I was looking at the block explorer recently and what I see is a handful of wallets with tens of thousands of transactions. As I understand these are the wallets which were staking from 2014 when no-one was even thinking about dividends. Considering how much electricity those people burned for these years to keep the blockchain secure I would give those wallets some preferable conversation rate if I were you. That would kill couple or rabbits with one stone. I am pretty sure you have a lot of those stakers complaining now, plus that would show future investors the team is actually care about long time commitment. Which ever number of stakes you choose does not matter (for me at least, I've got only handful), just choose how many wallets you want to reward and get that stake number. In the big picture those would not matter.
Let us know what you think of that.
Looks like entire "team" is ignoring your question. I don't think they would do anything like that, in the end this would lead to much less BTC for the project I guess.
If those addresses are constantly making transactions, they are probably part of Iguana or MultiGateway.
Giving special benefits to some addresses would not be seen desirable to some investors. We want to keep this simple.
Not necessarily. I am personally have dedicated laptop with BTCD node running for more then two years now. It was turned off only for a week 1.5 years ago. And yes, there are thousands of staked transactions in it.
Please do not ask me how do I feel about

Because it would be seen desirable to some other investors.
P.S. I must say though, it looks like community have zero voice here. I see nothing changed on the future plans in 6 days. Everything was decided for us. We will go where they want us to go. What other options do we have? (besides sitting on a bunch of soon-to-be useless BTCDs or selling for 1/2 price it will probably be in 3 months). James, you were the biggest "free market", "financial freedom" person(s) I have seen for awhile. Now this, a dictatorship.

That could have being the best option as JL says, but at this very moment I am inclined to exit my entire BTCD-KMD position after KMD is on the exchange.
I do feel this all fundraising thing could have being handled much better without touching BTCD price or high hopes people had for it.
And yes, yes, I can sell if I want to. Thank you.
