whatever model we choose - I suggest we try to run it on top of NXT via AM; this architecture is BCNext's actual goal for NXT. CfB has stated he would consult for free for someone attempting this
Cfb should join (help) NEM since he is one of the early stakeholder (check the list). But NEM would not restrict itself to be a NXT's AM (arbitrary message).
Why not issue honorary stake in NEM to people who deserve it and/or could potentially be helpful? I think we should give BCNext some stakes in NEM because NEM probably wouldn't exist without him. Regardless of what he chooses to do with it, he deserves it and if he decided to be supportive of NEM that would be a very good thing.
Better for people who are able to contribute to have stake then someone who bought a stake in NEM for their Grandma who's not even really interested. I don't know that one stake for CfB would be enough incentive. People like to see those who work hard, take risks, and contribute to be rewarded. Of course probably no distribution is perfect.
Did you see NXT honarary stakes issued for Satoshi Nakamoto, not accounting for authors of multiple crypto class codes bcnext took from ? Open source community is all about borrowing ideas, codes and building upon each others works. That type of progress keeps on going for the benefit of mandkind.
Not that I think bcnext not deserving some NEM, but he could buy in too given 50 million nxt stack he is sitting on.
