Just started airdrop test round 2. I'm currently taking about 21 seconds to send to each address, so it will take about 7 hours to go through the entire list. I'm not sure if I need to go this slowly, but sending too fast seemed to be the problem on my first few attempts (well, on first attempt I wasn't validating addresses and I had no error handling, so I just got a JSON exception when I hit a bad address). I tried once to use one second between sends, and then I tried to do no delay between sends, and it would make it through like 100-200 addresses and then the wallet would just stop responding, so the script RPC call would time out. I guess it was just overloading. So, I could probably go a bit faster, maybe 10 seconds between addresses, but 21 seconds worked the first time, so this will be like a double check...

I was on the original airdrop list and received 2x4810 TALK.
Now, one week later, received 3.141593 TALK again.

thanks to whomever sent me 4pi bcc (or talk)

I was on the original list. I received nothing until today, when I got 3.141593. Looks to me like someone has a pathetic sense of humor...
This turned out to be a total disappointment.

I know I shouldn't feel this way about anything that is given away for free, but, to be honest, the time it took me to download the wallet and subscribe for the distribution is worth much more than the pathetic reward I received.

One thing that I think would great for this coin is if someone could set up a tipbot that would operate similar to the reddit or twitter tipbots, but directly on btctalk forum. It doesn't seem like the site supports that type of operation with an API to send and receive messages, see this post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=629754.0

It probably wouldn't be too terribly difficult to put together, I don't think, but maybe a little beyond my capabilities and available time...

It was just a test, some free pi, out of my own personal wallet. I wrote a script and made it publicly available (look back a few posts) that automatically sent out coins to all users on the publicly available address list, to try and help the devs who seem to have been having some trouble getting that working. Sorry I upset you with my free coins

Hi all BTCtalk people on the list,

Last night/this morning I think everyone on the list should have received at least 3.14 coins (some near the top of the list probably received 2 or 3x that). These weren't related to the airdrop, they were my own personal coins (I'm not part of dev team). I've heard the devs are having some trouble with the airdrop, so I just wanted to write a script to see how difficult it would be to send coins to 1148 addresses. It took a few hours and several attempts, but I think I got everything sorted out.

For anyone interested (hopefully devs are interested in sending coins to everyone), here is the script that I used to send them all out:
http://pastebin.com/PmQmCgFf
It actually only ended up being 60 lines of python, and that is with excessive commenting and print statements.

And here is a list that was output by the script, showing everyone on the list and their tx id:
http://pastebin.com/gVbMBgAK

I hope you all enjoyed the pi...and please let me know if you have any questions or anything

Thanks !

If it wasn't obvious before, it should be now. lol  The technical difficulties were faked.. just as half the list on the air drop.

THIS COIN IS A SCAM.

I'm not ready to say it's a scam yet, but now the devs clearly have the tools necessary to send coins to all addresses on "the list", so there shouldn't be anymore "technical difficulties". If we don't all start getting regular airdrop payments soon, then maybe we can call it a scam.

Maybe you're unfamiliar with Hanlon's razor:
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."


Or maybe you prefer the Napoleon version:
"Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence."

Incompetent ? Most definitely as he is not the guy who coded this.

Its the story of the .2 BTC shitcoin !

Why is no one talking about the paid IPO ?

The newb laced air drop should have been enough. I'm amazed to see that so many remain optimistic.

What you got was from a community member and was a proof of concept to send coins to a mass amount of people, you will also receive an additional 4! Talk coins. The new devs did one round of 4000+ something coins sent to the first x amount of people on the list. I don't know why they have trouble sending the airdrop coins to the remaining people who registered.

BTW. try to have some sense of humor, you got a free pi pie!

Who doesn't like pie? Also feeling Lost?

[CryptoMorphos]

Most likely I dropped most shitkoins  http://joxi.ru/X0-HUxjKTJAuH2mOcEY  To get them back? Thank you for your charity!

[matt608]

I got 3.14BCC arrive too, when will the actual air drop happen?

Upvoted so the dev sees this so they can continue with the airdrop, you can adjust above to use it for the super faucet website.

I agree, it wasn't the greatest launch in the world, but at this point the 1% premine (650000 coins or so) is worth significantly less than one btc. I'm not even sure if the original dev is active. If we can manage to get the 49% airdrop premine out to the people who signed up for it, and maybe get a tipbot going on the forum, then it could have a chance to gain some value and a decent distribution.

[old fart]

When was the last payment anyone got from the dev?

[jwinterm]

When was the last payment anyone got from the dev?

I never got paid from official airdrop. I had to go on freenode IRC #BTCtalkcoin and ask Rawdawg to send them to me manually, and that was just once...

Don't use IRC unless you can mask your IP address.

Unfortunately I don't see a tipbot happening on this forum. It would require the bitcointalk.org admins to code it in because no one here wants to see thousands of posts with spam for people tipping.

I never got paid from official airdrop. I had to go on freenode IRC #BTCtalkcoin and ask Rawdawg to send them to me manually, and that was just once...

From my quick forensic research of the blockchain, and reading the thread, I found the followings:

When Rawdawg was asked by our phantom dev to sent out the Airdrop, he was asked to sent it  in weekly payments: about 20% per week. The first payment was on May 22nd - in all logic, we should expect another payment today.  He sent it out to over 1100+ addresses, like he previously mentioned on this forum.  Unfortunately, a bug in his scrypt sent coins twice, but to only 1/2 the people on the list....  Thus the 2 x 4810 coins that 1/2 the people received.  He sent out over 5.4 million coins that day - it is all documented on the blockchain. If you go back a couple of pages back, someone even listed the 5 or 6 blocks he used to sent them out.  The remaining balance on that first payment is still in address: http://www.cryptoblox.com/address/CV9mY8aTuPvJdhwCGh9JehgdhjykS3ZFrw - about 200k.

The original 31 million of the premine Airdrop was at : http://www.cryptoblox.com/address/CRrNurmyyjWeY8z91fa4JWeT8dLamKy97R

On May 21st, the 31 million got split into 25.4M (still at address http://www.cryptoblox.com/address/Ccve47NqKgUa5soLfU5Q7cudZUyaGkNET3) + 5.6M, where 5.4M got distributed (as described above), with an undistributed balance of 200k.  

From the initial airdrop (31M +), another balance of 959k is still available at http://www.cryptoblox.com/address/CN7gn4ghTpSD2KN3bDi5K15qpYAS6r8Pji. That is the balance Rawdawg used to pay jwinterm at his address CdoZhbgV82FMJphvJ8rCsEwqyxsPrdfa3g.  See block 20690.

I could not find traces of the IPO proceeds, or the other 1% (2 x 0.5%) premine that was intended for development, marketing and bounties - that alone represents another 600k coins.

Some nice work, they should just use jwinterm's script to send 9620 TALK to the other half of the airdrop script then everyone on the original airdrop list get the same amount of coins. Then use half of the remaining airdrop coins for people who added their address on the super faucet website and the other half for bounties, block explorers, faucets, marketing, ..
