Hello everyone, This is a quick update to let you know applications for airdrop are currently being reviewed. There has been overwhelming interest in Decred and what the project is attempting to do. Please accept our apologies for the delay, as it was originally stated airdrop registration would open on January 4th, 2016, but due to the sheer number of participants, the new projected date for invitation e-mails being sent is January 8th, 2016. Invitations will continue going out over the weekend and early next week. Binaries to generate your Decred address will accompany the airdrop registration release as well as detailed instructions on how to use them and complete the process. Note that the airdrop application process will remain open until January 18th, 2016, and invitation e-mails will continue until prior to the launch of mainnet. Due to the interest and individual attention given to each application, a present delay of one week is anticipated for mainnet launch. Please keep an eye on this thread as updates will be posted here specifically about the status of airdrop registration. You can also post in this thread for further information about the process. As always, thank you for being here, contributing, and helping others in the Decred community developing on the forum and elsewhere. Sincerely, Decred Project UPDATES: 10:30 PM CST (01/08/16) - E-mails for the first batch are flowing out! Bear in mind you may not receive yours for a few days given the volume of participation. Adequate time will be made available for everyone to get confirmed. 05:30 PM CST (01/15/16) - Another batch of invitation e-mails are out. Remember to check your spam if you haven't whitelisted e-mail from decred.org. Airdrop sign up stays open over the weekend. 06:00 PM CST (01/17/16) - Airdrop sign up has closed. A final batch of invitation e-mails will go out tomorrow. 03:00 PM CST (01/18/16) - Final batch of invitation e-mails are sent. As always, make sure decred.org is whitelisted so you don't miss it. 11:00 AM CST (01/21/16) - The last completion reminder to participants who have not completed the airdrop process has been sent. All participants must have an address submitted by January 25th, 2016. Approved applicants cannot be included after this date.
Thank you for the update!! The excitement I have had for this project is huge! Been waiting nearly a month for the launch and now that its getting closer and closer the excitement just gets bigger and bigger! Keep up the awesome work im sure you and the team are doing! Once again thanks for the update!
If we already generated the address (using dcraddrgen) before the binaries were released, will it still work?
Thank you for keeping the community abreast of your plans. Better to have a small delay than to rush things...
could you post it when you are finished? I am setting up a basic rig myself next month, would like some pointers.
If you're not in the airdrop db and you don't have an online, please send me a PM on here with some backstory about yourself and your proposed contributions to the project so I can add you. Note that there is no ICO/IPO as these traditionally require those interested to pay for coins. There is only airdrop which is completely free to the community. The community will never be asked to pay for coins.
