It's not conclusive by all means but the mintr.org explorer does list the Top100 EMC accounts at
https://emercoin.mintr.org/top You can see there are a few large accounts. But I think this kind of distribution is fairly typical of almost every coin, including Bitcoin. Actually, I don't think the dev team mined as many as they would have liked. If I recall, it was months until their mining pool has any decent hash rate.
The emc community has been very generous, distributing emc through folding@home, various bounties, and multiple giveaways and faucets over the
two years since release.
What's more is that that if you don't like the distribution then you can invest in another coin. But even then, you can still use EMC's services, such as decentralized domains, for only a few cents.
Personally, I'm hoping to see emc community grow and develop a thriving community of users and contributors. For instance, it would be great to see more developers working on code contributions, to improve on the security and functionality of the emc client. And I hope some new initiatives will be set up that reward such contributions. That's just what I would like to see.
Your words are well received Messy, especially regarding growing a thriving, vibrant community for Emercoin. This is a focus of mine this year as we transition into a top digital currency and blockchain platform. One area we do want to encourage involvement in is from developers who can add to the EMC blockchain. We have many services and this has opened up opportunities to improve upon those services or add supporting services.
Having a core community that is involved in various social and developmental projects is a key driver of success in 2016 for Emercoin and I encourage all of you to jump in and offer whatever services, talents and ideas you may have. Now is the time, so let's work together and create a culture here at Emercoin.
