STRANGE Distribution PlansteemCreated with Sketch.

UPDATE: Effective Immediately the BitShares DEX Sign Up Incentive has been suspended and may be ended permanently. Due to extenuating circumstances the Incentive has not performed as planned and to prevent further abuse will be halted. Any current sign-ups will receive their 1,000 STRANGE and after that point no further Incentive Tokens will be distributed.


The time has come to unveil further details for the STRANGE Token Distribution Plan!

First the Details of the STRANGE Token:

And more background here.

MAXIMUM SUPPLY: 10,000,000 STRANGE

Reserve (to be burned if not needed):9.5%950,000

Explanation of categories:

The BitShares DEX Sign Up Incentive* -- SUSPENDED.

In fact, I have had 1 new sign up already, noconnor8, who I have sent the 1st sign-up bonus!

Token Design Contest Prize will have a REWARD of 0.5% of the total equalling 50,000 STRANGE Tokens.

More details of the Token Design Contest to follow soon!


Distribution to Current BitShares DEX Users of 70% which will be a total 7,000,000 STRANGE Tokens. According to http://cryptofresh.com/a/BTS there are at the time of this writing 38,146 Holders & Traders of BTS.

Using this number, I get 7,000,000 tokens ÷ 38,146 users = 183.51991 which will be rounded to 185 tokens each.

From what I have found on http://cryptofresh.com/, I have been able to identify only 5,186 users for which to send the initial distribution.

Once I begin the distribution 5,186 users x 185 tokens = 959,410 total tokens distributed.

The remaining tokens will be preserved between now and December 31st, 2017† for users who did not receive the initial distribution to contact me and I will be able to send them their portion. If the users who do not receive the initial distribution do not contact me by the deadline of December 31st, 2017†, then the remaining portion of 6,040,590 STRANGE tokens will be burned, reducing the total supply.


Reserve (to be burned if not needed) of 9.5% of total, which is 950,000 tokens will be held to be used if necessary for other promotional endeavors, including but not limited to: additional sign-up incentives, additional STRANGE token contest, other advertising efforts, etc.

If they are not used by the deadline of December 31st, 2017†, then the remaining portion of STRANGE tokens will be burned, reducing the total supply.


The distribution will begin after the posting of this blog today and will go until I am able to finish the list of 5,186 users, at which time another post will be made.

Thanks, and as always:

Stay tuned.
Stay interesting.
Stay Strange.


UPDATE: Approximately 10% of the Distribution to Current BitShares DEX Users, so 10% of the 5,186 users on my list have now been distributed 185 STRANGE Tokens.


UPDATE #2: Over 50% of the Distribution to Current BitShares DEX Usershave now been distributed 185 STRANGE Tokens.


UPDATE #3: Over 75% of the Distribution to Current BitShares DEX Users list have now been distributed 185 STRANGE Tokens.


UPDATE #3: Over 75% of the Distribution to Current BitShares DEX Users list have now been distributed 185 STRANGE Tokens.

I am doing my best day and night, to get these out to you as soon as possible. If you haven't received yours, please be patient. Also, leave your BitShares name below so I can make sure you are on the list!

Is the distribution for the new accounts done automatically? How long does it take to have the new coins loaded to the accounts?

Not automatic, I am working on it, thanks!

First let me say... O_o I am very interested in seeing where this goes...

Secondly, Thank you for including me in the DEX user distribution.

This concept is interesting not just in the novel factor, but It may lead to a use for all the under developed and no-purpose coins out there. :)

I look forward to more posts to see where this goes and what help I can give.

Cheers - Glitch

Thanks!

Sounds interesting,

good to go!

Thank you @strangerarray, was a pleasant surprise to see a sharedrop this morning.

A few questions starting to float around as word spreads:

  1. Is there a difference for the sharedrop distribution to lifetime members vs standard account holders , or everything is equal?
  2. Is this open to all accounts to request if they did not receive during this distribution period?
  3. With the 'suspense' around what the token is for (vague in posts), do you have an update as to the future or is that still part of the mysterious fun?

Thanks, yes working on this all, very much to do.

  1. Basic and Lifetime membership both get 185 STRANGE drop.

  2. All current open accounts get 185, I have only a list of a little over 5,000, but have STRANGE tokens reserved for more accounts to get 185, but will need their names to be able to distribute to them.

  3. Vague is the best I can do at the moment. I am working on this and will give a report as I go and add more when possible. Mysterious fun, yes, and hopefully more!

Thank you - I will spread the word :-)

I haven't received any :)

10-4, I will make sure you do, thanks :)

Thank you :)

Hi, interesting. Reading up on it. I havne't received mine yet. Address: gx-1
Thanks!

Hello, thanks for your interest!

You should be getting yours soon today!

I am excited to have received STRANGE in my openledger.io account! Thank you! How cool is that! I was so excited, I bought some more. Problem is... I have NO CLUE WHAT IT IS.

I've been browsing through your blog for some ideas and I'm still clueless. I appreciate the gift, but tell me, why do I want to hold on to STRANGE? @ironshield

Honestly, maybe you do, maybe you don't. I can't make that call for you. However, I am thinking up more ideas every day and will provide a report of the distribution process once I have completed it.

If you want to be a part of this STRANGE project, that's great!

Buy, Hold or Sell your gift and well, like I said, this is a "shoot first, ask later" sorta deal, so you know....

One reason to HODL for now is that the value will increase when the supply decreases when the burn happens on Dec. 31st, 2017.

Thanks for the STRANGE!

Cool, may i please have some Strange. Account: pepsmit1, thanks

Thank you.

this sounds neat! exploratory crypto artistry. i'd like to become strange, too -- my BitShares account is r-t-c

thanks, check your account +185 STRANGE :)

Just saw this on my dex. Thanks for including me :-)

cool beans

cool - i got some strange LOL - there's gotta be some script you can run to find all the users and automate ;)

right, yeah... good idea, I am not a programmer, so maybe I can learn something quick, or find someone who can do it?
