The CLAMour voting system looks interesting. Good work!
About the current/future whale diggers, one possibility I haven't heard mentioned would be very simple and would dilute the initial distribution: increase the reward. There's at least a precedent for changing the reward system in Clams.
Maybe I'll make a CLAMour petition to increase the reward from 1 clam per block to, oh, say, 100 clams per block. This would increase the supply by about a million clams a week. Before long the initial distribution would be a relatively small percent of the total supply.
This would likely be terrible for the price. It might push us below 0.001. (<- That's intended as dark humour. I have looked at the price today.)
