Bitcoin's distribution is far worse than, say, Nxt's. It makes no sense to adopt it for a new coin.
This is very wrong as > 50% of NXT is owned by anonymous accounts all created at the time of the IPO (so most likely either one individual or a small group). And in PoS it is not *hash power* but ownership % that *controls*.
You can't *overlook the importance of the initial distribution* if you are seriously going to suggest PoS and why would anyone who has bought, mined or earned BTC want to be "left out" because they didn't jump into some IPO (the reason why I think Peter R's idea is better than any other so far suggested).
But initial distribution is irrelevant to the topic at hand, I'm discussing fading out PoW for Bitcoin, it does not need initial distribution or re-distribution.
