Post by: Shentist on November 17, 2014, 10:46:13 am

that is technically possible .. a asset is the same as BTS on the blockchain .. BTS has ID:0 while other assets have higher IDs ..
so you can airdrop on bitUSD, bitEUR, bitCNY ....

currently there are no scripts/api calls to directly access these data from the client .. but a script can be written to parse the blocks and figure it out

If the asset is very dispersed, you can only keep a hash of the snapshot on-chain and would have to require all clients to get the data themselves (most likely via a client upgrade like the BTS sharedrop).
