You can prevent a large portion of double dippers by requiring bct usernames with X amounts of posts already, and then scanning the block explorer for the history of the address. While you can still get around this, its significantly more work to make 10 meaningful posts on a new account and create a new address just for a microPMC or two.
This was my thoughts exactly. 1 claim per account created before this month with at least 10 activity.
In this way we might have a handful of "double-dippers" but not on a large enough scale that it would skew the rewards in any one persons favor.
Well hello my new best friend
For me giving out small amounts is purely about spreading the concept of PMC to a wider audience, pure and simple. (so pure apparently that I used the word twice
)
An idea that I like, (not mine, I've seen other coins do this), would to be to host a 'PMCs for Answers' thread on Reddit. People ask a question about PMC and they receive PMCs in return, along with an answer...the better questions receive extra PMCs 9this is to stop people just asking the same ones...they'll make an effort to get more PMCs). You need Reddit tip bot an someone willing to start an active PMC community on Reddit around the questions thread.
For me this achieves a couple of things - it reaches a wider audience and it will clear up a lot of the misconceptions about the coin. It will also explain how the idea of transactions fees work and how having this experiment could benefit BTC and BTC clones.
It will then act as a reference link for when the same questions are posted here.
Hey there
one thing that comes to mind is really how many questions are there to be asked about PMC in general?
Most questions would be pretty basic. I liken the current state of PMC to NXT. The distribution has ended, there is no way for new players to get in other than to buy them. Why should they buy them?
0 inflation (all coins are already in existence)
not wasting massive amounts of electricity
pretty damn equal distribution unlike NXT where a few addresses hold like 70% of all coins.
Why should we give them away at this point? For example, if you asked people to give away bitcoin what would they say? They would say buy them or mine them, both of which require spending money in exchange for the coin.
So this is where we are.
What is the point of buying a coin if you are continually expected to give it away?
Rather than give away we should be making gentlemens agreements not to sell. If no one is selling then even small buys will raise the price.
