PMC distribution = 5 hours
Coin2 distributin = 5 days
Nem distribution = 25 days
Nxt distribution = 50 days between September 28 and November 16
Nxt is still most fair thanks to the longest IPO
Except Coin2 was given to 1000 people, and NXT was most certainly not
in terms of distribution within the IPO with less than 100!
it doesn't matter, but a chance was given to 200.000 people on Bitcointalk and they had 2 months for it. Nem was quite fair, but still too short IPO.
Coin2 was limited only to 1000 (sockpuppets). Still PMC was also quite fair thanks to superfast distribution, so there was no time for sockpuppets
Because of the success of NXT, NEM needed only 25 days.
In 25 days there we're more people interested in NEM (~2500 people) than NXT which needed 50 days (73 people).
But the real success will not about the 'Fair' distribution.
It is about what comes next. Innovation, marketing and a good community.
At this moment is NXT the best with those.
Sockpuppets you say? people had to get them through facebook. So I doubt
very much that was a big problem with Coin2!
I just wanted to add to salsacz posts, just because C2 was distributed within 5
days isn't the full story when 1000 people were given them.
It's not just the time but how many people actually received a share.
And I agree Nxt is at the top of the tree. No one here will disagree on that point
with the development and innovation!
I am here to get the raw data about initial distribution. I present it here so others can have constructive comments, if some of my data are wrong.
So C2 is:
Coins were distributed in 5 days to 1000 wallets based on Facebook accounts
- is there anything more to add?
1) It's not quite entirely distributed through FB, at least from the beginning, for a reason, the coin2 in another forum been deleted help consolidated into here..Joel mistaken moved.
2) Even though not fully 100% gone into 1000 selected person, Dev and families keep some plus some greedy folks cheat with multiple wallets, still 600+ reach to other people hands is pretty good numbers. Beside, those not so honest people will more likely dump their C2 for quick profit, I happen to bought it from a few of these short sighted people ( no offend but is true ). It's all about capitalism vs human nature. As old saying, easy comes easy goes, that create an initial dilute distribution to more interesting party, traders and speculators. Totally green way to reach out the market instead megawatts of wasted energy just for the darn coins.
3) You've Blockchain access? If not, source code available out there. You could hire or associate with some know how helps create one to investigate the flow. It would provide you the rough figure on it.
4) I can bet you, Dev will upgrade the servers and continue to progress to make sure C2 prosperity ahead of schedule based on C2 community responses.
The heat is just began.
Criticism is good. However, I can feel yours blend with bitterness in it. Out of jealousy of rapid success of C2 or you didn't get some freebie? I didn't either but willing to bargain with those few greedy bunches with premium 1:1 Doge to C2. While C2 still at basement bargain stealing dirt cheap almost free price, bitching and bitterness wouldn't help you being more happy in a few months but more misery.
My point is, initial distribution to how many people hands is not a concern but rather how important is the amount of coins will flow back into the chains to sustain the supply and demand based on 50 mil coin minus 30% missing in action over the months, perhaps within a year. If only if you able to see the biger picture which I don't expect you'll for the moment.
