Archived Proposals / Re: Proposal idea: airdrop
« on: July 09, 2018, 11:04:59 PM »Have you considered the abuse potential? It wouldn't be hard to create VMs (Windows or Linux) and script your way to multiple 10k BBP payouts. At 0.002 x 10k = $20 USD? That's a lot of motivation to cheat the system. Sorry to be negative here, but I've seen a lot of airdrops not give the result people wanted. Wasted advertising $$$ mostly if you actually follow through on the payout. Would you have to screen for fraud manually or is there an automated/clever way to clean out fraud? Is having to upload your identification too much? Or perhaps there's an API where you can tie in with a reputable exchange where the user is registered and authenticated to an acceptable level?
I like your feedback. I thought that I made it hard for people to cheat the system.
Do you think it's easy to script something that registers you on three websites using a unique email-address, downloads, installs, and sets-up two software-programs (including waiting time for the R@H task to solve and for the blockchain to sync correctly), burns your CPID into the blockchain, and fills in the google-form with all the necessary data? I have only little programming skills, so I don't know how someone would go about this.
The verification will be manual btw (also due to my lack of programming skills).
I'm not feeling comfortable doing a KYC, with all the risks involved. It would be nice to be able to do some blockchain identity verification. I know that some projects are working on that (like Civic), and it would be nice to be able to use something like that in the future.
I could also ask participants to join a special Telegram airdrop group, those accounts are linked to unique phone-numbers.
Anyway: thanks for the feedback I hope that we can have a quality airdrop that gives us new users.
My thought about doing the airdrop this way, was that participants would already be mining in the end. Of course they could sell, but why not keep on mining?
