I have to second Tony here; cryptox has worked excellent for me everytime I've used the site.
It has sort of a unique design but once you get used to it it's great; I love for example how you add an address for each coin and just select it to do a transfer. No need to double check the address every time. Many little things like that, also I actually really enjoy the sounds when your order has gone through or deposit has been confirmed. I can have another window open and just wait for the sound to check what has happened. Very user friendly. 

IMO Tony has a solid distribution scheme going on here. There's zero room for interpretation; x btc will grant you y bytes. Simple to understand and equal for everyone.

Less complexity = less room to question the fairness.
 
With your idea for example, while perhaps logical, people would first complain about Tony changing his mind. Changing conditions in the middle of the distribution is never optimal and easily leads to resentment. People would be annoyed that all of sudden you'd have to start splitting up your BTC to get as much as before. Also since it's not an actually hinderance but rather an extra layer of inconvenience it'll be viewed as just that. People would also call out the the move for being unfair; they'll say they didn't have time to do the splits, that they forgot or that they missed the sudden rule change. Tony would have a hard time motivating this decision when people come to him or post in this topic complaining. It'd be quite unnecessary for him to get heat over such a minor tweak in the system.

IMO the only way Tony could have minimized the gap between the ultra rich and the rest would have been to scan the blockchain ONCE. Then we at least wouldn't have the compounded interest issue. But then not nearly enough people would be able to participate. Perhaps only a fraction of the current user base. And one of the strengths of BB will be the size of the community. In fact one of the most interesting and successful crypto projects I've seen (and actually been a part of myself), NEM, started out by giving 2-3k people free stakes. Everyone including myself thought people would just dump everything since the stakes were free (or at most costed very very little for late participants). Well many did dump along the way but since so many participated a very strong and long lasting community was formed.

In the end I think the benefits of forming a large community will overweigh any issue people currently have over the distribution gaps.

As a 100% Ardor investor I wonder how the value will be effected until the upcoming Ignis snapshot. I mean in terms of possible dilution. I think this is more interesting to consider than the value of NXT since I still do think Ardor represents NXT 2.0. Seems to me that Ardor is basically an evolution of the asset/currency system of NXT. It can't do everything NXT can but its children can (afaik)..plus more.

Have to say I think there's been some slight backpedaling going on since this topic was announced. I think this has actually caused some confusion. The title of the topic has changed to be more separated from NXT. It also seemed that Ardor was distributed 1:1 to all NXT holders so no current investor of NXT would feel left out (everyone got a piece of the pie). In light of this I can't help to think that Ardor would benefit if the community would give it full attention instead of possibly splitting it between it and its predecessor (I see no reason to, to be honest).

So if I'd bother to sell some alts in order to link say 5 BTC I'd get 312,5 MB (0.31 GB). This would be currently worth...0.024 BTC (~$24). Correct? Quite a modest amount but perhaps it might be worth it.
