i think the intention was to get through with the drop asap which is good. Ok, market will be flooded with coins but once all the coins are out there price can rise to any hights because that sword of the massive amount of airdrop-coins doesn't hang over the market anymore. I'd suggest: buy later when there are plenty. After airdrop is completed it's going to take a few weeks and we see price rise again. That's going to be pretty crazy.
I think it is a very good decision to speed up the airdrop. The alternative could have been to destroy the coins which would have been a bit better but nobody thought of that probably.
+1 for destroying some of the premine. Doesn't make sense to flood the market more than necessary and devalue coins that are already held by people. I'd be very much for a second airdrop of the size like the first one (30 something coins) ... give people a chance to claim them (couple of weeks) and publicly destroy the remaining premine. You don't want to have an even lower marketcap than you have now with more coins than you have now. It'll be ridiculous. Save aur from being dumped to oblivion and destroy the unclaimed coins after a certain date! Aur slipped to place 109 on coinmarketcap. If you release all of the premine it'll be on spot 200 together with the dead coins. The network will suffer from that too and you'll risk a real fail. So please don't release more coins than necessary at this point and destroy the rest so we can see some appreciation in value again. Thank you very much!
