No. If there was no clear idea of how to pay users without having access to their wallet, then at best they are incompetent.
As we explained for many times, we DO know how to pay bounty tokens without any confirmations. Traditional airdrop is not a difficult task, but it has disadvantages we want to avoid by moving to the Merkle airdrop system.
In this message you can find detailed explanations about it:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5067062.msg48315041#msg48315041My current understanding is that they've fixed this issue now, is that right? People no longer have to give up their private keys? If that's the case and it's also true that they haven't scammed anyone, then feedback removal at this point might be appropriate. It could be a case of them being naive about how their initial system that required private keys would be perceived, i.e., that people wouldn't think they were scammers. Unfortunately it's impossible to know someone's intentions; we can only judge people by their actions.
The answer is «yes» and «no».
From our FAQ:
- Confirm your transaction via your private key or with a help of MetaMask plugin. Note, we would highly recommend that you DO NOT use your main Ethereum wallet for this step. Instead, choose a new wallet that contains a minimal amount of funds. (If our website is compromised or you accidentally visit a different website, your funds can be stolen. You are doing this at your own risk).
- The transaction is then formed and signed in the users browser. We dont store or transfer any private data, as we care about the security of your wallet. This operation is only needed when you personally sign a transaction; otherwise we will not be able to transfer your tokens.
