I was browsing the NXT thread which I learned about after someone pointed out how to get a stake in NEM. In the NXT thread is a guy who has all the stats on those who forge. The distribution really isn't that wide. It drives home the complaint about NXT being true. (A few large stakeholders) So now we have guys showing up on here trying to discredit NEM by putting it under the same umbrella as NXT. It makes perfect sense as NEM is probably the biggest threat to NXT at the moment from what I see.

L-O-L internet.

We did an analysis about two months ago of the NXT forging fee distribution:

I did a quick analysis on the distribution of forging fees. It looks like 95% of fees are going to accounts of at least 10M. So, there's really no incentive for anyone with less than 10M to forge. I think we can do better.

NXT
Total Fees 766363
Blocks 56322
Fee/Block 13.61

10000 8478 1.11%
100000 13751 0.69%
1000000 28774 1.96%
10000000 366177 44.03%
100000000 761813 51.63%
1000000000 766363 0.59%

One more table showing that only 161 (~0.7%) accounts made at least 100 NXT in forging fees.

Total Fees # Accounts
1 621
10 351
100 161
1000 54
10000 13
100000 1
1000000 0

Just out of curiosity, could you do the same for NEM after they have been live for 4 months?
It would be very interesting to see the development of the stakes.

My guess would be that after a few months you will see a majority of small stakes and a few very large ones.
People with BTC to spare can gain very quick in the first few months.
Most people will sell 50%+ in the first few days/weeks during peaks and cash out. After this period you will see a low and that's where you can get big.

It's the same in every crypto.
