How is this improved if the goal is to distribute to as many people as possible? One person a week is as many as possible?
Add those who participate. Even if they don't win, they learn about byteball.
Why would anyone who doesn't already know about Byteball participate? Especially when you really only have a chance to win if you pay $10 to give/validate your identity to some relatively unknown Russian-based cryptocurrency (or buy a shitload of byteballs - a relatively unknown Russian-based cryptocurrency that is currently down 99% vs USD or something from ath). If people want to pay $10 to play the lotto there's many easier ways with likely much higher odds of winning than that. Sorry, I mean, I love gambling and lotteries, but this doesn't seem to be aligned with the stated goal of wide distribution.
Further, this is essentially heavily tilted towards whales, particularly whales that have been KYC'd, but whales in general. How does having a lottery that is extremely skewed towards people already rich in Byteball further distribution to more people?
To get the facts straight, the weight of whales is discounted by 90% if you read the rules, and there is of course no $10 charge for validating your identity.
Right, so take address #10 on the richlist for instance:
https://byteball.fr/Top100ByteballRichest.phpHe owns 10k GBYTE, meaning he would get 1000x entries into the lottery compared to someone holding 1 GBYTE.
This is my 1%. This money does not participate and is immovable until the distribution ends.
Also, I thought Jumio or whatever verification cost $10 or so. Is this not correct?
It is $8, which is refunded after successful verification (effectively $0 if you don't screw up), plus $12 is airdropped to a smart contract. If you use a voucher, you don't pay anything (referrer pays).
