WOW!

I think I want more NEM now.

You ruined my idea there
I was going to suggest we tell people if x people make x transactions ont he testnet we'd post a picture of the "girl infront of the blackboard" showing her face (ofc if she would have been cool with it...i guess she was)

As I said before, I think people totally miss the point with the equality/fairness discussion. NEM has only sought to offer equality in opportunity but not in outcome. In fact NEM creates an incentive for smart, high productivity people to join, take risks, make significant contributions and get rewarded. Beside the dev team, everybody has received one stake and anybody can prove important to the project by contributing and as a result get rewarded. So beyond initial distribution, contribution and the free market will decide with how many stakes we end up. NEM is not communism, NEM is a meritocracy with equal chances offered to its stakeholders at the beginning. However, we will be responsible for our outcomes, and I'm sure, as this is natural, they will not be equal.

P.S. Remember the Marshmallow test.

Although i agree, in the end the NEM distribution is still plenty adequate in my eyes - sockpuppets or not. I don't think anything released thus far is comparable.

In the end, despite even the most honest and thorough intentions, socks and greed will always prevail. Wealth always accumulates into the hands of the few, often because they're the most determined to obtain it. I think it's just a symptom of human nature; we can hardly prevent this.

It's the thought that counts once everything is said and done, and this alone is worthy of merit. NEM's distribution has been the best i've seen so far. 26 stakes by one holder is disheartening, yes, but compared to the IPO of things like NXT, they still won't have anywhere near as much influence as what one of their initial stakeholders do. I think it was determined they'd need 100 stakes or more to have a similar impact.

In fact this is what makes Bitcoins distribution so admirable, at least in the early days. On release, anyone with a PC could mine. But now people have access to ASIC's and greed has already set in and made people buy GPU farms, any PoW coin release is never going to see a distribution like Bitcoins ever again. Ironically, it's this centralization of mining power that also poses a threat to the entire PoW model (51% attack). It would also explain sentiments such as this: http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/2a2on3/soooooo_what_the_hell_is_happening_with_this/

It's why i see coins like NEM (And yes, even NXT) an unmissable alternative.

Rafle is a great idea, I think one click install should be available first though. If we want to attract users outside of BTT, we need to make sure it's as easy to install as any other mainstream app.

Haha thanks

Il write a plan for the raffle in a while, still on the go. Think it nerds to stick to btt for the mean time. Best way to ensure loads of sock puppets aren't used across various platforms. We could use all other media to promote it though.
