This whole unclaimed stake nonsense, why can't they just be held for people. At least a year.
Agreed. They should be encrypted and held forever. Just seems like the right thing to do. It is owned by that person and no one should be able to decide what to do with their property and make up the rules as we go along... (Adding a deadline after the fact...)
And who knows if NEM really became massive then it would be great publicity some guy remembering he had a stake years later and becomes a millionaire.
The source of the issue might be some Chinese users who are unable to use Bitcointalk as it's been blocked in China. In fact it's very likely considering the numbers of a Chinese that use this forum.
Agreed
There is a know big problem that the Chinese are blocking bitcointalk.
Imagine how you would feel if down the line your stake was terminated because of this.
are all decisions made by the Developers as per say usual or was the fact that all members would have a say.
Will there be a vote on this delicate matter.
