What to do with unclaimed coins has not yet been decided. One proposal from a few weeks ago that UP made internally was that we use it for trying to get some full-time devs, but nothing is decided completely.
Why not just distribute the coins to all stakeholders equally?
There is plenty of coins left for development -- 10% is 400 million Nem plus all the BTC you will have with the auction and first IPO?
Okay, I will help you out.
Proposal 1: distribute refunded stakes equally to all stakeholders (this has to be original stakeholders because it seems to complicated to do this with NXT assets I think?)
Pros: Easy to understand and all the original stakeholders benefit, not just a few (this is a good point!).
Cons: Doesn't allow new people to enter the community, sockpuppets will also benefit, and there will be less funding for pay for promotion and development, which will also hurt everyone.
Any other arguments that could be added?
Other proposals?
of course not to the stakeholder list.
You can just increase the coins per stake. simple math, simple distribution.
