The contract processes the transaction, checking the proof. If the proof is correct, and mentioned wallet is corresponding with amount of tokens, the payment is to be transferred to the mentioned wallet.
There are 3 ways of signing the transaction:
1.By importing his private key;
By importing mnemonic seed
By importing his wallet file + passphrase
You can also create the new empty wallet for claiming your tokens. We automatically renew the whitelists once in 24 hours. After the update you will have a possibility to send your tokens onto the new wallet.
The transaction is being formed and signed in the users browser. We dont keep or transfer any private data, as we care about the security of your wallets. This operation is needed only as your personal sign; otherwise we will not be able to transfer your tokens.
2. User creates new wallet on the base of our platform. New wallet is to be imported into the system automatically.
3. User doesnt keep any data on our platform and signs each transaction by entering his data at our platform.
Here you can learn more about the Merkle Tree airdrop and its advantages (comparing with traditional airdrops):

What is the point of this? You already have the whitelist and wallet adresses, so why would we need to go through this extensive process to receive tokens? You are trying to make a simple process as complicated as possible.
I also find it funny that you state that you welcome question, everyone that have used your platform knows the fact that the team close to never responds to bounty hunters concerns, and it is pretty much impossible to contact you.
I would also like to know why you gave no warning about the fact that you were going to implement this unethical practice in advance. No mail, nothing, just suddenly a "claim token" box where people had to submit their private key.
