My two NEMs worth......
With people on a waiting list, giving multiple stakes to a single person seems to be a recipe for disaster. If these people feel so 'precious' about the stake then let them buy them @ market rate once NEM is live. IMO zero involvement in NEM should = zero stake.
Why not make sure people on waiting list get it first, refund the rest and put the stakes left into the auction and whatever funds are gained use them for marketing of NEM.
This will do more for NEM than 5/10/15/20 stakes for someone who says he/she has bough them for someone.
