The possible negative backlash can cause probs to NEM image.
Also the positive feedback is possible (like psybits wrote): if some poor guy finds from his old computer the info to claim the stake.
If it is possible to reserve a month extra time to claim the stake after the launch, then what does it require more to reserve a year?
Is it really so hard to understand that we'd like to get this over with and work on more important things ?
Does it cause more risks or does it bring just more work to nem dev team?
It's more work and for the time those funds just sit there unused when they could be put to good use.
Are the names of already claimed public? Must it be public or can it be secret... In that way it could make the stealing of an unclaimed stake more difficult.
