Re: BYTEBALL: Totally new consensus algorithm + private untraceable payments
Giving the key holders too much power indeed could be bad idea. But holding the funds in a multisig address is a great solution. We may all trust tonych, but the point is - not everyone will trust a single man to keep all the funds. Its easier to trust a group of unrelated people than one person. "Power is a great seducer." 
The funds keepers only need to be honest people with very good reputation, and guarantee the funds will be intact. They should not hold any power on making decisions, or invest or moreover to have some interest.
They just should hold and be responsive. Having those funds secured until distribution will make it easier for the project to attract more investors, and clear up FUD. In any case, though I "hail" no-one, I am sure tonych makes the right decision on this

, I am sure tonych makes the right decision on this Distributing to people (and let those who want out be out) will do the best to the coin. As the coin need to be supported by the people, and the more supporters the better chance it will succeed.
