The solution is to reduce the number of coins. Give 25% to developers, hold 5% for people who might claim later, and 1 million each for all legit users.

As I understand it, the 25% was agreed. It seems sensible to stick to this.

I don't recall the 25% being a a condition when I joined, so I already feel the stakes have been diluted. But maybe my bad, I swallowed that. Having such a high percentage out of circulation for 'unconventional marketing', 'mobile app' etc sounds more like mercenary devs/marketers will be producing what is needed for bounties and dumping for payment. Which is ok and expected to an extent, but not when those devs/marketers who want to get paid for their efforts are potentially as big a group as those that are holding NEM. There will be a huge imbalance.

I haven't seen any reason why the 'original' plan of 75% to stakeholders and 25% to devs/marketing/etc. can't be carried through ("we can't/won't" seems to be the current response). I can understand why 65% of the stakes not being distributed can seem like it will give NEM devs security in the future, but it is more likely that it will depress the price and make you wish you had limited this proportion to 25%.
