OptiToken has released the details regarding the airdrop on Bay holders:


Optitokens will be airdropped to BAY holders in the following format.

1:300 meaning 1 OptiToken for every 300 BAY the top 500 addresses hold in their BAY cold wallet  at time of snapshot at roughly 3pm UTC on May 1st, 2018.

The amount is set to be roughly 3.9 million OptiToken which is in ICO value nearly €500,000 value at current ICO rate of €0.12 per OptiToken. The value can grow as well as we are extending a way for others to participate. OptiToken is a strong believer in BAY and looks forward to its growth as it nears its pegging to the USD.

What if my BAY are stuck on UpBit? Please speak with Seungjin in the Korean BitBay TG group as he’s coordinating the solution and we will most certainly include those individuals.

What if I’m not a top 500 address but still active in community?
Simply shoot us an email at airdrop@optitoken.io with your Slack name or TG name and an ERC20 compatible ETH wallet address we will drop you 30 OPTI as well Smiley

Here’s an added bonus we’ve decided to add in as we try to innovate demand in this bearishly depressing market:

Airdrop doubles for BAY holders who buy 2 ETH+, triples for people who buy 5 ETH+ of OPTI. So what this means is if someone is set to receive 4,000 OPTI’s from Airdrop their allocation will raise to 8,000 or even 12,000 additional tokens

If someone from the BAY community doesn’t have enough BAY to be a top 500 address then they can still participate and receive 2,500 additional OPTI if they purchase 2 ETH+ of opti and hold at least 1000 BAY, 5,000 additional opti if they buy 5 ETH+ and hold at least 1000 BAY.

To receive this discount email info@optitoken.io with your BAY deposit address so we can explore the balance along with your email you used to sign up and purchase OptiToken. We’ll examine both address on or within a few days of the timestamp date for Airdrop which is May 1st.

Did you know?
OptiToken recently switched its ICO pegged price from the EURO to ETH=€385 (22% added value) and BTC=€6480 (20% roughly added value) whyd we do this? This gives HODL’ers and true believers in crypto a chance to rewind time a bit and peg their crypto’s value a bit higher while bad actors continue to try to drive market prices down!
OptiToken.io is where you go if you wish to participate. We hope this brings a lot of new buys to OptiToken as we have people who are now learning about BAY for the first time in our social outlets and we hope the same happens for OptiToken.

I just found out that withdrawel of crypto from C-cex is not possible from December 20th to Jan 20th. They claim the reason is vacation. They did not warn their users with email notification.
Does anyone believe that a business that is nomally open 24/ takes 1 month! vacation? I certainly don't.
Does anyone have info on this?

[Here are some of the things BitBay has to offer:]

Get paid to learn smart contracts!

Bitbay was the worlds first decentralized markets. We want more people to learn about the awesome unbreakable contracts offered by BitBay and Halo. Learn about it by using the "training" contract offered in the software.

Here is a training video of a contract being done:

BitBay runs using "unbreakable contracts" using double deposit. Its been a few years running flawlessly. The fawcet uses the "guarantor" contracts where the deposit is only made by the seller (unilateral) however the theory is the same in the user interface. It is easy to set up using the "Cash for Coins" template.

Unlike other projects, this is not a promotion or vaporware. This software does exactly what it says it does. A lot of investors speculate on coins not even bothering to download the software and see the power of what it offers. This is what we are trying to fix. Get more people interested in caring about the technology and using it. This software has a full user interface and hundreds of little features exhaustively tested over the years. Something we know you will find awesome. There is absolutely nothing like this on the market.
Rising from the ashes! Our upcoming pegging system will force a stable price:

Implications of DDE(Double Deposit Escrow) Smart Contracts and their use cases:
Decentralized "Local Bitcoins": Send wires without the fear of theft due to Double deposit
Decentralized exchange of cash for coins
Buy/Sell anything without "Empty Box Scam" NO ARBITER NEEDED. It is self enforcing trade even with untrusted parties
So it works like a decentralized trustless ebay... NO MIDDLEMEN, NO ESCROW NEEDED
Works like decentralized Freelancer/Odesk
Unbreakable Employee contracts. FORCE people to HONOR their word! No more unreliable employees, employers forced to pay as well.
Barter ANYTHING. Use the coins only as self-assurance. Form a farm co-op trade Gold for Silver, Iron for Wheat. No need to use coins can decouple completely from currency.
Some of the templates are still being worked on to make it "Mom friendly" so that it takes as few clicks as possible to form a contract. No need to think of "terms and conditions" contracts are anonymous and self-enforcing. Here is some of the features that we are working on in 2017:
*Exotic spending... we will have the worlds first client to support time locks in the UI, deadmans switch and burn and parking and freezing coins all supported within the UI.
*Cold Staking for both BitBay and BlackHalo... stake using two computers, impossible to hack. Its basically joint account staking
*Custom Staking with Voting! Completely trustless voting and donations via staking.
*Anti-Keylogger: A special on-screen keyboard to obliterate keyloggers once and for all. Even mouse movement loggers will be no match for this unless every movement is recorded
*Tor and proxy options for internet requests
*Buy/Sell template featuring multiple shipping options including a calculator and options to bill in escrow
*Employment template featuring the ability for weekly reports and auto-payment within contract. Payments contingent on reports
*Barter contract with amazing "wish list" where each item can be calculated converting kilograms to hours and ability to know exactly how many "Avocados" you need for a pound of "Tomatoes". Perfect for farming co-op in 3rd world countries. Perfect for trading used items!
*Reverse auctions! Sellers bid for you the buyer
*Normal Auctions... Ebay style decentralized auctions
*Python contracts: Use the python interpreter to make contracts between peers. Pre-approved contracts potentially possible for verified devs and audited code on github.
*API And more!

The developer of BitBay (David Zimbeck) has been coding for years. He speaks with his software, always backing up his word. Unlike other developers he has never abandoned a project. The original founders of BitBay left the project and tried to blame him for their nefarious actions. Yet despite being cyberbullied and propagandized by the founders through the bitcointalk forum, 2 years later he STILL codes the software releasing many updates and a recent fork to POS 3.0. This is why we want you to test the software for yourself! The proof is in the actions!
Bitbay will be releasing a "rolling peg". This is basically a freezing/unfreezing inflation/deflation system that has the ability to create two asset classes "frozen" and "liquid". Based on voting, the supply can decrease or increase allowing a stable price in the markets and the ability to increase price without a market maker.

If you've read this far, thanks for listening and we hope you will join us and learn how to use smart contracts!

I hate clones, so I never thought I'd say this: Please make a Steem clone

Despite it's obvious flaws, Steem has shown us how we can get Joe and Jane into crypto. Steem will fail of course for reasons discussed in other threads, but a clone that fixes the issues could become a huge success. I would certainly throw a few btc at it if it had a dev with good reputation.
