I know Nem like Nxt is designed to have have no miners, but short term one to four month mining (that has nothing to do with Nem protocol itself) could have been used for wider and more fair distribution.
Basically, lets say 50% are distributed to stakeholders and the rest are mined (like short 2 month mining period).
That would result in much wider and fairer distribution.
I don't think so.
In my case ( just as an example) mining would be impossible. My notebook is as old as a granny and I like the idea of forging without having big high-end hardware.
Furthermore NEM is purely POS/POI not POW.
That's fine for you, as you already bought shares, but mining is essential for wider distribution.
I think it's time now to seriously consider 2 month mining period for 50% of coins distribution. That will attract much different audience and result in much wider distribution.
