On my checklist:
1. Scrypt Jane POW (to avoid botnet armies) and maybe a tiny little POS to avoid 51% attacks
2. Widescale adoption - auroracoin type distribution
3. Anonymity protocol built in if possible
4. Would be excellent if someone could just build exchanges into the mining pools itself to allow miners to directly sell to the public in a distributed fashion
5. Competent devs to promote community awareness, develop wallets and merchant tools - plus capacity to properly check id cards to avoid fraud when airdropping coins
6. Kimoto Gravity Well
7. Premine but only for national distribution
Great tips! I especially like the idea of an exchange built into the mining pool.
