Auroracoin showed how it can be done, although they ultimately failed for a couple of reasons, the concept is good. Maybe in a decade from now a similar thing will be done with a Bitcoin successor, who knows.
NEM is the best with the distribution concept. Great team too. The next big thing.
I have to hand it to NEM. Their distribution concept is novel by any definition. Whether or not it has much success, we'll have to find out.
Any coin that focuses on fair distribution or any type of gimmicky feature will sooner or later fail. You can not innovate based on one feature that has no worth or value in the real world. only a handful of broke folks ever complain about unfair disitribution cuz they live in a world of "scarcity". if u live in a world with an "abundance" mindset. u don't pay attention to nonsense such as unfair distribution.
a coin can not succeed when it attempts to focus on just one feature. the entire coin, network, etc has to be innovative.
We might not hear from NEM by next year.
