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.
Many people understood the terms and process. If you were not one of them then perhaps you didn't choose to read up on the terms and understand the release. Nothing is unfair about you choosing to ignore the specifics.
