An auction for more development funds and marketing funds smells like greed. Greed for a larger profit than the profit we already made. IMO, this would go against everything that made NEM a valuable idea in the first place.

You have absolutely no idea how much good developers cost, do you?

Valuable ideas are a dime a dozen.

'Common sense' is allocating shares to development of tier 2 features. Common sense is donating your own personal share to charity, or organizing a group of stire takeholders that are like-minded and want to donate 10% of their stake into a pool.

Allocating unassigned shares to charity before an alpha is released is pure lunacy.

I got a perfect idea of what a good developer costs. And IMO, the developers of NEM already deserved all the BTC they got through the IPO, and even more. There is a big BUT though:

Common sense is the developers believing in their product. Protoshares had the developers looking to buy stakes in their own fcking coin. Counterparty had the developers relinquish over 2000 BTC.

Call me a lunatic if you wish.

Allocate the last 10 shares to the Nodeshares initiative, by auction. It will will bring the entire crypto community forward. Including us.
