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.
All you had to do was get out of bed.
[EDIT] You could of even done it from your bed but you chose not to
To be fair, the news of only 20% of the coins going to alts did only come out less than 24 hours before the ITO started, but hey ho. whats done is done.
Couldn't you still sell some for BTC on poloniex and still get them at a discount as people are selling them cheaper?
