Auroracoin Airdrop - should it have been staggered?

[ebliever]

As I watch with fascination the approach of the March 25 Auroracoin airdrop, I have to wonder: Why did they not stagger the delivery of coins to Iceland's population? For example, they could have scheduled it to release 10% of the coins allotted to each person each week or month until the release was complete. This way each person would have a vested interest in NOT tanking the value of Auroracoin by immediately dumping the first coins they get for some quick cash. They would be more likely to hold the coins they get early and watch them accrue, selling them only at need or when they can actually use them for some good or service.

If the Airdrop does go badly, and other nation-coins want to pursue an airdrop strategy, this might be something to keep in mind.

Not likely but anything could happen , my guess is we'll see everyone and their granny lined up to trade these coins for usd or gold/silver.

The current market cap already includes the pre-mine, so it can only go one way. Buckle up, it's going to be a free fall.

It won't be available.  At any rate, it ought to be pretty fucking amusing.  If you're still in this coin, you're fucked.

Agreed. We have created a brazilian currency (Sambacoin) with no pre-mine, and for massive distribution, we choosen to give people access through a official faucet, that is feed with a 2% fee of our official pool. So, we incentivate sambacoin miners to use our pool, as a social benefit.

Yes, we also think about using our national id and placing 25 SMB for id reward (like Spaincoin does), but that will not warrant that someone will fake a id (with a id generator) to get coins, and bad people take a lot of other coins for them.

Since the sambacoin release in 02/22 is being a good experience and some people are even selling coins in our local ebay:

It'll probably crash on the 24th when the devs sell out to beat the crowd.
