I was also thinking about a coin with an automated air drop (the preliminary success of
Auroracoin seems to indicate that Airdrops are actually a good thing).
Each wallet that at a given time has X coins in it, will receive a 3*X air drop. Creates instant interest
in mining (and possibly buying) some coins to get several wallets with the given minimum.
Repeat this cycle every 3 months, upping the next minimum coin requirement to X' = 5 X.
This leaves a 1*X coin gap per wallet until the next air drop, requiring more mining (or buying)
to keep up.
It's kind of a proof of stake system with a continued motivation for mining or buying.
Note that the airdrops are NOT filled from pre-mine, but rather as PoS transactions.
Some inflation is built in, however it should not be a problem if the number of users of the coin
grows at about the same rate.

How is this different from the current PoS systems like for Blackcoin or Mintcoin when it goes 100% PoS? People generate coins through "minting" instead of "mining" By keeping coins in your wallet, you get coins generated randomly as interest. It keeps the incentive to hold onto the coins and the limited supply keeps the coins valuable. No need to spend any power on hashing to generate coins.
