There might be clarity on this move as time passes. It is still a test idea and could changed as explained. At this time 5000 FRM is still less than $100 but I dont like the silence of the BM on this new update. Since he started the campaign he should pull it through to distribution, now, he doesn't care about the bounty participants opinion on the change in rule.
you mean to send 5000 ferrum tokens to be able to participate in ferrum token mining. I think this has nothing to do with the distribution of tokens to bounty participants, which was announced by BM the participant must register at the ferrum platform to claim the token ..
