I think my proposal is bulletproof.
Not really my friend. Who decided small breasts are a disadvantage? If we exclude sailors, which anyway make a minority in crypto world, I am sure most smart and sophisticated people would prefer small breasts. So I say, less points for small breasts!
Now go back to the drawing table and invent an even fairer distribution of nascent anarcho-capitalist currencies. ( LOL! )
Seriously, asking for ultimate fairness in a system fundamentally based on scarcity is beyond discussion.
Good point, lets revise my proposal then. Breast distribution of 20% starts with the smallest stake going to the perfect breasts (two large ripe perky mangoes), stake gets proportionately larger as claimants breasts deviate from the 'ideal' pair, both larger and smaller, I like it!
In all seriousness,
PoW is the best method, but just too wasteful. If you're going to give away coins with possible future value there has to be something of value given in return. It'd be great if the value wasn't restricted to $$ only, as that opens up the distro to the widest possible numbers, but free coins don't work (too easy to game, too much dumping, no community), and ICO's smell bad and attract scammers. Airdropping on BTC holders will 'work', but one day some smart people will devise a really good method of proof of XXXXX that attracts a lot of people, isn't easily gamed, and appears open and reasonably fair. The distro method is really important, but it's still not a priority for coders who lead most projects. The best method for Airdropping hasn't been worked out yet.
no POW isn't best method of distrib for many reasons already cited..do yu know POC (proof of capacity) ? which is more equiatble profitable and useful.
PoW is the least bad method, and I agree that PoC (like BURST) is ok too, both are value neutral and simple to use during the crypto bootstrapping phase where tech experimentation is paramount. Eventually people will devise innovative distro methods that DO include things like values (e.g. compensating disadvantaged people, planting trees, recycling phones, going to church, joining a political party, joining a fan club, signing a petition etc), and they wont be simple, but they WILL have much more potential for mass adoption though. Whenever you include values, and thus emotions, you attract more people. PoW is the best method TODAY, but later on I suspect the dominant coins will be clones of current coins with innovative distributions that 'fire' people up emotionally. Only crypto geeks see the beauty in current coin designs, everyone else needs something more to get excited about, and the best avenue imo will be to attach the distribution to a cause, a movement, subjective 'values' ... but that realm just isn't a concern for tech guys like tonych, and that's totally understandable. That's why a fork of BB with a different distro method is inevitable, and exciting.
