I'd like to add that this "power" is very valuable. If u forge the next block u decide what orders to include into it. And this decision will change the market.
Actually this is something that concerns me far more than the initial distribution or the PoS reward for forging.
If AE bid/ask tx's can be arbitrarily included or not in a block then I can see a lot of manipulation occurring in this part of the system (another reason that I am not really hooked on the whole AE thing).
You can;t just arbitrarily block inclusion into blocks...the only way is if someone one out bids you in tx fee....and if they do you can wait for the next block which can be only the next second.
or am I missing something.
