Regarding the news that in Not Pixel, only those with a balance of more than 100k PX will receive drops. Although I meet this criterion from all my accounts, I am not satisfied, just like you. I understand that this has already caused a lot of outrage in the community, and when those who do not accumulate 100k PX by the end of mining are reset, the dissatisfaction will only increase. This is bad. From the very beginning, the philosophy of Notcoin was that everyone should remain in the black. Participate in the project, complete tasks, develop the ecosystem - get rewarded. In this case, a huge number of honest players have the chance to end up with nothing. This obviously cannot be called a plus.
Of course, such a decision also brings many advantages. Firstly, the developers were able to easily filter out all multi-account users, Indians, and other uninterested parties in the project. Secondly, the problem of large emissions is now completely resolved. The tokens of all people who do not reach a balance of 100k will be burned. And as you can understand, there are many such people. Lower emission means a higher price on the listing. Now donors will definitely be in a noticeable profit. Those who invested a lot of money during Halloween discounts will most likely be able to break even or even double their investment.
That is, there are certainly some advantages to this. Objectively, it cannot be said that drops will be given exclusively to donors, as it was, for example, in Catizen. There, players who did not invest money in the game had no chance of earning anything. In Pixel, however, making 100k is possible without donations and referrals; I can say this from my own experience. But does this mean that all people who did not have the opportunity to play so actively should be cut off? Of course not. I do not support such a decision and believe that it will negatively affect the further development of the token. Ideally, mining should have been closed on November 15 and not a day later. Then the token's emission would have been small, and both regular players and donors would have been in profit. But the developers decided to extend mining to collect even more money. Now, for some rehabilitation in the eyes of the community, they need to not only create substantial liquidity but also, ideally, buy back the token well, to pump the coin to a capitalization of millions up to 500.
Now regarding what to do for players who do not yet have those 100k. Firstly, I will say that those who currently have 60+ thousand have a 99% chance of reaching the required amount. Just 20 minutes ago, it became known that a total of 50 billion PX will be distributed over 10 rounds of the tournament, which is a colossal sum. While I write this, I received another notification that mining will be extended until December 1-3. You just need to push harder and play more actively. In each round, you need to paint the most popular stencils to progress as far as possible. But if you want to play it safe and donate, it's best to do this right now, so you have some time to earn passive income from the painted pixels. If your energy is maxed out, it is most profitable to buy energy restoration. Of course, then you'll have to draw pixels manually and it will take a long time, but you will spend less money. You can take dynamite and just spam it across the canvas, but that will cost you twice as much. You decide for yourself what’s best for you.
I also want to say that even if you have very few tokens, around 20-30 thousand, it still makes sense to participate in the tournament. At the very least, on the first day, to see how much can actually be earned from this. I do not rule out the possibility that the minimum balance for receiving drops may be lowered. But it's not worth hoping for that. Of course, with this situation, if possible, you should donate. Right now it's already very unprofitable, but if you reach the necessary minimum amount, you will at least come out ahead. If you don't reach it, then you won't earn anything, and your efforts will be in vain. Decide for yourself.
