Leased forging would solve all that.

Personally, I don't feel guilty for not forging. I own ~12k Nxt. I'm a poor shibe, could only afford to buy into 4.3k of it (at~250USD), the rest I received through helping out around here (thanks again everyone!). And if all I can afford is that amount, I definitely can't afford to run a public node, protect it against DDoS, upload lots of data, keep everything running, etc, regardless of any social expectation/ostracism. I'd be perfectly happy to lease my forging power though (but not actually send the nxt). Let someone who runs a service using Nxt and who can afford to do all the above forge in my stead. Personally, I'm happy to subsidize them a little by letting them keep my (likely small) forging gains. Or maybe, as Nxt develops, it'll be the other way round, they'll want to compete for my Nxt forging power and offer me incentives for doing so.

I do not think that Leased Forging is a good idea. We do not need pools to achieve fair fee distribution. Have a look at Shared Forging instead.
This approach uses less resources and no pools need to be controlled. I think it is a much sleeker way to solve the problem.

"Shared Forging" sounds to me much more better then "Leased Forging" too. Would it be possible "Share Forging" to thousands of accounts or more?

Today's forging person with small NXT amount will wait 50 years to see forged block.
Shared Forging person will see progress every day or week and get 0.001 NXT and not 20 NXT every 50 years.

In case we don't want to use forging to earn money then we should stop promote it in that way. Todays forging / earning situation is disappointment for new people. And then they will talk bad about Nxt.

We will have many coins that work on top of NXT, all the people with "miners mentality" will be able to mine these coins. Forging is a civic duty, part of being in the NXT community. If you get a few NXT, its a nice bonus, but that is not the reason for forging.
