bcnext or whatever the name of the initial distributor was is as unknown as satoshi - I doubt this will be an issue in the future.

anyway I think that Proof of Stake is great for blockchain application other than currency - I'm not a friend of Daniel Larimer but his argument not to overpay security and his approach to make blockchain technology profitable is worth mentioning.

for currencies it is more useful if there is another way to get them as to buy them - we can argue if that is or is not the case for bitcoin
