If OG simply had to sign a BTC message from HIS keys it is debatable if the airdrop value should be his or not anyway, because they are OG's keys..
The amount of GBYTE airdropped was based entirely on the Bitcoin holdings on the address. So if someone joined by signing a message from an empty private key, he got nothing.
Right, but the keys are his property..
You can't claim an airdrop with a screenshot of your balance in a 3rd party wallet/exchange either, or by showing an escrow contract..
Some exchanges have indeed done that. But what if it's just their local system administrator who claims it for himself instead of the company?
Well, is the local systems admin the owner of the keys or just contracted to manipulate the keys owned by the company?
I would think the keys would be owned by the company, and an employee doing anything with the keys outside of their job expectation would be unethical up to the point of stealing the same as if they were to take everything off of the company's keys..
OG claimed the Airdrop coins without Theymos's consent or knowledge
I don't ask theymos for consent on what I do with my keys either..
OG handed over the BCH, president has been set there.
But did he
have to hand over the BCH and other "major" forks in order to fulfill the contract, or was he just a good guy for doing so?
