Just the post I was looking for today. It is indeed a good marketing strategy to give out free crypto. People are talking about it. What I read about it is that it is similar to IOTA, and when I made a transaction I was very surprised how fast it is!
Right I can't send anything though, which is not a good sign for world adoption. But at the same time byteball has gained a new audience and will get this feedback to improve their project.
EDIT: Awesome I just see below that you are using @steempress-io ;)
