I'll be honest, the terms of this campaign were too vague.

Basically you get part of 0.1BTC for any domain that goes down if you just post an address??? What proof is there that the emails sent is connected to the poster for instance, and what proves the singular humanity of each poster posting an address.

Hello

No question is dumb, even less when it is a good one.

1. You post your BTC address here
2. You make the report by adding us in CC
3. If the domain is suspended according to the above criteria, we'll contact you by email (this is possible because you will have added us in CC), so we'll ask for your Bitcointalk username.
4. We send the reward

eXch meant well but I'm sure they didn't completely think this through. First of all there's going to be a lot of spam against registrars just to grab a piece of juicy rewards. In my view the ideal scenario would have been rewarding those users who could prove they sent an actually readable and common sense letter to registrars. But that's just my style to be honest. Evidently the spamming worked against some registrars already.

But those registrars actually interested into following procedures may want to conduct an investigation first in which case spamming them is likely to take away from the seriousness of the case.

Anyway, it's their campaign. Hopefully they'll implement some common sense policy when distributing funds. Yes, arbitrary decisions do make sense sometimes. Maybe don't disqualify everyone who had an account wake up after years, but at least reduce their part of the rewards to something very small especially if they couldn't be arsed to write a proper letter to registrars. I'm sure even for writing to registrars there's going to be a lot of AI slop.
