The historical high score of 251 is here. Let me analyze why, despite the decrease in numbers and the banning of so many accounts, the score has not only remained stable but has actually increased.
First, the existence of br. Firstly, I observed that this coin has a market value of 10 million and a pool of 20 million, plus the fee refund, which means almost everyone can gain from the previously large pool of zk koge with low wear. I jokingly told my friends that with such projects, you don't even need to care about what they did, the fee refund alone is already a form of construction.
Second, the most common levels are still 2+15 and 2+16. If we reverse calculate, 18*15=270-15-15=240, or 17*15=255-15=240 (there's a chance of hitting the second, or the basic score of 3 is also possible). Although only 2 are obtained, if we calculate at 50u, the income is 100u, while the wear, based on brushing br, is only about 45u (a friend just corrected me that roughly 15=3 and 16=6 wear, and it only lasted a few days of activity). Of course, all these can be disregarded. The most crucial point is that if these people do not pick up trash, most are stuck at the 230-240 score line, meaning that there cannot be any airdrops below 240; otherwise, wouldn’t over 70,000 accounts be able to claim them?
Third, the existence of trading competitions. I believe everyone knows that if the trading competition is done well, the wear can basically be recovered. This is why the strong-willed Chinese people appear. The ridiculous threshold of the trading competition is evident; basically, those who brush for 3-5 days are around 300,000, which means they have basically brushed up to the 65,000 level. Their nature is such that if I can earn rewards without loss, or with minimal loss, it’s considered profit, after all, it's free points.
So, currently, there really doesn't seem to be a better solution because so many accounts are stuck at 230-240, which is fixed unless there’s another wave of resignations. As long as there are still 100,000 accounts participating, the score line will inevitably remain above 240.
I hope Binance can come up with another way to consume points, for example, they've earned so much from fees; can they actually take out some real money to support a few hardworking projects like Alpha (let's not mention those like Rex that ran away with the pool)? Buying back and then distributing airdrops wouldn’t create good projects?
Now, it seems that 2+16 might indeed be the optimal solution, but it's truly tasteless.
