Hi fellow onion lovers,
I would like to take the opportunity to share the new DeepOnion Airdrop rules, which will apply for Airdrop 16 and future airdrops :
Starting from Airdrop #16, the following rules will apply to airdrops:
The main point of the new distribution model is to promote fairness and to eliminate the possibility of fraud. Under the new distribution rules, people can create as many accounts as they wish and they will not receive anymore airdropped onions than a single account would. Importantly, all airdrop coins are yours and you decide what to do with them. There will be no 90% holding rule any more.
(1) In order to qualify, you must be a member of bitcointalk.org, at least at Jr Member level, registered before October 1, 2017. You must wear DeepOnion signature during the course of all airdrops.
(2) You must be a member of the deeponion forum (deeponion.org/forum).
(3) You must post at least 5 messages in bitcointalk.org and 3 messages in deeponion forum each week (minimum posts 50 characters, off-topic section not counted). Failing to do so will disqualify you from the current airdrop, but your account will not be banned.
(4) Distribution will be based on the ONIONs you have in your account, you must have at least 100 ONIONs to qualify.
(5) All coins you have will be freely tradable, including the ones you receive from airdrop. No more 90% hold requirement.
(6) You are allowed to change your ONION address, but only one address per account. Furthermore, only the balance on this address counts.
(7) There will be one distribution day (24 hrs) per week for airdrop. During that time you should not move your coins. Any account found moving away coins will be disqualified for the airdrop. Account where the balance increases during the day are OK, but the earliest detected amount (thus the smallest amount) will be used as the base for distribution.
(8) We will still have the factor group for people that contribute significantly and forum mods, the maximum factor will be capped at 5X, and limited only to the first 10,000 ONIONs.
(9) Distribution of the airdrop is proportional to the equivalent ONIONs in each account, at the time of the distribution. The equivalent ONION is calculated by the following formula:
- For balance <= 10,000 ONION, equivalent ONION = factor X ONIONs in account
- For balance above 10,000 ONIONs, the first 10,000 ONIONs is calculated as above, rest amount is multiplied by a factor of 1.2 (for everyone) to get the equivalent ONIONs.
For example, for a person with 20,000 ONIONs not in the factor group, the equivalent ONIONs are 22,000 ONIONs; if you are in the 2x group, then this equivalent ONION will be 32,000 ONIONs.
(10) All banned accounts from previous airdrops are not allowed to participate.
(11) All accounts declined previously will be allowed to re-apply. As long as you satisfy the above conditions, you will be auto-accepted, no manual review any more.
All current active airdrop accounts will not need to re-apply, they are valid accounts and the airdrop will be sent based on the balance on the date of distribution.
Dev/founder accounts and different fund accounts will not participate in the airdrop.
Personally I think these rules rock & will make a lot of people happy who were not able to join before.
