A long winded opinion on distribution.
--
To be Frank I don't care.
UNO is one of, and possibly, the best intial distro, ever. This is not hyperbole. See the history of crypto from BTC to LTC to ETH to Zeta.
Next, check the numbers,
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/uno/#!richUNO is dominantly distributed to the 11-100 addresses. Not the Top10. And for such a small capital coin this speaks volumes.
Personally I'd love to see an egalitarian coin with 90% held by those under Top10000. I have yet not seen this. Even with airdrops, the lions share seems to be picked off by the Top 10 accounts. Again UNO is more diverse than most, but still steered by the Top100.
With current participation numbers this is still fair, and evidence of this is UNO trade, we have constantly dealt with whales attempting to manipulate the market (as is true with any market traded asset), but in the long game their influence is dwindling. And the current market temperature seems to be ... let it go as low as it can. And I think this collective consensus is cool, ice cold cool, most coins stack the books to create the illusion of vast support. While UNO has opened the door for new participants to get a position at undervalue rates.
Note: Verns share which is a significant number is likely to be broken up and distributed also.

RE: Giveaway distribution.
I think in general giveaways are erroneous. But providing incentive for new participants to join in the conversation is worth exploring again. So bring out the helicopter. I would suggest a rule be that you
must demonstrate having an active UNO wallet for +6months, thus a quid quo pro
slightly contradicting ... Getting the funds together to make UNO tip-able on Cryptopia is a worth while cause.
- Because it is fun.
- It adds value, even if the function is seldom used.
- appeases distribution critics ... Cryptopia has a very wide and diverse user base ... and we can likely afford to throw a un-penny to them all.

RE: distribution methods
Again give aways = just for fun.
1. Mass Adoption
I don't think UNO is built for mass adoption, but we should strive to market it, and maintain presences that it is a superior product for value storage.
But I am currently exploring the possibility of backing a microcoin with UNO. Hence UNO provides a floor value, and there is literally enough coins for every one to have some. Thus UNO can be both rare and abundant; both low inflation yet have a side chain with entropy feature.
2. Best Adoption Method
a) friends and family ... sort of an Amway less the scammy
b) IMZ's Mall concept
c) Specific and Concentrated .. aka .. localized distribution
I would suggest a blend of ABC.
UNO is market mature enough, and has assembled the requisite tools to float as a valid local currency. We can handle quick mobile payment solutions, ebay web markets (which is of use only if local), and even instant payment solutions(3rd party). Of interest ...

UNO is at a floor value. The timing is getting very right. Underwriting UNO @ $2 is an option. Also a localized experiment could have de facto roll backs / claws ... so that only local participants from the local coin pools can claim at the pegged $ rate... block chain tech makes monitoring this fuzzy solution possible.
4. Primary Case Use
UNO can try to be all things to all people. But the prime utility of UNO is acting as a stable (non-inflationary) base pair. This means market utility. So the core user base is active traders and long term investors. As an experiment we can have a secondary project that aims to launch a local currency use.
