Reese,
You could have bought blocknet with your Xc for a 10% discount. There was a limited number of blocknet tokens available for this offer. These sold out in a few hours.
I think that offer was shared with the other affiliate coins.
I think it's unfair that some folks couldn't use some of their XC to buy blocknet tokens. I didn't find out about this until after it was sold out.
It was "first come first served". To hell with the long time Xc holders.
