Stellar rejected airdrop for 2 billion XLM.

Non-profit organization Stellar Development Foundation (SPF) refused to continue airdrop 2 billion XLM among users of the messenger Keybase. The reason in the SDF called the mass registration of fake users.



Neither SDK nor Keybase can filter such number of accounts. We don't want to reward people like that, and Keybase doesn't want users like that. We have decided to close airdrop, " the statement said.
On December 15, SDF will distribute the last 100 million XLM. This will bring the number of tokens received by users as part of the campaign to 300 million (about $16 million).
Earlier, the stellar Protocol eliminated the inflation mechanism, and the SDF burned 55 billion tokens.

airdrop is good, but if this keep continue giving stellar to people, the price of stellar will surely dump because some people can cheat it.

It was an obvious dead end, sooner or later this is how it is when there is no strict KYC for the ones you give them money (YES Stellar is worth real money like any crypto out there).

Airdrops are shit, all big projects should realize this fact.

You're all right. You need to do complex identity checks for such cool projects then it will be good and there will not be a large number of bots. And such well-known projects do not make sense to pay for the invitation of friends, only one amount in one hand.
