Sadly you did, there was a freeclaim for all BTC users for the first year of HEX. I think it was 10,000 HEX per BTC.
A lot of BTC freeclaimers made a lot of money,
@nikom court dumped his straight away and missed out on 10,000x gains.
HEX has been largely gatekept by the whole crypto community for 2.5 years now, this is slowly changing with the upcoming launch of pulsechain.
Pulse chain is a PoS fork of ETH, but it is a whole network state fork, meaning any erc20 coins you have will be copied over. For example if you had 1 HEX on eth, you will now have 1 HEX on pulse, this has never been done before and will be very interesting to see how it plays out.
