It depends on how long the due of distribution. I think vice versa saying patient but what if you dont received it in more than a year. Patient will be lost probably in this long waiting. Still we dont have any choice but to wait and so useless to say something FUD. Wait and wait is all we can do.
what if you already recieve your coins but the problem is that they dont have a value and what more worst is that you already hold and wait for about 2 years . this scenario do already happen to me . its almost two year now but the coins that i recieved from a bounty still doesnt have any value . not just one or two but there were almost 10's of them . the truth is patience just wont work all the time .
