What is the Bitshares Airdrop Tool?
It's a recently released multi-platform application which enables anyone to perform airdrops (asset distributions) on multiple Bitshares based blockchains.
So what's the new functionality in v0.2.90?
The Bitshares Airdrop tool now supports custom airdrops!
Up until now, all airdrops have been based on the valid ticket holders, and in-app ticket selection through airdrop calculations.
Now you've got the ability to upload a JSON file containing the following:
[{"id": "1.2.x", "qty": 1, "value": 1000}]
.
It's up to you how you construct this array of airdrop recipients in JSON array format, via external 3rd party apps/scripts, such as:
const fs = require('fs');
const arr = [];
const userQuantity = 6000;
for (let i = 1; i <= userQuantity; i++) {
arr.push({ id: `1.2.${i}`, qty: 1, value: 1 });
}
fs.writeFileSync('./allUserAirdrop.json', JSON.stringify(arr));
This new custom airdrop format enables you to construct basic airdrops which target a far greater quantity of users than the ticket based airdrops; for example here's what 6000 airdrop recipients looks like:
Creating a 1 million user airdrop file results in a 36MB JSON file, and a non-responsive UI, so perhaps we should just avoid rendering the left table once we've got several hundred/thousand airdrop recipients? Food for thought..
I'm finding this is also pushing the bounds of Beet functionality too, so expect some subsequent Beet changes as these high airdrop recipient related issues are tackled.
Anyways, enjoy the new custom airdrop functionality, you're no longer limited to targeting solely valid ticket holders. Good luck to anyone airdropping onto every blockchain account!
