Tbh, I don't think it's possible to have fair emission with proof of work but it's the best we've got for now, mining farms jump on any new coin as it can be extremely profitable but they usually sell them on quickly and anyone there to buy them can become a large holder, etc, etc. There's no real end to it and even if we could find a magical formula for fair distribution it wouldn't stay fair for long, that's just one of those unfortunate facts of life :/

Different distribution methods are coming out though, Dashes incentivisation of second tier services (instant transactions, privacy, etc) and development funding are an example of that, there will probably be very little space for coins that act as a commodity so evolution of distribution will likely be a key area and I think Dash can afford to experiment in that area, incentivising development and advanced features has worked extremely well so far and there's always room for improvement.



EDIT @The Pharmacist, I got rightly pissed off with the trolling on BCT once, deleted all my posts and swore never to bring my keyboard here again... ok, that didn't work too well but I'd been around a long time and the low post count didn't seem to effect the ranking thing, just the activity
