The rules for the next draw (@bittybox you were first to notice):

* Real-name attested addresses get 1 point per GB of balance up to 10 GB, plus 0.1 point for each GB between 10 GB and 1000 GB, plus 0.01 point for each GB above 1000 GB.
* Unattested addresses get 0.01 point per GB of balance.
* 0.1 point is awarded for each GB of balance increase since the previous draw.
* 0.2 point is deducted for each GB of balance decrease since the previous draw.

The change introduces 0.01 coefficient for unattested addresses and very large attested addresses. As a result, the weight of whales is further reduced.

The page http://draw.byteball.org/ now displays whale dominance % at the bottom.

Also the partecipation of privacy-concerned community members will be further reduced. Everyone with just a few Gigabytes or even tens of Gibabytes in their wallet and who has privacy concerns and doesn't want to attest their names will have close to zero motivation to play at this game with the 0.01 parameter applied to them. They'd need 100 GB to match the chances of an attested member with just 1 Gb, not really worth any hassle for thise below 1Gb. Of course it costs close to no effort to take part to such a draw even with close to zero chances to win, but motivation to increase one's stake to get the 0.1 point increase at these conditions will be unexistent for the unattested.
I understand that the perfect solution doesn't exist, but in the end the real question is: will this solution effectively enlarge the user base more than it will upset privacy-concerned members?

Agreed!
I don't participate in this nonsense either.

It has been proven that the regime is not concerned at all with increasing the number of users. There are other options, but they have been completely ignored for almost two years.

Not participating is the very least, I am considering selling hugh stakes of my Byteballs. I hope these guy of bobq is not anyhow in any administrative position, his way of thinking will be the death of Byteball.
