We have been considering moving away from a pure-POS forging mechanism and creating a hybrid POS/proof-of-network (PON) forging scheme that will better reward the people running NEM nodes since each node adds value and redundancy to the NEM network.

Hello.

This is good as it may facilitate mass adoption because people
could just join NEM by running a client without buying coins and earn some fees
by helping the network.
I would suggest you to check the concept of timekoin at http://timekoin.org/
which uses similar concept.

The user earn coins by running a node.
The difference is that timekoin has an infinite number
of coins that can be generated and the there are no fees i think.
Every node is allowed to generate a coin in random time frame.
More time the node is online the more chances to generate coins it has.

I think this would be worth investigating how partially port this concept to NEM
that part of the fees goes to
nodes depending on the time spent securing the network.

I see NXT as pure POS coin has problems of distribution because of the sudden exponential price rise
people won't buy the coin because and because it requires big amounts of NXT to forge something as
the number of transaction i currently low.

I think that with the concept above this scenario can be avoided.

Could there be a small "lucky" part where a part of the transaction fee goes into a pot and once in a while the pot is given to some random wallet?
