Excuse me? I neither cheated nor scammed the system. Every one of my referrals was legitimate, and I even had an e-mail conversation that detailed the source of my referral-traffic in full.

Just because you received your tokens doesn't mean that other people, legitimate non-scammers or non-abusers, don't have grievances with the resulting shit-show, too.

Well, by the time you get back from your little holiday, they'll be nothing to come back to.

BTCT is one of, if not the nexus hubs for cryptocurrency across the Internet: it's pretty much jacked into thousands of other sites: news is already spreading fast.

To say the Authorship team screwed the pooch here is an understatement.

What is hilarious is that, if I were flagged as being a cheater for some reason, I even corresponded with them via e-mail about the source of my referrals early on in the bounty -- even linking them to the Reddit thread and receiving an a-okay in response!

They know that my referrals are legitimate, and we all were pretty much screwed over by this.

Still haven't had my tokens sent to my wallet address, and my due amount is over 8400 due to my authentic promoting on social-media.

Early on in the bounty, I was in the top ten on the leader-board.

I promoted your project in good faith on Reddit, even corresponding with you via e-mail to confirm that promoting/inviting via the platform was acceptable (not "spam"). I guided people on there, helping them and giving them instructions on how to set up a MyEtherWallet to receive their tokens.

And now you pull this: not only will I not receive my tokens for promoting your platform, but none of the people who trusted me on Reddit will receive theirs, as well.

They put their faith in me, as I put my faith in your platform, and you've just, to be crude, shat over both like some greasy cars salesman.

You're collectively punishing the genuine users because of the fraudsters, offering a token (to use a pun), a worthless token, of a few measly books instead of what was promised to people.

You basically scammed or duped people into being advertisement platforms for the false promise of compensation.

If you're going to do an airdrop, at least have the decency to find a way to fulfil your promise.

No, you didn't have to do an airdrop in the first place, but you did: you committed yourself to it, and now you're essentially weaselling your way out of it.

I am utterly disgusted by this.

Fix it. Give people what you promised somehow, or the reputation of your platform is going to tank it before it even launches.

Hell, this stunt may have tainted it irreparably already.

Seriously? 

C'mon people, don't be dumb: just read the form! It's self-explanatory!

It's not like you're trying to calculate rocket trajectory with pen and paper or something. [sigh]

Congratulations Peter and Team on your success.

Seeing good tidings for this project.

Yup.

The timing sucks, but that's why the asshats behind the DDoS chose it.

There are rumours going around that Poloniex is falling apart internally.

Time will tell, but until we know for sure, Bittrex or another exchange would be the safest option, IMHO.

Cheers for the clarification.

Probably a stupid question, but does "Eth Account" mean any Ethereum wallet address?
