My thoughts about the unclaimed stakes:

As NEM has already launched in practice via NXT AE, stakes shouldn't be distributed to even wider audience, as this would be very unfair towards people who have bought their stake from NXT AE. The auction of around 150 stakes for BTC can be proceeded with, as this was known or should have been known by the buyers of NEM stake in NXT AE.

As such, I am suggesting that the unclaimed stakes would be distributed between all stakeholders who claim their stake prior the deadline. I remember that it was highlighted that 1 million NEM would be the minimum, therefore there is no barrier to issue more than 1 million NEM per stake. This would also be fair to the stakeholders, and better for the community. I think it's in NEM's best interest to have a strong community. However, I also understand that some of the promotion, developing etc. must be centrally controlled in the beginning, but shouldn't 15% of NEM (+BTC and NXT collected from the auction and registration) be enough for this purpose already?

For the above reasons I would like the developers of NEM to make a decision to distribute the unclaimed stakes between stakeholders. The sooner you decide, the better for NEM, as you would eliminate some of the uncertainty surrounding NEM.

{troll mode on} I guess he has sock puppet accounts an he want to get as much of AE as poosible...

What I meant was that the value of the stake would naturally decrease if the unclaimed ones would be re-distributed. In my opinion that would be unfair for the ones who have bought their stakes from NXT AE as this would be unanticipated move. The auction of the 150 stakes for btc is fair as it was expected and announced _before_ the launch of NEM in NXT AE.

And gimre please don't make such accusations even though I don't have many posts. Writing in a foreign language takes great energy from me, and have chosen to stay as "a reader" on these forums. Also, you can check that I haven't claimed my stake as nxt asset nor have I any plans to do so.

That´s the point.

If you sell them, you just take money from the ones who decided to not sell their stake or even buy more, and put in developers pocket or in a developer fund. And there is already a developer fund.

Please state a decision as soon as possible.

The auction was announced before the Assets on the NXT AE. Therefore everyone knew that some more stakes will be distributed.
Ans stop saying everything goes into devs pocket.

There's no problem about the auction of the 150 stakes for BTC. It was properly announced before the launch of NEM in NXT AE.

The thing is that as NEM has already practically launched on NXT AE, you can't anymore do whatever you like. I can only see two fair (or three) schemes regarding the unclaimed stakes:

- Destroy the unclaimed coins
- Distribute the unclaimed coins equally between stakeholders
- (Distribute the unclaimed coins equally in portions between stakeholders, developers and developing funds)

Just to make sure we are talking about the same subject, I am talking about the stakes that will be left unclaimed after you have finished distributing NEM. I am OK with the auction of the around 150 stakes for BTC.

Destroy the "leftover" coins

I think we should have such a committee not only for the unclaimed stakes but in general. The community is supposed to have more power over what happens after V1.

no need to destroy them, rather make one side happy, than no one.

devs motivated by massive amount of NEM - I like it.

members motivated by bigger amount of NEM - I like it.

No one is motivated - I dont like it.
