So, once again, what were the reasons for choosing lottery over equal distribution to holders? I wasn't following the discussion if there was one but I'm sure there were some solid points for such decision.

Well, there's still some life on Github. But anyway price likely depends on general market conditions. All decent projects will either have a bull run together with BTC or go to hibernation near zero for a few years together.

And XEL/BTC ratio doesn't have any previous bubble history so it has some potential this time.

I mean Dash in 2015-2016. Forgot there are many newer people in this space who won't get this.

Having active and dedicated trolls is usually a good sign for the project (see Dash).

Do you realize that you're encouraging people to spam the search feed and clog it with irrelevant data? It is bad enough already with bots promoting scams and reflinks with popular tags. Don't make it worse.

Also it makes the project look like one of those scammy promotions.

Absolutely don't use any tags other than $XLQ and general crypto related like $BTC or $crypto. And report people who do otherwise for spam.

98% price retrace with no change in fundamentals is no joke. I suppose that at least a short term bounce is due, maybe even something more.

Glad to see the project is still active.

BTC ratio almost at initial donation level. Might be a good time to buy or average down. Very likely it will cost not less in a year from now.

Only 1500 sats to go till the late "donation" phase price. Maybe it will even dip to "early adopters'" entry level which is about 800 sats.

In bear market news don't affect anything. Wait for market cycles to change, i.e. from several months to a year.

2.6 BTC buy support. I think it'll bounce on zero for sure.

What about that recent flash dump? Did the marketing team release some fake news again?

Ah, I see - it's just BTC almost hitting 10K...

Your passphrase is enough. You don't need to backup any files.

Calling the price bottom here (3-4K sats).

So what will be more profitable this time - 10% airdrop or exchange dump discount?

"Anger bounce", depression coming. I think no later than February-March we'll see a rise. No fundamentals can beat the emotional market cycle, examples are everywhere.

Not that this project turned out to be a scam and not worth investing any more. Absolutely not, it still has a promising tech and will likely reward investors in the long term.

But these recent events showed that it is not different from many others in terms of how the people who run it try to manipulate the market. They likely dumped into the news hype and will buy 3-5 times more with the same BTC in the coming months, then repeat the process until they own the majority of supply. Something similar was seen with APX recently.

It's not good or bad, just not different from 99% of crypto pump and dump schemes. This is how these markets work.

Guys, you should perform such fake news-FUD pump and dump schemes at higher levels of valuation. Not in the middle of a bear season, lol.

Let's follow IOTA: 3 years of OTC then get listed on Bitfinex as a first exchange.

Yes, but you don't have to run a full node and can switch to a light wallet which syncs in a few seconds.

So when will we have the next testnet voting for voting about voting about future possible voting on another hardfork voting so that we will be able to vote better while we are voting? So excited, I like voting! There's still lots of voting left on 2017 roadmap and you don't want to run out of causes for voting and work on some real new features.
