(Used google translate)
Make an event of grand scale within the blockchain technology.

  1. Present as the world’s largest airdrop.
  2. Set a date. For example, June 1, 4:20 utc. run report on time.
  3. Users will have exactly 1 minute to download a wallet.
  4. Close wallet download for a while. (After airdrop)
  5. To everyone who downloaded, give out tokens.

Advantages:

  1. A minimum of bots and fakes will be able to download and install a wallet. (Make a download with a simple task to reduce the number of bots)
  2. All community blockchain will wait on June 1 at 4:20 (or another time)
  3. Tokens will be received by the most active users.

Minuses:

  1. The site for downloading the wallet can fall at 4:20 and then everything will be very sad.

P.S. It is impossible and unnecessary to get people to sign a declaration. Make groups subscribe too. Whoever can sign the declaration if they belive in idea. People themselves can subscribe to groups, if you just ask them and them want to help community.

There is no way to protect from fake accounts ANYWHERE, even if you will check all accounts manually. The best way to protect is to make bot process automation as hard as possible.

So, there will be following protection scheme:

  1. New Telgeram account creating (Mobile number worth the money anyway).
  2. Bot have to join two groups, each of which will also have its own protection from bots. For example, when entering the chat room, the chat-bot asks the question “how much is 12+37” and offers four buttons with options to choose from. The question and buttons are generated randomly each time. The chance of accidentally passing through the protection in one chat is 25%, so the chance of double guessing is 6.25%. You can lower these chances just by adding more buttons.
  3. The bots will then have to return to airdrop-bot and fill out and accept the declaration of decentralization, which also complicates the process.
  4. The last one - airdrop-bot will ask to solve the CAPTCHA before sending tokens. It’s also very hard to bypass, and it may cost some money too.

So, in summary: It’ll cost money for abusers (new SIMs, captcha solving), some stages like entering 2 chats can be done only manually (or automatically with 6.25% or lower chance of succes), and writing automation for a bot like that would be pretty hard and time consuming.

To attract new * UNIQUE* users to Free TON and filter out robot multiaccounts collecting drops, we must:

      • cross-surety offline** - which means: three (or more in the following stages) people already familiar with offline create their own group in Telegram + add a special bot to it.
        2* * one person -one account* * limited to the physical ability of a person to be offline in only one place and perform only one task .
        3 * * proof of Human** is proved by the fact that all three participants at a certain time gather in one place, to one apartment, in the kitchen and jointly perform the task-captcha.
        4 * * one moment for everyone on the planet** - at one pre-announced moment in time , those who want to get drops must gather in threes offline, for example at the kitchen table and in 10 seconds have time to complete a simple control task and send confirmation of its completion(text or photo or audio file, depending on the task) to their created group for verification by a special bot.
        5 * * gamification** at later stages, tasks become more complex and become more complex, turning into a kind of quest, the unpredictability of tasks should be impossible for AI and bots to solve them, interesting tasks that you want to share with others, perhaps some will become memes, viral 10sec videos of their solutions
        6 inability for bots and solutions using AI . I expect to develop more than 10 stages of the quest increasing the unpredictability of the task and at the same time easy for people to resolve them within 10 seconds.
        7 geometric periodicity. for example dates 06,06,2020; 13,06,2020; 18,07,2020; 01,08,2020 ; 12,09,2020 ; 19,092020 - in the evening from Saturday to Sunday at 23 00 GMT.
        8…
        9…

Approximate example of completing the task for the first round(the result of completing three simultaneous photos of a shared installation in a telegram group):
gather the three of you at the kitchen table at 23 00. next “find the scissors in 10 seconds” next
“find a plate and put it on the table” next “open the scissors with the letter X and put it on the plate” next “in 10 seconds, take each photo” after 10 seconds, the bot closes the chat or makes a message in it and the photos that come after this are not accepted.
who managed to get the prizes. And those who had a plate with a blue border receive a double bonus !! To do this, write the word “double” in the chat , but keep in mind that if the prize is clearly deceived, it is reset to zero

I think the simplest and most reliable way to distribute tokens is through partnership with the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, for example Binance,

  1. It will exclude fake accounts and bots to the maximum, for example, give out coins only to accounts that have passed KYC, at the same time exclude US residents
  2. Binance it’s very cool to promote tokens giving various tasks to users, in our case, accept the agreement and subscribe to 2 groups

I think CEO of Binance СZhao supports such decentralized projects and could help promote tokens for any share of tokens

Спасибо.

Отвечу по поводу дополнений:

  1. Я думал над такой структурой, однако намеренно решил отказаться от неё, т.к. возникает очень сильная ассоциация с пирамидой. А отношение у людей к пирамидам сами знаете какое.
  2. Да, это хорошо сработает. Я думаю это произойдет органически - такое случилось даже с тестовыми граммами, я видел как парикмахерские и такси начали принимать их в качестве оплаты за услуги. Даже несмотря на то, что везде говорилось что это тестовые монеты и никому они не нужны.
  3. На стадии эйрдропа такое не сделать - токен не имеет стоимости, рынок услуг не сформирован. Опять же, производство продукции с логотипом займет немало времени и потребует вложения реальных денег.
  4. В будущем - возможно, это неплохой бонус. Но сейчас это неэффективно.

The more actions a user needs to complete - the less chance that he will reach the end.

This is the main problem with protection - it complicates the process not only for bots, but for real people too. Your ideas are good in terms of protection, but don’t forget that people are extremely lazy. You will never cover huge audience with such complicated tasks.

The main thing is to find right balance between making it simple for people and difficult for abusers.
You’re thinking in the right vector, but try to imagine that your grandmother or seven-year-old son is trying to get some coins.

Will they be able to cope with such tasks?

It seems to me that nothing has been invented better than network marketing. It covers the whole world like a web. Its effectiveness is not in doubt.
It doesn’t matter what you use, telegram, youtube, or many other channels, or maybe they will hand out leaflets on the street.
People should decide for themselves what to use, what is in its Arsenal and what opportunities it has. You don’t need to think about it, let those who want to distribute tokens think about it.
My opinion after registering the wallet, you get a referral link and a referral code (the code is needed if it is impossible to pass a complex link, to be able to pass a simpler code).
If a person registers without a link, he gets one number of coins, if he comes through a referral link or code, he gets a larger number of coins. This will protect distributors.
It will be profitable for the referral to specify the code or click on the link when registering.
I also think that you need not just a referral system, but network marketing, when you get tokens not only for the person listed, but also for the people listed by your referrals.
I also believe that tokens should be allocated to encourage physical and charitable actions, as this may attract the attention of the media.
But this is a different competition, people should offer their ideas, report on them and receive additional bonuses.
And how to protect yourself from bots and fecal accounts is more a question for techies, not the General mass. And in theory, this should also be a separate competition for protection during registration.
It should not be related to the distribution of tokens, but purely a competition for options for protection from bots during registration.
As I think you need to consider registering by phone number with checking the ip and imei of the phone or the configuration of the hardware, as the creators of the software check.
Or, a person should attach a link to any social network where there are messages dated last year. I think it will not be difficult to write a robot that will check the date of public record histories on its page.
We hack the software of such giants as Microsoft and Adobe, and they invest billions in protection. So, I don’t think it’s safe to completely protect yourself from a fake.

In General, in short, my thought:

  1. Network marketing, referral system. Interested people will choose their own method of attraction.
  2. Encouragement of physical and charitable actions. A separate competition for ideas and their implementation. Add bonuses and a report on them. This will give you the opportunity to additionally be highlighted in the mass media.
  3. A separate competition protection upon registration to people who know, not just for your ideas and for assistance in implementation.

Validating real users and bots
You must enable KYC process and include social media tasks (Twitter is best platform to advertise)
The longer the process the hard it will be for the bots to finish.
You can manually flag accounts which looks suspicious.

I would add the posiblity of locking or signaling Ethereum to join the airdrop. Take a look to Edgeware airdrop.

And we could attract a huge amount of ethereum users, even exchanges, companies… Exchanges could offer to their users the airdrop also… that could be a good starting point for TON.

All the airdrops like “write this” “design this” are not serious, those are bounties, and I agree with them, but they are not an airdrop system. With an airdrop, you aim to get a wide and fair initial distribution, if it’s possible to your target users, that’s what we can achieve with Ethereum.

The most effective way to weed out bots and fake accounts is to distribute tokens using centralized platforms using video KYC and/or use tools that identify users by Mac and IP address.
The second way to make participation with a large number of multiaccounts more complex and time-consuming. As with the first option, this does not guarantee 100% elimination multiaccounts.

Activities
The idea is to motivate users to start using FreeTon for Its intended purpose. Activities should not be aimed at a specific category of people, so that everyone, regardless of their interests, skills, abilities, and free time, can participate in the activity. For a more uniform distribution of tokens, events should be 2-7 days long and take place in waves using various activities. Below are examples of activities that can help to do this.

Activity #01
The participant must write a post (telegram):
Any story or problem that participant wants to share with the community (story must somehow related to TON?) Make a limit on the minimum number of characters.

Activity #02
The participant must write a article, video or other material related to FreeTon

Activity #03
Any other activity: a small film, photo, handmade (drawing, craft, graphics) using FreeTon symbols.

Activity #04
Inspectors and inspectors supervisors - a group of people who will monitor compliance with the rules and conditions of the competition and receive an award for this. (For example: identifying duplicates/copy paste, obscene works or works that offend someone’s feelings)

Various daily activities (without referral bonuses)
Surveys on FreeTon knowledge. The organization of any flash mobs. Joint activities in social networks.

Conditions for receiving the reward:

  • The work must be published in one of the social networks (including Telegram) and contain a link to the official announcement of FreeTon activity, two groups of official FreeTon groups, Declaration of Decentralization and a call to join the activity (#JoinFreeTon)
  • The work must be unique and not use other people’s materials, it must not contain obscene elements or offend anyone’s feelings
  • The participant must join two groups Telegram: Contact @TONCRYSTAL Telegram: Contact @ton_crystal_news and sign a Declaration on decentralization
  • Participants can participate in each activity. The number of works for each activity is unlimited, but the reward will only be for one of them.

The link to the work and referral code (optional) is sent to the bot (specify the language in which the work is performed or not specified if the work does not require knowledge of a particular language) and published to the local language or international groups where anyone can view and evaluate the work :+1: :-1: It is desirable to create local chats where people can communicate (FreeTON ENG, FreeTON RUS, Free Ton CN).
Inspectors and supervisors must ensure that the work meets the conditions of activity.

Referral bonuses
Major information resources, media personalities, and bloggers should be given the opportunity to participate in the referral program. Participation in the Activity via a referral link gives bonus tokens to both parties. A referral bonus is issued if the work of a person who joined through a referral link meets the conditions of activity.

Reward system
The number of tokens depends on the type of activity.
The most creative works in each activity category are selected by judges or the community and share an additional prize pool. (for Example, double referral bonuses)

In general, the correctness of the airdrop is a very important component.
One of the main problems are scam accounts.
I participated in many airdrops. And some projects approached the fight against fraud in different ways.
As a result, for airdrop to be carried out correctly, protection from fraud must include comprehensive measures:

  1. Naturally no google forms and telegram bots (the most primitive projects do this
  2. Airdrop should be carried out, including checking the browser (cookies) + installing an application (wallet for example) that will track the mobile device. Also, the browser must be active. Perhaps you should add a special extension.
  3. Airdrop must be performed either in the application or on the site.
  4. If we add personality verification to all this, then the success vector of the campaign tends to rise. (verification of personality, although this contradicts the philosophy of crypto, but we are now talking directly about the distribution of generosity - this is not a forced occupation, therefore, whoever wants to, let him do it)
    Verification of identity is possible with cooperation with exchanges.
    If this is not the most famous, but a good exchange, then it will also be beneficial for her to conduct a campaign (to increase customers). I’ll cite the Stex exchange as an example (it doesn’t have to be it, but it’s quite decent as an option, because there will be a lot of participants and the exchange uses several contractors to verify users). That is, the exchange already has trusted customers + there will be many new ones.
    As a result: a comprehensive check will eliminate the influx of fraudsters. True, there is one thing but: for beginners, this will not be the easiest task. But on the other hand: with a weak system, there are more scammers

“–You will never cover huge audience with such complicated tasks.”–

But I think that through this “my door” we can get 20,000,000 quality people. And this is very good . You may also find other doors. My solution uses promotion : word of mouth, viral video, gamification of the process, adventure quest and positive competitive gambling emotions.
Neither a grandmother nor a 7-year-old child should be given crystals , and they will not benefit the project.(moreover, it is illegal to give currency to minors to other people’s children). We need to attract those who are able to cope with such quests, and the example that I described - it is very simple and I think that in the subsequent stages of the task will be much more difficult (by an order of magnitude) and the reward is the same

Ок . Рассмотрите максимально критически такой вариант.

  1. Юзер устанавливает кошелёк
    1.1. прям в кошельке подписывает декларацию
  2. Генерирует адрес.
  3. Кошёлек собирает все иемей телефонного аппарата (а их может быть больше одного)
  4. Отправляет всё это на сервер боту.
  5. Бот ответственный за раздачу проверяет есть ли подпись под декларацией , подписан ли юзер на необходимые каналы и группы и сбрасывает ссылку в секретный чат аккаунта телеграм
  6. Юзер переходит по ссылке отвечает на вопросы/капчи и всю остальную хрень чтобы убедиться что он не бот
  7. По прохождению всей процедуры юзеру выдаётся ответ который он должен отправить боту
  8. После получения ботом ответа он начисляет на кошелек юзера токена

most of Telegram users are not gamer. They use Telegram as a messenger to make their life easier and many of them might not play a game even once a year. Even in case of applying a game I believe it should be done in Telegram. Other way may be referral through Telegram, like inviting other users to groups and making surveys. let’s ask people how the coins should be distributed, after they get a grasp of the TON meaning.

This idea is good for small geek communities, but it will NEVER work for mass attraction.

You guys are forgetting that the main audience isn’t you. The main task is to attract as many people as possible, most of whom have never had experience with cryptocurrencies.

Why do you think that they will spend their time on registration in an unknown service, solving puzzles whole day for getting SOMETHING with no value? Whats their motivation?

You have to look at the best products - TikTok, Tinder, Instagram.
The path from action to result is MAXIMALLY short. Liked the girl - swipe. Want to watch another video - swipe. Like - double tap.

We must provide the easiest way to get tokens. It shouldn’t take more than a minute, user don’t have to be a computer genius to do it - he just have to be able to push the buttons.

Imagine you’re a man who’s never been interested in cryptocurrency, and you’re offered to sit for a couple of days solving a captcha like a monkey to prove you’re not a bot. And all this in order to get unknown tokens with no price. Is that a tempting offer? I don’t think so.

That’s the second question - motivation.
The user should see the benefit of receiving the tokens. What benefit can there be? The tokens can extremely go up in price. Motivation is to get rich. Greed and fear of losing an opportunity are great motivation triggers.

So, advertising must be simple, like:
Get your chance to become extremely rich!
Claim your TON tokens FOR FREE until their price pumped up to heaven!
Just add @GetFuckingRichBot and follow the instructions.
Good luck!

And that’s it.
Anyone could spend 1 minute to get a chance of becoming rich.
Easy-to-do instructions, clear motivation.

Think about it.
