I haven't read everything that's been said about the distribution but just to put my two cents in: I would like to retain the faucet in some way.
The reason for this is because I am going to use the micropayments to allow users to view my site with all the ads blocked. It would be great it people who have never heard of RAI could go and get some free coins to do this with, rather than having to go through all the hassle of buying them (which nobody will do - limiting the use of this to people who already own some Mrai).
I know that's a selfish reason for me, but I think the same principle will apply for anybody else who does this on their site / app.
I think DEV wont hear about faucet right now.. he is collecting money right now.. Maybe we could make this coin worthless again.. Lol, maybe. I do find it a bit strange that the guy was happy to give people this coin for free and then a bunch of people came along and complained about that, but they seem to be happy to pay for it instead. Who are all these people who don't like free stuff?

I think 475k Mrai per lot is to much This was the distribution schedule. 2^128 initial, 50% first year, 365 days per year, 10^30 per Mrai. 2^128 / 2 / 365 / 10^30 = 466,140 per day. No, you don't understand. It's to much to sell 475k (0,13% of total coin) to only one person. *137 MIL (remaining) to be distributed the first year. It means that AT BEST 280 investors will hold ALL the coins in circulation by October 2016... Please, please just do an ICO / IPO

I'd like it to be around too, the issue I see is the proposals out there for retaining the faucet would make it almost useless to new users. A 1 or 12 hour timer means we need to wait that long from when the session starts to when the user can first hit the faucet, otherwise someone can drain it simply clearing browser cache and attempting again. The recommendation to just let it empty for the day also means the legion of people who will be pounding it when its filled up will get everything and an average user who arrives and wants to try will always find it empty. Even if we could divide the faucet amount down there's still the situation that people who pay others to click for them will get >95% of everything that comes out of it which is why I'm very confused why this is such a popular wish.

Your using a cookie or something for the timer? Why not log user IP? I know that can still be gamed but there are plenty of faucets around who seem to be able to operate without it being a major issue.

Because some of them are naive and don't understand this problem, and the others are waiting to exploit it as you wrote

Coins always go to those who are wealthy enough to buy them. This is inevitable. The "distribution to human workers" idea was naive. Yes, maybe some percentage can go through the faucet. But more like marketing, not as a way to distribute "fairly".
On the other side longterm distribution can be a good idea. Maybe. Because nobody will feel he "missed the boat". But the price must be set as sharply rising, maybe in "investment" rounds. There should be incentives to hold now. No real coin can exist without speculation

Drops to other coin holders result in value destruction.

Right, the idea on the distribution schedule was a tradeoff between not overly favoring early adopters and finishing at a defined timepoint. Maybe 4 years, 2 years, would be a better idea but blasting it all out in a couple weeks makes little sense.

I think you are confused by earn satoshi from the auctions If not, why not make bids on a like counterparty's address?

I don't get why anyone would even bid in an auction; why would investor think he will sell higher later on, if noone made bid higher than him.
person 1 buys at 100 sat at auction and wants to sell at 120 sat later on person 2 didn't want to pay higher at auction - so why the hell would he pay more now to person 1?

I have no problem letting dev get funds by ICO. BUT please, don't do it by bid auction. which is most destructive way for you to collect money or get fairness in distribution. make ppl think you are fishing ppl by some faucet and actually greedy to collect btc from noobs dreaming getting rich by bid each other.

I suggest people to consider to sell as fast as possibile Mrai because this system works with trust, but is only my suggestion... Feel free to decide.
Yes, you are right.
