For now we are going to reduce the reward to $1 per 1,000,000 WCG points earned, effective from Monday December 24 on. This way the method will still work like a faucet but it will be much harder to make a profit, which was never intended. Well monitor what this change does and make further changes when necessary

Seriously? I really don't know how your whole distribution policy could get any more stupid. You actually diminish the amount of Bytes for thousands of people who are actively contributing to something (positive) to 1/10 while at the same time keep on throwing away hundreds of GB to 1 (or 2) lonesome users per week? Someone PLEASE explain the mathematical/statistical intentions behind this.

Additionally you also diminished the lottery chance for unattested users to an absolute minimum, so practically only the KYC users have a chance. Nice "private untracable" altcoin. Keep up the good work, Russians! Undecided

Which thousands of people are you talking about? There are around 500 accounts mining for WCG and most of them are pools where the people will never see their bytes or WCG points asset on Byteball (non-transferable), they probably don't even know they would get anything if mined individually. Point of WCG was not to make profit, it's about contributing to something positive like you said. https://wcg.report/

It has been just 2 weeks and there are already more addresses (not users) on draw distribution than there was on WCG http://draw.byteball.org/
"private untracable" is only the blackbytes asset, which are distributed to newsletter subscribers and draw winners at the moment.

Again, try to keep up, the rules for draw lottery have fine-tuned after every week draw (un-attested small holders still have dis-advantage). Latest rules are these, which will increase the chances for other un-attested users again:

New rules for the next draw scheduled for Friday Dec 28:

1. Steem attestations with reputation over 60 are now also accepted along with real name attestations. There are only about 3000 Steem users with such high reputation, and many of them have a significant social following. The idea is that it'll help to build referral networks, attract smaller holders, and dilute the whales.

2. The draw has been criticized by both whales who think they are punished with the points system, and by smaller holders who see a large share of points still going to whales. Now the draw is split in two:
- one is based on balances, just balances, no points. The winner will be named Prince of Whales.
- the other is based on points as before, with rules further adjusted in favor of smaller holders (see below). The winner will be named King of Goldfish (suggestions about a better name are welcome).
The prize fund is split in two: 100 GB for the Prince of Whales and 100 GB for the King of of Goldfish but each participant automatically participates in both draws and can win in each of them (even in both at the same time). Now there can be two referrers, one for the Prince of Whales and one for the King of Goldfish, each receives 100 GB and 211.11 GBB.

3. The new rules for calculating points with the second threshold lowered from 1000 GB to 100 GB:
* 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 100 GB, plus 0.01 point for each GB above 100 GB.
* Unattested addresses get 0.01 point per GB of balance.
* 0.1 point is awarded for each GB of balance increase over the maximum balance in the previous draws, up to a 2x increase.
* 0.2 point is deducted for each GB of balance decrease since the previous draw.
