Why not eliminate the numerous accounts by IP address rather than the date of registration? More reasonable?
This would require creating an additional site/system such as the one faircoin created.
Once created, it would move applications away from the transparency of bitcointalk.
If this was being done on another site, that I or another team members controls,
what's to stop me or them from creating 1000 shares for ourselves?
At least this way (on BTCtalk), anyone and everyone can audit the list, to make sure there are no discrepancies in A. the number of coins being distributed and B. the number of legitimate accounts.
Doing as you suggested would also require us to spend time creating such a system. So we'd spend more time creating a flawed system that several people will take advantage of to a massive scale. Doing it here provides the quickest and most secure platform.
All though I will mention I'm getting very sick of these chinese scammers trying to pass off over 20 sock puppets.
I can imagine 10 chinese guys sitting around in a room creating bitcointalk accounts and signing up for giveaways all day. Sort of like what they've done for MMORPG gold selling. Makes me want to ban all chinese applicants in general. Is that what you assholes want? to ruin it for all chinese members?
Anyway, had some time to work on the wallet, fixed most of the gfx bugs. Will be pushing an update this week as well as sending out the quiz rewards on wednesday/thursday.
