Telegram Login is still active but I believe Passport has been canned because Telegram thought it was vulnerable to brute force attack and the did not want the possible liability if it was breached. I have sent an email to Sum and Substance to find out definitively if it is still available.

My opinion that FreeTon team should gave us more information about the privacy levl witch they are ready to interact with. Making fair Airdrop relevant.
For example - are they considering to collect people KYC ? or they fundamentally against it ?

In my opinion, a successful airdrop or any token distribution should have the following key features in addition to the basic points known for successful airdrop:
-
Promotion, through the airdrop can make more people interested in the project and not only limited to those who originally planned to participate.
-
Price discovery, for example, BTC is linked to a relatively stable electricity price through mining or ICO projects destroy unsold tokens to link the market value of coin prices.
-
Trading volume and liquidity, one of the reasons for preventing cheating accounts is to avoid letting a small number of people get too many tokens resulting in a decline in trading volume.
-
Avoid short-term speculation.
-
Low participation difficulty, to make almost anyone can participate.
Based on these points, I suggest a new way of airdrop that uses network resources to earn tokens. To build an app or even DApp, let the participant’s device to become VPN nodes. Publicly provide this huge amount of free VPN resources and reward nodes with Cystal. After the airdrop, it may even possible to be upgraded to a decentralized VPN service trading platform.
The advantages:
-
The global VPN service market is huge, and in recent years many people are worried about the privacy risks of commercial VPN services. If there is such a completely anonymous and many nodes, decentralized and free VPN, it will help the promotion of the project.
-
Although the price of network traffic is different between regions, it still has its existing price. Airdrop in this way can maintain sort of connections between the token price and the network traffic price.
-
If it can run as a trading platform after the airdrop, the first actual use of tokens is created, and the trading volume is created accordingly. In the IDC industry, many service providers have supported the purchase of services such as VPS with digital currency, which is one of the main uses at present.
-
The tokens earned per unit of network traffic can be properly controlled, then the airdrop phase can last for at least months. During this period, participants continued to receive tokens, and the promotion continued effectively, only to make speculators lose interest.
-
People who can see the information about the airdrop basically have Internet access, so everyone can participate in the airdrop.
To use network resources to earn tokens, there are other options like cloud drive, hosting service or even coin mining. However, this form of cloud drive and hosting service is difficult to maintain stability, and the performance required by coin mining may even be higher than our validators, which will lead to a decline in participation.

Airdrop proposal:
The overarching criteria ought to be network security, which would be best achieved by a wide, anonymous and equal distribution to as many engaged real individuals as possible. This can be achieved by participants performing a publicly auditable turing test on each other by time-constrained interaction with a smart contract.
-
Individuals prepare for the scheduled ceremony by creating a unique ‘incomplete’ ASCII image. The idea is that there exists some modification of characters which will seem sensible to another human, but that it would be reasonably difficult to create a program to infer a sensible modification. The point isn’t that there is a single, logical solution, but that human observers will be able to judge whether a modification is human-like.
-
Participants schedule to send their challenge-ASCIIs at a publicized block height to a special contract. The contract responds to each challenge-ASCII with a randomly selected challenge-ASCII from some other participant from the same block.
-
Participants create and send a response-ASCII that demonstrates their humanity. This response-ASCII must be received by the network within a specified number of blocks. This number should be small enough to make it difficult for one human consciousness to create multiple responses, but large enough for most humans to create a single response.
- Since we can’t count on every challenge or response-ASCII being a good test, the process is repeated for as many rounds as would be sufficient to make an accurate judgement of the humanity of each account. Those participants not judged to demonstrate good faith human participation by some kind of public audit will be ineligible for the airdrop.
Discussion:
Besides being a means to achieving fair, anonymous distribution to engaged individuals, the primary benefit to the on-chain approach is that it familiarises participants with the technology, and in doing so showcases the capabilities and ethos of FreeTON itself. There’s no “KYC”, or trust in other software, or data custodians. Just the awesome potential of fast, transparent, programmable immutability.
Neither does this method promote tacky referrals, or incentivize brand-destroying shilling. The coins are most likely to end up in the hands of people who actually value them.
As for incentivizing the signing of the DoD and joining Telegram channels: my view is that doing these things is creeping centralization and need not be essential with this distribution technique, however, they could be made essential and may provide advantages in implementation. For instance, information could be emailed to DoD signers that is necessary to interact with the airdrop ceremony contract, which may make the ceremony harder to interfere with. Perhaps posting something in the Telegram channels could be part of an authentication process.
I make no claim that this specific process is optimal, it is primarily intended to illustrate the possibility of, and advantages to, fair distribution through human interface with FreeTON.

If the goal is to effectively promote TON to the masses, and not just make money on hype and a short speculative jump, then at least it is worth paying attention to the history and results of Stellar airdrops, which, in an attempt to correct Ripple mistakes, made a number of its own mistakes. The final result of attempts by multi-billion Stellar airdrops can be found in the statistics of their network (https://stellar.expert/):
Total accounts: 4,474,472
Daily active accounts: 14,778
(at 22.05.2020)
CoinMetrics analysts came to the conclusion that various airdrops conducted with Stellar Lumens either do not particularly attract users or lead to the mass sale of cryptocurrencies after the distribution of XLM. Experts note that airdrops do not work as a means of increasing the “decentralization, popularity and use” of an asset.
Based on the practice and mistakes of other projects, as well as on the basis of our own experience in attracting a multimillion audience to our project, without any advertising and marketing costs, and the presence of negative experience (over 100 million attracted unique users and losing about 70% of them), please, read and carefully analyze our proposal for Airdrop Mechanics for FreeTON:

This is an option with changes. Because I am constantly considering how best to do it. In general, I propose to conduct a very interesting and lengthy campaign. (changes may be made at the discretion of the organizers) In my campaign, I would like to add as many tasks as possible for user interaction with a drop, passing tasks and the like. Firstly, you need to immediately position the campaign as a very interesting quest. Secondly, every interaction between the fraudster and the account will increase the risk of exposure. We can’t make the fraudster create an account, complete tasks and forget. And then he collected and sold coins.
The execution process itself consists of 2 periods: 1) standard execution of an air drop and
2) subsequent tasks to unlock tokens.
There are rewards for joining and referral rewards.
- Start: this is a referral link that sends us to the site, where we can continue to execute on the site, or go to the wallet application.
It is worth explaining that already at this stage the site should collect the necessary information to track fraud.
Next, several social networks are attached to the participant’s account. The tasks of the airborne assault are being carried out: subscriptions, reposts.
The application should also monitor the parameters that will help fight fraud: IP, device activity (so that it is not an emulator) and the like. - I propose to introduce the following item: confirmation of the account by other participants *:
Can you imagine ?! it should be interesting. Each other’s people are asked to verify their accounts. Suppose there are 2 guarantors. (at the discretion of the organizers: to make an endless or limiting the number of confirmations from one participant) But it must be warned that if a person confirms “fake accounts” then for this he himself may be blocked (a penalty system for example - that is, if you suspect confirmation of several false accounts - that’s a ban) At first glance - this may seem like a strange and useless idea - but our task is to complicate the life of scammers and make the process interesting.
- I propose to introduce this item closer to the end of the 1st period (of the performance of standard tasks in social networks)
- the next period (tasks) should include interaction with the interface and services of the product, as well as training in some kind of theoretical knowledge
This period is held after the first and is needed in order to “unlock” coins. Suppose first we see the simplest tasks: enter the application and click the “receive” button. Then the tasks change (repetitions are possible) - send any transaction to a friend (this is a cool task that will demonstrate the speed of the transaction) in order to click the “receive” button. Tasks are also added at the discretion of the organizers: what the organizer believes that users must be able to use the product. It is also possible to add tests with questions. Suppose: to press the “receive” button on this day, you need to answer 1 or 2 questions of the product test (the list of answers is shown in random order) In general, I suggest that this period be conducted for at least 2 months (more can be done). Unlocked rewards are sent to wallets monthly. It is also possible to do this in the form of a task (keep a certain number of coins in your wallet - which the user received earlier)
So, summarizing: 1) we kill all birds with one stone: fulfillment of social tasks, 2) interaction with the product, 3) Fight against fraud - life is complicated for the conditional fraudster to the maximum, and detection taking into account the number of interactions is close to 100%
In this option, I completely ruled out identity verification using documents. But you need to tighten to the maximum the technical features of the fight against fraudsters and follow the path of locks “at your discretion.” those. machine discretion.

Я предлагаю распределить монеты не каким то одним методом(победителем этого конкурса в чате) а несколькими разными методами. Т.е. 5% монет распределить по механике метода победителя, 2% по механике метода занявшим второе место. 1% по третьему методу. По 0.1% от общего числа монет распространить по методам занявшим с 4 по 10 места. А также другими механиками среди пользователей сервисов FreeTon. И.т.д.
Избежать полностью мошенических акаунтов при этом сохраняя анонимность учётных записей маловероятно что удастся. Поэтому я предлагаю распределить примерно 1% между акаунтами по принципу лотереи. Но чтоб уменьшить размер наживы мошеников провести алгоритмический скрининг каждого акаунта по результату которого присвоить иму некоторое количество лотерейных билетов от 1 до 16 . Далее на каждый лотерейный билет разыграть случайный коэффициент выигрыша от 1 до 8. Далее распределить весь котёл-банк между лотерейными билетами в соответствии с его выгрышным коэффициентом.
Данный принцип лотереи позволит уменьшить выигрыш мошеннических аккаунтов . И главное, в то же время позволит замаскировать ошибки неправильной скрининг-оценки уникальных(правильных) учётных записей.
Для привлечения новых клиентов и в то же время не доводя до похищения(расшифровке на результатах лотереи) алгоритма скоринга считаю возможным провести такую лотерею 4 раза с промежутком в 4 месяца.
Все цифры и коэфициенты примерные и могут меняться
Раздачу, подпись декларации осуществлять через телеграмм бот.
Для отсеивания лжеакаунтов желательна повторная проверка (подтверждение) телефонного номера к которому был привязан аккаунт Телеграмма при его создании. (Т.к. многие мошенники не будут длительное время хранить телефонный номер)

TONs distribution for first 1billion users
Dear fellow community members,
We all together going towards a big internet revolution through decentralized resources.
Our collectively aim is to engage 1billion users on FreeTON open network.
So to achieve 1billion user target I want to propose a airdrop mechanism for first 1billion users on FreeTON in following 3steps.
- Verification Process.(at least initially)
- Getting Smart-Contracted Airdrop Link.
- Claim Airdrop.
1. Verification Process
- Signing DoD
- Sign Up 2 Telegram Groups
User can be verified by Admins of telegram groups and Free TON website
2. Smart-Contracted Airdrop Link
Every verified user gets a Smart-Contracted Link on his verified Email Or Telegram account
3. Claim Airdrop
Smart-Contract ask for
Free TON Wallet
Public Address of
User as well as of Referrer
Every Smart-Contract releases a fix number of TONs distribute equally to
UserandReferrerboth
Smart-Contracted Airdrop Continuously decreases as UserBase increases
Smart-Contracted Referral Giver releases fix amount of TONs for a
Particular Batchof users
initially every Batch will have 10k Users.
after 100k UserBase every next Batch will have 100k Users.
after 1M UserBase every next Batch will 1M Users.
after 10M UserBase every next Batch will 10M Users.
after 100M UserBase every next Batch will 100M Users.
smart-contracted referral giver releases 256 TONs each for first 10k users and after that 10% decreased TONs for next batch users and so on…
according to this dynamics 4.25B TONs can be distributed to ~1Billion Users and that will be our target UserBase.
i have computed this dynamics and released Token Distribution Roadmap
you can read and ask any relevant question in comments.

The suggested mechanics (prank mechanic) is as follows:
Stage 1
- All the distribution is made through the wallet
- The wallet does sms verification (KYC part 1)
- After that the user creates the wallet and gets some preliminary tokens (let’s say 100 rubies)
- To complete the receival of rubies captcha is being used during wallet creation (KYC part 2)
- To proceed with Stage 2 the user connects his telegram account (KYC part 3)
Stage 2
- The user is notified that only the tokens which are being sent to other users might be later converted to the prime tokens (crystals)
- The tokens can be sent to any user in the telegram/address book of the user (through so-called referral transaction)
- To complete the referral transaction the sending user should complete the captcha (KYC part 4)
- The receiving user gets a message in Telegram that he has received the tokens
- To redeem the tokens the receiving user should either have a wallet or create a new one in the case of wallet absence (wallet-user connections are tracked centrally or through smart contracts)
Stage 3
- To distribute initial pool of airdrop a similar algo to pagerank (might call it personrank or just prank for simplicity) is completed.
- The graph of distribution is analyzed to find circular dependencies in networks graph similar to how search engines look for artificial link farms in the ranking algorithms (KYC part 5.1)
- The crystal tokens are distributed to all the participants who made external transactions in preliminary tokens rubies proportionally to the sum been sent and based on the deepness and branchiness of their receivers structure.
- The structure should be fairly branchy and not that deep and resemble human network structures (KYC part 5.2), the algo shouldn’t be disclosed beforehand, only the size of airdrop pool might be, to minimize tuning of bot farms and should in principal rely on common machine learning algorithms to determine bot clusters in web pages and social networks based on prank of sender, prank of receiver and sum being sent.
- The airdrop might be divided in several pools restricted by time and total sum to avoid DOSing of network and to leave the room for further improvements.

together with my first idea (“quest Turinga” © ) for the contest on airdrop mechanics, I want to offer together a second idea which I called “Frozen contest” . It is supposed to distribute a small part of the coins, for example, 1%.
This idea will help reduce the number of coins in speculative accounts.
10 user groups are created. To participate, the user must select one of 10 possible groups. The prize pool is divided into 10 equal parts between each of the groups, and does not depend on the quantity of participants. .
The difference between groups is that the participants of the first group receive coins , but they can use them only after 1 month . Participants of the second group share equally the coins intended for their group , but they can use the coins only after 6 months . Participants of the third group will be able to use their coins only in a year … 4 groups in 18 months of the year. 5 group after 24 months, 6 group after 30 months, 7-36 months, 7-42 months, 8 group 48 months . 9 group 54, 10 in 60 months.
The group will also differ in the number of coins that each participant will receive . and will depend on the number of participants is inversely proportional to. The more people in the group, the less coins they will get. Fake accounts and speculators will choose groups from 1 to 3, so their participants will get less coins.
It is very easy to implement such a mechanism for distributing and, most importantly, freezing coins through the mechanics of smart contracts.
The main advantage:
1 will avoid the collapse of the exchange rate of the TC coin for the first year, only 0.02 % of the coins will be unfrozen.
2 speculative-minded people who chose the first groups will get less coins than those people who agree to wait and imitate their coins in circulation (including on the exchange ) later.
