Another one Bytes the dust!!!!!
So after a couple days of complete madness Byteball is cracking down on people trying to game the system in order to get more tokens. Now we should have known this was gonna happen the moment they announced the airdrop was based on Reputation.
Some people have earned quite a lot of money creating accounts for 3 Steem and paying for upvotes to push the rep up to 40. Not only that but they are getting double by referring themselves over and over with each new account created.
Byteball has announced that any account created after July 12, 2018 will not be eligible to claim the airdrop BUT they will still be able to refer other users to attest their Steem name. They have also chopped some of the airdrop rewards in half. So accounts that fall in the 30-40 and 40-50 bracket will receive half the reward. So $5 for 30 and up and 10 for 40 and up. Now paying for upvotes to boost your rep isn't going to be profitable at least not like it was.
It's a sad reality that people abuse the system but it's exactly what I just said REALITY. In life people try to get over in just about every industry you can think of. Someone somewhere is trying to game the system. So it's no surprise people have gone absolutely nuts over this thing. Honestly I think the Byteball people were probably just a little too excited and maybe jumped the gun. Honestly I feel like the Attestation fee should have been paid in Steem or SBD directly from the steem wallet to prove ownership of account. There are many Steemers who have their private keys floating around so this is just another way for people to exploit this airdrop.
If money can be made better believe the scammers are coming!!!!!
When I first heard of this airdrop and the referral rewards I though this was a pretty cool way to earn some extra money. I send Byteball to a user to help with their fee and they receive the airdrop and I receive a reward. Boy was I naive. Every time I checked an address left in my comment section it was sniped instantly!!!!! So not only are they farming accounts, paying for upvotes to boost rep but also stealing referrals!!!!
People started to really notice this and changed the format and asked that people send the wallet addresses in private. There have only been 25,000 users who have claimed the airdrop so there is still some money to be made made. I am sure the changes implemented by Byteball will not stop all the spamming and theft but it's a great start!!!!
