Many people complain about limiting to the "richest" people, why so? in real life the people have more money will be easier to make more than those with less money. It's not really the unfairness.
It's not really unfair? like provable math wise or you mean just average people common sense wise? sometimes you have to see through the eyes of the average person who will reason without doubt that rewarding those that are already super rich with the lions share is not fair at all.
If you wish to start a poll on the main board discussing it and sampling opinion then go ahead. I am certain you will not find many in the alt section will share your views. Since your main initial market will be the altcoin traders then this is the market that is important to you.
This has been discussed MANY time before in the alt main board and the vast majority are very much against new coins being distributed like this.
Without nulling the top 2-5% of BTC wallets you can ensure this will have the "unfair" tag attached to it in the future. It is a major criticism which has been voiced in this thread a great many times already. Why not eliminate this criticism or reduce it and not have to beg the big icos and exchanges to do the right thing. The random snapshots will stop them breaking down their wallets to smaller amounts.
The only thing here is the dev can not be accused of gaming it for his gain especially since unless he is a btc super whale or has agreements with those that control a substantial amount of BTC then he could end up having less than any whales that decide to claim or any exchange that does not play ball. Not sure either of those things is a great scenario. The worst aspect for him really is having other large ICO funds dumping BB on the exchanges to fund rival projects. I mean jl777 saying he will not pocket the money but rather fund komodo with it is fair enough what else could he do other than not claim (if he even said this anyway) but how is that good for BB?
How can you "nulling the top 2-5% of BTC wallets"? If you do so, people can easily split BTCs into different wallets and make the requests, you won't be able to achieve your goal at all.
To your other point, I am sure a lot people when receiving bytes will dump it in exchange. That's why paying in stages like Tony suggested will help (a little). Whether people dump the coin or not depends on their assessment/impression whether the coin has potential or not. That's why a dev roadmap and plan will be helpful. We need to make it a platform with other apps, and develop various things on top of it, when people see the potential of the coin, they won't dump (or at least not as much).
It needs to be random date snapshot else people can circumvent the nulling of the 2-5% top wallets most big players have not heard of BB as yet. Perhaps those top 2-5% are not even bothered with BB but there is no reason not to null them to take out the exchanges and other big ICOs. Anyone have a good counter argument why not to null them would be more interesting rather than going in circles.
The fairness or lack of is not in question of course rewarding those that already have the most with the largest shares is common sense unfair to 99% of people on this board. I would create a poll on the main alt section to verify this statistic I just made up but it will not be far off of that I am sure. If may be possible to bamboozle some people with high level math that is fair... you can try that but I have a feeling in the end it will not wash and a clone will arise without the pariah tag attached to it. Why go to all this work to see others clone and steal your lead because their distributional method was seen as more fair.
Best case just do a steem and admit it's pretty unfair (nothing like as unfair as steem) and see how far it can go without it being dragged down with the unfair is not good nor in the spirit of crypto in general tag. I will claim mine and buy up some cheap coins as those that get given anything for free dump asap. Looks like a great project that could do well. I'm looking forward to it.
