It is still better not to sieze stakes. Look at those people who bought in BTC early and forgot about if for years. they still have them if they kept the private keys.
I believe everyone heard you loud and clear. BTC case was similar, albeit it had one more step to the problem, i.e. it was a 2 step problem. One gets the BTC, put in the wallet and forget about it until one day in the future. However, who is to be blamed if one loses the key? BTC? No, the person himself or herself. In any case, it is more than likely this person would have lost the key anyway. Really, there is no difference. Only a small minority will ever recover. The world won't care. Like I said, if you attempt to please them all, there are some who will not be pleased.
In the case of NEM it is one step. There is almost a one year's grace for one to claim it (from start of the initiative to after roll out) and if one forgets, it is not as if NEM wasn't fair. After one year if one forgets, the person deserves to lose it anyway. In the end one ends up the same as one who had some BTCs, kept somewhere, but forgotten the key.
Now, please tell the forum here your solution for perpetual validity of a claim. You keep ranting about having them kept in perpetuity but you never tell us how. You assume there are volunteers here who will live forever to serve everyone. Tell us how claims can be made valid in perpetuity taking into consideration:
- Nobody should be entrusted to keep these coins in the long run and forever
- No one is going to be around forever
- BTT accounts are subject to some hackers who will continually try to break into the account and get hold of these tokens.
Have you thought about that before you even want to talk about keeping unclaimed funds in perpetuity? Please enlighten the forum here before we should discuss about what you have been ranting about.
Otherwise, your argument is a waste of everyone's time including your time. It has no action plan even if we agree to it. Don't expect the volunteers to think. They have bigger fish to fry in making NEM work. If you have a strong action plan then table it out for all to consider and agree.
