Only about a gorillion puppet accounts. Seems fair enough.

So true. They cry about NXT, and here seems that someone is going to get >50% coins with puppet accounts. Sounds legit...

we should try to pprevent this somehow - unfortunately I noticed now bitcointalk enables everyone to post anything right from the beginning. But if we close the thread somehow for people who has less than X (eg 30) posts at first, some people could be unhappy and at second in long term it will not help much.
we should make an obligation to fullfill something funny, like make a viral video on youtube about coin etc.

Why don't you lead the way and do a funny video I mean you shouldn't be exempt just because you already happen to be the user of a forum. Which is ultimately what you are saying.

My coment was nothing against you or someone with a few posts. I might wrote it not precisely,
In the past newcomers could join discussion threads after they wrote some amount of posts in newbie section and also frequency of posting was restricted (but of course I never thought it could work well against spamming so I enjoy new rules)
I wanted to point out on fact that coin should be distributed (almost) free or for low price due to already mentioned reasons but in order to prevent somebody from hoarding 90% we should connect it on some timeconsuming activities like marketing, writing articles in magazines, viral videos etc

If I find some time I make a video or some viral but I would have to be in a right mood, I am not able to say myself, today at noon you must come with something funny and shoot a viral video about coin called NEM.
It is not like this.
Sure I want to market this coin, I become an investor today

My take on the fake accounts "issue":

To gain a 1% share of NXT during ipo:
-Send .22btc from one account

To gain a 1% share of NEM during ipo:
- create 40 accounts
- You have to be actively logged in to each new account for 4+ hours before you can post in the NEM thread. This means 4x40 = 160 hours of login time
- send .4 btc-1 btc OR promote NEM in 40 different places

It's obviously significantly harder and more expensive for someone to gain a 1% share of NEM, compared to NXT

NEM launch is fairer than NXT launch.
- Some people gained a 4.5% share of NXT by sending 1btc at launch

- I highly doubt anyone will create the 180 accounts necessary to gain a 4.5% share of NEM
