Thanks for your thoughtful suggestion. Stay tuned for a big update ahead. Many of your concerns would be addressed. Also read my earlier posts for my view on multiple account issues.

Can I make a few suggestions?
Its not about being selfish but I wouldnt have the IPO going too long or too many members. OK the NXT IPO was unfair on many levels but if you continue on a few things are bound to happen.
1. Dilution, eventually it won't be that exciting to be involved. Here's you cookie.
2. With time people will start making multiple accounts, i'm tempted myself but don't want to if I know the IPO doesn't go crazy and everyone involved will get a nice amount.
3. You can't give the coin to everyone, if you did the IPO for 10 years somone would find out a day after and feel pissed.
4. Without a number of people feeling they have quite a nice amount that makes it worth their time and energy investing in building NEM you won't get the developing zeal NXT gets.
Can I suggest a CAP even if its a big one like 5,000 people, like I said if it becomes too diluted people will make multiple accounts and then whats fair to those who want to play by the rules and only use one legitimate account.
The CAP could also be an amount of NEM roughly per person, say 500,000 or even 1,000,000. Not greedy but enough to make people feel they did well and not feel so bitter they missed out on NXT. If everyone has 50,000-100,000 in their account I would expect very little fanfare and excitment they couldnt get with any other early alt coin.
So to me the fairness is communicating the IPO so people who really want in can rush to come in a few weeks but just not forever to the point you get some random, oh well maybe worth it or scammers making tonnes of accounts. Its clear by the amount of first posters already that this is happening.
This might piss people off but how about have a minimum substatial post count, if they are genuine newbies then 10-20 posts isn't gonna hurt but somone trying to quickly making new accounts has quite a hurdle to set up an account which is pretty easy but making posts is time consuming.I mean if you want fairness and not scammers???
I think fairness if a middle ground between NXT and dillution where no one really benefits...
What do you think?
