I am generally with you on fairness issue. One measure of civilization is how fair and reasonable it is.
But your sentiment
here is propelled by the same greed that drives all of us including whales.
If you recognize that, you will cease hiding behind elaborate "reasoning" supposedly for universal fairness.
Better world is possible but a knot to untie that world is way bellow sky planes of currency.
Interesting but incorrect in this particular case.
I have worked out that I would probably capture less BB if it went fair launch POW than I would by linking my BTC addresses.
I also do not find my reasoning to be elaborate in this instance. It is there is black and white for anyone to examine.
Sometimes common sense is enough. In this case rewarding the wealthiest with the most and giving the poorest the least is enough. It is just the start in this case there are many levels upon which this fails compared to POW and even ICO.
"fair launch POW" will not be fair at all, it favors people with more hash power thus those with more BTCs (they can buy hash power at places like nicehash). ICOs even worse, it put priority to those who have more BTCs and satisfy first the greedy of the dev, instead of encouraging dev to do a better work. And many garbage coins and promises on the papaer are created this way.
