If the sock puppets were clever and greedy enough to signup for multiple stakes, then they will do the same in the NEM waiting list.

The new people wanting to join NEM should have additional requirements. Only those that will be beneficial to the NEM community should be offered a full stake. This may not be practical, but here is my thoughts.

Keep a majority of the refunded NEM stakes in escrow. Once the waiting list is closed, for a full buy-in price they can join NEM. By default, they will each receive 1/10th of a stake. If they join the NEM facebook page, they will receive another 10% of a stake. To receive the remaining 80% of a stake, they will need to demonstrate how they helped promote NEM in some way, such as posting a NEM article on a major social platform, donating their NEM, introducing others to NEM, etc. They will have 6 months to do something for NEM, afterwards they forfeit their claim and the remaining NEM will be donated to our development and marketing funds. This should motivate them.

Also, we should set aside several stakes, later to be given to influential people and individuals that are highly connected, like ones with popular blogs/websites/youtube channels.

i like you idea!

perhaps keep some stakes for long term bounties!

like first twitter page to reach x amount of follows by 2015.. by 2015 that stake will be worth allot and people will work their asses off to try and get it! same goes for wallets! stake to dev that creates a the first wallet to have 250,000 unique wallet downloads! first major online retailer to accept nem.

this one would be good! first gold bullion in uk, usa or china to trade gold assets on AE. point of it is.. is people can buy gold with credit card online, by phone or walk in with cash.. they give nem address.. gold assets get assigned to nem acc. then you can trade your gold assets for crypto's!

stake for first company worth 1 million+ to ipo on nem AE.. at first no one will care about this.. but if nem goes up allot in value.. that stake will be worth a fortune and will be a very large incentive to companies!

also a stake for the first multipool to reach a particular total amount of hashes per min/hour/day or what ever! not just for the first multipool.. thats too easy! make it so they have to attract allot of people to the pool before getting the stake!

Excellent! We need to establish more of these bounties. I hope utopianfuture implements your ideas.
