The secret behind the Byteball airdrop?

in #byteball8 years ago (edited)

Intro

So this Byteball thing is being spread around steemit so much lately. Everyone is all in on the attestation, but is there a dark side?

Others ideas

Since the referral process has been fixed, some users like @themarkymark concerns no longer make sense. (But before the system was fixed, he had a good idea of how bots were screwing the system.)

While people like @berniesanders are all about the referrals, even paying someone 100SBD to write the best explanation to help others use Bernie's referral.

Or someone like @acidyo who just sit back and make it easy for users that haven't claimed their bytes yet use his link.

My concerns

So this is all good and what not, but what about that other half of those bytes that are sitting in a contract?

In @punqtured s own words:

So we get half of our Bytes now and the other half at a years end...... Or do we?

  • Who holds those bytes?
  • How do we access them?
  • Is the holder trustworthy?
  • What happens if you forget about those precious bytes?

So here's what's up with those hidden away Byte's.....

They are held in a smart contract, created by the "Steem Attestation Bot". The funds can be accessed by yourself after a full 365 days. So there you go!

No.... wait.... DON'T WAIT!

If you forget about these beautiful byte's? Then the controller of the Attestation Bot can spend them/transfer them into their own wallet after 2 years!

Yeah, that's right!

So you better back this thing up!

Make sure you create a backup up file, Like REALLY! And don't forget about Byteball and all the great things they have/will bring to this great Steemit community!

My friend, I am sure that I will forget about these bytes but I can count on you to post an article reminding us, a year from now. Thank you!

Oh definitely, gotta put it in your electronic calendar. 😁

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

If we're all still here a year from now, we can remind ourselves... "remember byteball?" @ironshield
