This seems like something that someone from the 'official' team should phone them up and present a way to do this using Bitshares, or at the very least create a detailed post on how to do it in the thread.
I see absolutely no way in how to identifiy and drop to INDIVIDUAL redditors ... they need to either have a pubkey/privkey pair (which they don't) ... or they need to be messaged a "redemption coupon" or similar ..

They couldn't fund a bunch of unregistered private keys, and send them to each active (reddit has a lot of throwaways) account?
To do that you would want to collaborate with reddit (the company) .. and if you do collaborate you can figure out a more easy way. I.e. THEY can create the private key for the sharedrop with the scheme
HASH($username:$passwordhash:$dateofregistration)

Though that has the disadvantage that you need to trust reddit to not redeem the drops

alot of people do. it's reddit who is offering to give away 10% of their stock. they posted on their own asking the best way to go about it, so it seems they're open to collaboration. I think Brian should head on over to that thread and start working some charisma.

 not sure why reddit would make an offer like that then renege.

Ah yes, I wonder if the VOTE Dapp will have that ability?  I seem to remember BM talking about it as if it could have that capability by having people take a 'selfie' with some ID and having it reference a central database instantly or something... not sure, but if that's in the works Reddit should know about it.

I'd have thought creating a user-issued asset is easiest, as it wouldn't be market pegged to anything.
Yep .. think so too .. you just need to
a) figure out a way to actually DROP them on individual redditors
b) pay transaction fees in BTS for the DROP

If they sharedrop on reddit karma the internet will transform instantly overnight

There's a brilliant idea for a new BitAsset

What would be the best way? Make a bitAsset, short it to yourself using btsx paid for with the stock money and airdrop it onto reddit?

I have a BitShares boner just thinking about it.

Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.
