ENG. I believe that the airdrop should bring popularity to the project, so the participants must make sure that they make efforts by advertising the project on such resources as twitter, facebook and other social networks as well as on cryptocurrency forums.
We need to think about how to restrain the airdrop participants from selling their coins, for example, introduce conditions for holding 80% of the received drop and give an increased drop to those who will support the project financially or with their work.
Be sure to think of a scheme to deal with multi-accounts otherwise there will be no success.

RUS. Считаю что аирдроп должен приносить популярность проекту, поэтому участникам поставить условие чтобы прилагали усилия рекламируя проект на таких ресурсах как твиттер, фейсбук и других социальных сетях а так же на криптовалютных форумах.
Нужно продумать как сдерживать участников аирдропа от продажи своих монет, например ввести условия по холду 80% полученного дропа и давать увеличенный дроп тем, кто будет поддерживать проект финансово или своей работой.
Обязательно нужно продумать схему для борьбы с мультиаккаунтами иначе успеха не будет.

Я думаю, хорошим способом является выпуск временного токена на Ethereum и рассылка его по действующим адресам.
Тут есть несколько моментов, заранее создаётся лендинг оптимизированный под определенный ключ, делается снимок блокчейна, анализ его на выявление подходящих активных адресов (например наличие эфира больше 0.3, присутствие транзакций за последний год). Далее следует рассылка токена по этим адресам, причем количество отправленных монет должно быть уникальным , например 4.44444 токенов. Пользователи, получившие токены через поисковые системы выходят на лендинг, где описаны условия обмена и перспективы проекта. Таким образом можно привлечь примерно 200к активных пользователей криптовалют.

В идеальном варианте желательно иметь работающий маркетплейс, использующий в качестве оплаты криптовалюту (это же и есть наша цель, не правда ли?). Исключая нелегальные операции необходима ручная модерации объявлений, а объектами допускать только продажу недвижимости и автомобилей. Маркетплейс может быть виде веб-сайта или бота в телеграмме. Привлеченные ранее люди на лендинг должны узнать о возможности использования маркетплейса с использованием криптовалюты. Дальнейший рост привлеченных пользователей будет естественным, без использования дополнительных мотивационных действий.

I think a good way is to issue a temporary token on Ethereum and distribute it to valid addresses.
There are several points, a landing page optimized for a certain key is created in advance, a blockchain is taken, its analysis is to identify suitable active addresses (for example, the presence of ether is more than 0.3, the presence of transactions over the past year). The following is the distribution of the token to these addresses, and the number of coins sent must be unique, for example 4.44444 tokens. Users who received tokens through search engines go to the landing page, which describes the exchange conditions and project prospects. Thus, you can attract approximately 200k active cryptocurrency users.

Ideally, it is desirable to have a working marketplace that uses cryptocurrency as payment (this is our goal, is not it?). Excluding illegal operations, manual moderation of announcements is necessary, and objects only allow the sale of real estate and cars. Marketplace can be in the form of a website or a bot in a telegram. Previously attracted people to the landing page should learn about the possibility of using the marketplace using cryptocurrency. Further growth of attracted users will be natural, without the use of additional motivational actions.

А как быть тем, у кого нет эфира и к чему привязываться к чужому блокчейну? Если покупать, то это будет поддержка чужого блокчейна. Пусть лучше желающие вложиться получат другой способ получить увеличенное количество монет, поддерживая разработчиков Фритона.

A lot of people promoting the idea of using Telegram as the main verification method. It has been my experience from doing many airdrops and bounties over the years that the area with the most fake and bot accounts is telegram. It is quite normal to see Telegram Bounties have over 95% of the accounts submitted being judged as fake. You may think that adding a cutoff date so you disqualify accounts created after the start of the contest eliminate this but there are people that control literally thousands of fake telegram accounts that they created years ago.

I think one of the best methods to eliminate fake identities is to use a well policed system that actively seeks out and eliminates fake accounts and also has a huge base of users of cryptocurrencies. That would be bitcointalk.org.

You could use a telegram bot to handle people signing up and completing the tasks but you could require that they add something to their bitcointalk identity to verify ownership.

С блокчейна эфира предлагается взять 200к активных пользователей, они в схеме используются как стартовый трамплин. Я наблюдаю за каналом в телеграмме где вручную продают недвижимость за криптовалюту, со стороны людей есть очень большой интерес
Но отсутствие фильтров объявлений усложняет доступ к информации. Тут нужен качественный маркетплейс. Нечто подобное видел у проекта sys, они разрабатывают децентрализованный маркетплейс, но на их платформе практически отсутствуют продавцы/покупатели.

Hello everyone!
There are certain nuances that cannot be overcome when creating a token distribution scheme. For example, one of the tasks sounds: «very important: establish protection against bots and fake accounts». The network itself is decentralized, it is very important to achieve anonymity of users. Under conditions of anonymity, it is impossible to exclude bots or fake accounts from the token distribution scheme. But they can be minimized to an insignificant level.
The scheme that I propose is based on the following basic principles:

  1. It is impossible to implement the distribution of tokens only through games or any other content that not all users use. It should be possible to use the network by absolutely all interested users to the fullest, no matter what their area of ​​activity, level of education, knowledge.
  2. You cannot use another blockchain platform. The independence of the FreeTon network itself is lost.
  3. The project is tied to Telegram. Moreover, distribution is possible through the participation of other messengers with their invitation to Telegram.
  4. The most appropriate distribution scheme - a referral program with bonuses.

How is it possible to maximize the protection against bots and fake accounts, while maintaining the anonymity of network users? My opinion is that mandatory binding to Telegram user name, as well as the email specified in declaration of decentralization, is required.
How would this happen?! I propose the following scheme:

  1. A user installs a wallet on his device (personal computer, tablet, phone).
  2. In the wallet, a prerequisite for starting its use (receiving tokens, implementing a transaction), you must enter the username in Telegram and email address.
  3. Declaration of decentralization signed earlier on freeton.org also contains a Telegram username and email address.
  4. To activate the wallet, you must confirm that such a user has signed a declaration of decentralization.
  5. An email address will be sent to your wallet activation email. To confirm, the user needs to follow the link in the letter
  6. The username and e-mail specified in the wallet will find a match with the username and e-mail specified when signing declaration of decentralization. The user will confirm (clicking on the link in the email) the desire to activate the wallet. The wallet is activated.

What could be the problem? The following options:

  1. On one device multiple accounts are registered in Telegram with different usernames. A user can also have multiple email addresses. Several network users (one real, the rest are fake) are physically registered on one person. In any case, such cases will be (it is necessary to observe anonymity during decentralization), but their number will be minimized.
  2. An unscrupulous user can write off user names in groups in telegrams, activate a wallet on different devices. To exclude such a case, mandatory binding also to e-mail is required.

How will the distribution of tokens? According to the following scheme:

  1. Users who signed Declaration of Decentralization and activated the wallet are general referrals. The number of such users at the time of the beginning of the distribution of tokens can be no more than 8000 people (presumably). It is the data of 8000 users (their number is presumably) that will distribute tokens to society. Mandatory requirements for general referrals: signing of declaration of decentralization, wallet activation. After fulfilling these mandatory requirements, general referrals receive 2,000 tokens each (total will be used at this stage 16,000,000 tokens).
  2. After the general referrals receive tokens to the wallet, the referral link will be automatically activated. The general referral will distribute tokens to other users (who at the initial stage did not sign declaration of decentralization) in any way (which do not contradict the law). Before starting the distribution of tokens, it is necessary to make the signing of declaration impossible.
  3. The user who goes and registers using the link of the general referral will be the first level referral. Tokens will be automatically credited to their wallet (their quantity will be 4 times less than the reward of the general referral. The reward of the first level referral will be 500 tokens). The general referral will receive a reward for each first-level referral in the amount of 10% of the level of remuneration of the first-level referral’s remuneration (thus the additional remuneration of the general referral will be 50 tokens).
  4. The user who goes and registers using the link of the first level referral will be the second level referral. Tokens will be automatically credited to their wallet (their quantity will be 4 times less than the reward of the first level referral. The reward of the second level referral will be 125 tokens). The first level referral will receive a reward for each second level referral in the amount of 10% of the level of remuneration of the second level referral. The general referral will receive a reward for each reward of the first level referral in the amount of 10% of the reward level of the first level referral (thus, the additional reward of the first level referral will be 12.5 tokens, the reward of the general referral will be 1.25 tokens).
  5. This scheme will continue until the fifth level. The fifth level will be the last. This is justified by the number of users involved and the coin distribution scheme. It is assumed that each general referral can attract up to 20 first level referrals. A first level referral can attract up to 15 second level referrals. A second level referral can attract up to 10 third level referrals. A third level referral can attract up to 10 fourth level referrals. A fourth level referral can attract up to 3 fifth level referrals.
  6. The number of users who can register using the referral link can be limited to these figures (these figures can be distributed in another way).
  7. According to the scheme, the total number of network users will be 987 million people (excluding the number of validators). 4.9 billion tokens will be distributed (excluding rewards of validators).

Benefits of the scheme:

  1. Each user should not have special skills
  2. Each user can distribute tokens in any way convenient for him. No need to connect to third-party resources.
  3. An increase in the number of Telegram users.
    I calculate the distribution of tokens according to the scheme on the Google resource: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yJx2HdlINOdDOtu27yJ5zfwSSKRHPw7q

Thanks to all!

I have just been told that to be a member of the jury that chooses the airdrops proposals you have to be a validator. I wanted to lend my considerable expertise in airdrops and bounties to help the community select the best proposal but it seems that a democratic vote was held by validators that only they would judge the proposals. Seems people like me are wasting our time here.

Есть небольшое дополнение, если использовать реферальную систему, было бы неплохо генерировать ваучеры на получение монет, шифровать их в qr код с добавлением логотипа телеграмм и freeton + надпись с призывом, что то вроде “financial revolution” для печати и наклейки на улицах. Люди будут “охотиться” и искать для сканирования новые, не использованные стикеры. В этом методе формируется узнаваемость бренда freeton, и формируется приток новых людей, которые случайно заметили стикер с qr кодом, просканировали его и изучили информацию.
Можно реализовать такую акцию, добавив несколько ступеней интриги, чтобы максимально заинтересовать и увлечь человека, постепенно раскрывая информацию и вознаграждать после выполнения определенных действий. Получается что-то в стиле акций “cicada 3301”.

Google translate:
There is a small addition, if you use a referral system, it would be nice to generate vouchers for receiving coins, encrypt them in a qr code with the addition of the telegram logo and freeton + inscription with an appeal, something like a “financial revolution” for printing and stickers on the streets. People will “hunt” and look for new, unused stickers to scan. In this method, the recognition of the freeton brand is formed, and an influx of new people is formed who accidentally noticed a sticker with a qr code, scanned it and studied the information.
You can implement such an action by adding several stages of intrigue in order to maximally interest and captivate a person, gradually revealing information and rewarding after performing certain actions. It turns out something in the style of stocks “cicada 3301”.

Quote:

Then there will be a Telegram-bot, which gives out 4 tokens in one hands.

Whoever owns the Telegram bot owns the tokens distribution channel

A person (or a team) who runs the Telegram bot can compromise the whole airdrop by making a backdoor and stealing the tokens. How can we trust the team? Who is going to watch after them? Who is going to watch the watchers? Why should we trust all of them?

Из доки:

Далее запускается телеграм-бот, раздающий 4 токена в одни руки.

Владелец предлагаемого Телеграм бота будет по сути являться владельцем канала распределения токенов

Т.е получается что какойто один чел (или команда) которая будет хостить этого бота на какомто сервере может зафакапить весь airdrop тупо распределив себе на разные адреса по 4 монеты через специально подготовленный бэк-дор. Почему все вдруг должны доверять какойто команде? Кто будет делать аудит того что они там запустили? Кто будет проверять самих аудиторов (может они в доле)? Вобщем предлагаемая схема эйрропа выглядит так: под видом защиты от ботов автор пытается легализовать схему увода токенов.

Эта команда - команда FreeTON.

Потому что без них не было бы этого форума, проекта и эйрдропа.
Никто не будет делать аудит.
Никто не узнает, осядет ли часть токенов в карманах у команды.
Но одно известно точно - без них никто не получит токены.

А, ну теперь стало понятнее. Вероятно что все это и замутили чтобы первыми монополизировать канал распределения токенов. А этот contest для видимости чтобы “легализовать” непрозрачную схему эйрдропа.

If someone tells me what’s the value of the token, then I can tell how to promote it.
Currently it looks like finding the way to tell people that something without value is very important for them. Sorry but that’s true.
So, the main question is how to add that value, at least some minimal. Above idea about small business is not bad, but it should be scaled wide and that is the problem, especially that not the business requre that integration, but another part.
There need something that user can exchange token for and then people will take quises etc. to get the tokens.
I think that another idea about “to get rich” is also not bad it’s ‘dirty’, but can work, it adds the value (mentally). The disadvantage is that it can hit to the token reputation.
So, to have a plan and strategy I’d advice to collaborate with PROFESSIONAL marketers if anyone from the comunity can interest them, because they know best how to sell things. Anything else looks like a small project for limited audience.

Once again I’ll insert my 5 cents.
No bots and google forms. So do the most primitive projects. It is not only not safe, but also it is not respectable. In addition, Free Tone should not seem to have anything to do with Telegrams. Okay, the bottom line is in the drop itself.
So, if we discard ideas with walks with augmented reality (now all the same, a pandemic on the street is not safe for people, we do not want to worsen the situation)
Standard circuit:
Execution occurs on the site and in the application.
Mandatory binding of several social networks, phone number, mailbox - for verification.
The site and application also track IP address and other parameters that will help filter out scammers.
After the end of the coin is not immediately distributed. But you need to go to the application or to a specific site daily (go through captcha) and click on the “pick up a coin” button. At the end of the month, coins fall on the wallet.
Thus, it will be more difficult for fraudsters to change their IP addresses and log into each fake account.
And real users will get used to the application.
You can also add tasks in order to click the “pick up a coin” button. Example job: send any transaction to a friend. This will show users the speed of the blockchain. Because Bitcoin, for example, would send a transaction a couple of hours.
Another important point is the verification of documents. This is at the discretion of the organizers. Documents are also sold on the darknet (or in less-than-prosperous countries), but this is an additional obstacle. I wrote that this can be done together with the exchange. Because exchanges need new customers. And Free Tone will be very popular. This is a peculiar symbiosis.
During airdrop, as well as during additional tasks, all parameters are monitored. And if there is a reason - fraudulent entries are blocked.
As a result: people get portions of the coin. Do not sell them immediately. You can also include it as one of the following tasks: keep 20 coins (which were received earlier) in your wallet in order to collect the following.
Or even this: you go in a row for 7 days - you can pick up more coins. Here, the main thing is fantasy. Hope the meaning is clear. I do not pretend to be first, but there is logic in my words, keep this in mind)

I would prefer a solution that does not require people submitting Identity documents. We don’t need to identify the participants. Just insure that they are unique.

I support your point of view. And he wrote that it was at the discretion of the organizers.
Even a document check will not bring 100% security. But will double in the complex.
But this is hindering popularity.
A double edged sword.

#147

And the main message I wanted to do was this:
that after the end of the airdrop, the coins need to be distributed proportionally, adding some tasks that imitate the use of these services.
It will also help to filter out false accounts, because it will be very difficult to log into the same accounts every day, while maintaining their anonymity.
And holding an airdrop - I don’t think that it is necessary to reinvent the wheel: standard procedure (just refuse bots and Google forms)

Validators are only nominating Jury not necessarily are judging themselves. But someone need to put their tokens where their mouth is. Thank you for your valuable feedback. Let’s be in contact towards the weekend.

Если я правильно понял, есть проблема как выдать кристаллы, но так чтобы сохранить максимальную анонимность, но при этом избежать ботов и мультиков.
Предложение трудозаьратное, но возможное: создать серийные номера кошельков, и разослать серийники по обычной почте, с вручерием в руки.
Выглядит это так: человек регистрируется, вводит имя получателя и адрес (город, дом, кв). генерируется серийник и отправляется почтой в конверте, тот получает, вводит его в кошельке, и на его балансе оказываются кристаллы.

Summing up the problems to be solved:

  1. Privacy.
  2. Protection from bots.
  3. Simplicity of process.
  4. Coverage of the audience.

In cases with KYC (registration using social networks, photo with documents, video KYC, IMEI binding, GPS, etc.) we get the following:

Privacy - bad.
Protection from bots - above average.
The simplicity of the process - average.
Audience coverage - average.

In the case of the above mentioned Id**a service:

Privacy - good.
Protection from bots - good.
The simplicity of the process - bad.
Audience coverage - bad.

In case of distribution via tg-bot without KYC checks:

Privacy - good.
Protection from bots - bad.
The simplicity of the process - good.
Audience coverage - above average.

Almost all the ideas from this topic gets into one of these groups.

So, i think that we can simultaneously launch all 3 types of distribution.
For example, first airdrop budget will be 30% of all token amount.
Airdrop reward will depend on complexity of method.

For example:

10% will be distributed via tg-bot, 10% via KYC, and 10% via Id–a.

User can choose method by himself.
For using tg-bot he will get 5 tokens, for KYC - 10 tokens, for Id–a - 15 tokens.

After time (1-2 months maybe) we can analyze which method is the most effective.

Other 70% will be distributed by most effective way.

All our guesses are worth nothing without testing them.
