Frankly, we should be using the 10 mil for as many required expenses as possible. Isn't there some uncertainty of what will happen to those unclaimed funds if a consensus hasn't been met by the community by april, (says CfB?) So why dont we just come to agreement one bit at a time and see whats left when april or whenever comes.
On the 3rd of April
I'll send the unclaimed coins to the genesis block. U should come to a consensus by that time, if u need this money.
Let me say "NO" very loudly. NO!
Burning a very big pile of money is not a good idea. I will cry.....
I would like to see the unclaimed coins used for something useful, so my first 3 ideas are:
(selfish idea)
Distribute the coins into the NXT community. There are lots of guys, like me ,who have given NXT a lot of support over the last couple of months but are not exactly NXT-rich. 10 mill could make a lot of NXTers very happy. Especially me.....
(non-selfish idea)
Give it to charity. Just think of the publicity....crypto-anarchists give away a million dollars!
(good for the future idea)
My personal favourite: Get the remainder of the unclaimed coins forging, and use that forging income to help fund a carbon-offset program to make NXT very, very green. Again, much publicity, much love!
I'm going to do some more thinking about the carbon-offset idea today, so don't debate it yet.
I've posted some very rough numbers last night, and I should be able to have a fairly complete proposal in a couple of days.
Could someone give me estimates of the forging income from 10 megaNXT, both now and in a years time?
EDIT: And, yeah, I'm in favor of releasing 0.25 megaNXT for the Feb marketing.
