In addition to having bounties, what about a NEM lottery and a NEM scholarship?

Here are two ideas for the NEM marketing department:

Reclaim one of the refunded stakes and use it for a giveaway.
The purpose of the NEM lottery is to attract new users to NEM and will last for 1 year.
For all who join our NEM Facebook page, they will be entered into a lottery. Each week 25,000 NEM will be given away.
1.3M/25K = 52 contests.

Reclaim one of the refunded stakes and use it to start a scholarship. Later, donations would help sustain it.
We could give out several scholarships a year. 1.3 million NEM would provide a new scholarship of about 10,000 NEM
each month for the next 10 years. The applications or essays can be judged once voting is implemented.

I'll have a crowdfunding site up soon, that is a great idea and I look forward to seeing a campaign for it. It doesn't have to rely on refunded stakes, if those stakes are added to the big pool of NEM, then it just means each of us will receive a few more NEM, and you can contribute that NEM to this campaign.
