I am working on a coin that gives the same rewards to all the miners, so it wont be attractive to any of the big farm guys. I will probably have to enforce a limit of one account per IP address though, so somebody who can get a bunch of IP addresses would be able to mine more.
Would that be OK?

P.S. There wont be any presale, just a few percent (combined) of mined output to founder, pool fee, bounties and donation. Nobody will have a large amount of coins
You moron.
Calling James a moron is definitely the most moronic thing I've read this month.
@James - keeping a % of work for community fund sounds pretty good for a coin with balanced PoW shares. The problem is enforcing the one account limit, even per IP there's some trouble ahead once you consider dynamic addresses, shared IPs, proxies and whatnot. It doesn't sound compatible with anonimity, you would need some positive ID (or cellphone number, and even then...) and heuristics.
It's an interesting question, though.
dynamic address is fine, the restriction would be one IP address per NXT acct per block
People sharing IP would be restricted, but not sure how common that is for people who dont have giant server farms
Maybe a lot of the big traffic is from sysadmins at large corporate offices who use the entire network during off hours. We probably dont want to encourage that sort of thing
Certainly no need for IDs, if someone can get a bunch of IP addresses and computers on those IP addresses, then he is helping the network, so probably deserves more coins?
