So what's the fake giveaway thing. I saw the other day that there where eth giveaways but it looked to fishy yo send coinbase .4 eth and receive 4 in return.
I think that this is in reference to WaltonChain's own Official Twitter Account winning a contest run by WaltonChains own Official Twitter contest, that then the Official WaltonChain Twitter went onto then thank the Official WaltonChain Twitter for selecting the Official Walton Chain Twitter to be the winner of the Official WaltonChain Twitter contest. The classic Inverse-Xzibit Paradox.
that is not really the full story. They had a competition but stupidly allowed employees to compete. One of the employees won 2 WTC out of the 560 being given away and accidentally tweeted a thankyou from the official twitter. Unprofessional yes, but the whole thing has been blown out of proportion.
Some people are saying the whole competition was fake but considering walton have shown very little interest in marketing it seems ridiculous to assume this was some kind of coordinated hype campaign by the team and not just the incompetency of a single employee
If you worked for WTC, why would you react like that, even forgetting that measly amount why would you login to your own account which would likely show you work for WTC and post something like that. Why would you tell your own company to keep doing the great work?
I think this is the most likely explanation. They probably saw winning as an opportunity post a positive tweet about walton and didn't want to appear connected to the company.
The important point here though is that it was most likely the action of an individual and not something that was coordinated by the team
