I agree with the idea to vote on this - the devs should come up with a few options they are happy with and then let the investors decide.
+1 totally agree with this solution.
Obviously people who already invested will vote to diminish others potential shares to increase their own.
That is counter-intuitive to a fair distribution.
Everything sounds reasonable. My suggestion will be - quit everything except 1 stage investors. It will be honest - really they took a risk. But please do not talk any more about "fair distribution" and such shit. Can be good coin, with successful ipo (it is already an achievement), nothing more nothing less.
Exactly the stupid behavior we should expect when deciding to retroactively change the investment terms. The majority will choose to make changes in their own self interest. Don't claim to be something different than everyone else (specifically Nxt was mentioned) then turn around and do the same thing. NEM has this same problem. Claimed to be egalitarian, but made no effort to actually be egalitarian and
had to change the investment terms a million times on-the-fly. I don't understand why no-one can get this right. Seems like it's the part that gets the least thought beforehand, but argued about the most after the fact.
Now you have a party with a conflict of interest in doing whats best for the distribution (1st stage early bird investors), and you want them to choose/vote on making modifications to the distribution model? lmao.
Sorry but you got it wrong. NEM stakes have never been sold. There is no investment term. To clarify, there was only a call to join a community to build NEM/ Nemcoin.
Sorry, but the moment you require people to send non-trivial amount of wealth in order to receive a stake that's exactly what it is. Yes there were certain specific terms (obviously not thought out well enough). These became investment terms, which changed continuously, the moment you decided to require people send non-trivial amounts of wealth in order to receive a stake. Your statement is just patently incorrect. I don't know whether you just don't like the reality of that or if you actually don't realize it. Either way, doesn't change the fact of the matter.
Read here about association
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_association and read here for an example of cost to join a typical association
http://www.asanet.org/members/cost.cfmI repeat again fee to join and promotional act are condition to join in the NEM community/ association, not to reserve stakes. The community was born with the purpose of building NEM platform, albeit the idea of sharing all the coins equally between all members is already there in the beginning. This type of association, as well as the practice of applying a fee to join in is well defined by law as well as conventional practices.
You are like some others do seem to have a wrong idea of what NEM is and seemingly sent in the money by a mistake. So I would like to offer you a refund given the fact
you did it by a mistake.
I took a lot of times to go around and explain it because it might not be so clear in the beginning, and therefore I do offer refund for anyone who think they joined in by mistake. This is not an investment and if you insist to think so I would like to refund you because obviously NEM is not for you.
if worse comes to worst just combine all three into 1.
(just joking, in case someone new arrives here)
