Free POW tokens. I'm not exactly sure what's going on with these. This is another social networking token and they're distributing the air drop via social site referrals. If you sign up, you recieve around 30,000 POW lite at the time of this writing. At the end of the air drop all POW lite will be converted to a POW ERC20 ethereum tokens and spendable like any other token.
