I've been watching the last round and it was scary because nether eosscan.io nor eos.io/distribution/ showed correct amount of contributed ETH
so I was "blind" and did not participate

is there other way to check current contribution?

So those Bulgarians steal $50 Millions from the marketcap? How do you know that they are Bulgarians? I've checked and this is very small country.

Unfortunately, I think that you misunderstand the system. Given the trillions of different gender identities, we have adopted a coding system in which each gender identity is assigned a 64-bit number. For example, and only for illustration (I do not wish to presume your wingspan), Apache-attack-helicopter-gendered people would need to input the easy-to-remember code 0x9b68d151aeefa34f. In order to maintain compatibility with legacy systems, however, this is done by submitting the form multiple times with different genders. For example, in this case you would input Male Female Female Male Male Female Male Male Female Male Male Female Male Female Female Female Male Male Female Male Female Female Female Male Female Male Female Male Female Female Female Male Male Female Male Female Male Male Male Female Male Male Male Female Male Male Male Male Male Female Male Female Female Female Male Male Female Male Female Female Male Male Male Male. Simple! Now, it may seem discriminatory to assign Male 1 and Female 0, but not to worry! The coding is designed so that you can also input the inverse and get the same result. And to avoid left-handed bias, you can also enter it in opposite order. In fact, you can just put in whatever sequence of entries you want and the result will be the same.

So you see, bitcointalk.org is in fact the most progressive website ever, and I am ashamed to live in a world in which this system isn't yet codified into law.

Greed is a terrible thing, this project had so much potential.

It is $XRP indeed. Because it is the most successful one in terms of building partnerships with the financial institutions.

In terms of byteball airdrops and effect on price I would expect that skipping the airdrop for a particular month, equating to less supply that month, should tend to boost the price, just by normal supply versus demand dynamic, although that didn't seem noticeable in the last skipped air drop month.

I can imagine that 'slow' dripping of byteball into the market by these airdrops though, is prolonging  uncertainty and aggravated by the fact that Tony has ultimate control over when to airdrop and when not to and to change the rules at his whim. This airdropping is the equivalent of central banks tinkering with money supply and no different here really.

Part of me, in a very gung ho way, would like to just dump all the byteball onto the market in one huge load to byteball holders according to the amount of bytes they hold (not bitcoin holders), without pre-announcing it. This unexpected windfall would cause huge waves. But at the same time, in one quick shot remove all the prolonged uncertainties about distribution. Like ripping a plaster off quick is better than peeling off slowly.

Thats what I'd like, then we can get on with using byteball.

Does somebody know if there will be a airdrop this month?

Or will we skip this one?

I'll decide and announce the plans for future distribution around mid-November.  But it is already certain that we skip the December full moon.  The purpose of the free distribution is in acquiring new users, and we should use the remaining undistributed coins most efficiently.  That's why we are slowing down the distribution and gradually phasing out the method based on balances, which is not expected to produce much positive impact any more.  Cashback has already proved more efficient in terms of cost of user acquisition, albeit it is still slow.  Other product updates linked to the distribution are still in the making but not certain enough to speak about them now, I expect more certainty in the middle of November.

Wow, we can see the graph with Lisk name on it on the mother fucking CNBC today! This is awesome, here is the youtube video about it, its somewhere on 3 minutes and 45 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cCVAs1Nd7Q&feature=youtu.be&t=206

Lisk is dumbbbb and super imbalanced. I mean 70% of the coins belong to the top 100 people. Lol. All the noobs here playing with LISK to make the top holders wealthy. Slaves.

There are a lot of projects I trust and a lot I dont trust. Guess on which side Ripple is. To give you a hint Bitconnect is on the same side as Ripple.
