Smartest here- devise a method of fair distribution based upon BTC ownership

[cryptohunter]

For example ... say I launched a new alt. (i am not going to)

I wanted to distribute it fairly as possible based upon a random snapshot I'd taken of the bitcoin wallets that exist.

I don't obviously want to give the vast bulk of the coins to the richest BTC owners... so what's the best way that is reasonably easy to implement.

It does not matter if the math is above my level I will simply be  passing the information to one who will understand.

The key is the random snapshot.

I guess random amount distribution is fairest but from my limited understanding creating something purely random is quite a difficult task.... so what is the best way that can be automated and is reasonably fair.

I guess there is nothing that can be done for now regarding those that have lots of wallets for whatever reason?

Too few of the Population have any thing at all to do with Bitantic to create a truly fair random distribution.

For a truly fair random distribution , you would have to use Social Security Numbers or Birth Certificates would be your best shot.

Yes, I fully agree with you there. I know this won't be an ideal distributional method if zoom out too  much. But just in the context of the crypto community.

However this person is determined to use BTC as a distributional method basis. He is intending to make it proportional to the amount of BTC you own. I was hoping to find a better way that could be seen as far fairer but  that would still be easyish to implement.

Have you seen CLAM? The distribution was based on funded Bitcoin addresses, rather than their absolute balances. Each address which had a balance (and was not dust) on the snapshot date was granted around 4.6 CLAM... doesn't matter whether the address had 0.001 BTC, or 1000 BTC, they all received 4.6 CLAM.

This method does bias the distribution towards wallets which have a lot of funded addresses - such as exchanges, or a service that receives multiple small payments - but it does ensure that an offline wallet with a huge balance won't be granted a disproportionate amount in the initial distribution.

I found this thread because I'm curious to see if any other coins have used the same distribution method since CLAM. Haven't found any yet.
