What happened:
Nominex had their bounty back in August 2020 and ended by September. Listed on their payment rule is below:
Our bounty rewards are credited instantly - no need to wait for the end of the tokens distribution.
It was later revealed in their telegram channel that although these token were credited to each account directly, these token
can not be moved, sold, transferred, traded, or any other thing other than used as a discounted trading fee. In other words, these payment token were as good as being locked or uncredited for onky god know how long.
Nominex themselves planned to distribute their token on
April 2021, which later announce to adapt DeFi and move the distribution forward to an unspecified time around end of 2020. In spite of that, there is a new revelation that bonus token (which consist of
bounty, daily demo trade, and real trade) will be gradually released proportionally for
three years. Yes, THREE YEARS.
Bonus NMXs will be distributed during 3 years, each day.
It means, suppose you have
300 NMX (which roughly valued at the same amount of USD), you'll get
0.27 NMX or probably around 35 cent at best, daily, for three years. Assuming the dev didn't run away with the money or being left by their community and price crashed during the course of 3 years.
The unbelievably long duration were due to their concern that releasing bounty at once will create a huge price dump. Getting curious as a hunter that feel being cheated, I summed the total token distributed for bounty as stated on spreadsheet, and the total were
68,781 NMX against their total supply of whooping
200,000,000 NMX. That was a mere
0.035%, clearly can barely affect price, especially if they believe in their own community.
Confronted about this, they state that there are 7,000,000 bonus token. And although bounty were merely 1% from this total bonus token (and infinitesimal against total supply), they still insist on gradually releasing the bounty token due to the said concern.
Recently I heard about
DEGO who withheld their bounty payment for 100 days. Well, this one clearly topped the case with
1,095 days
