Just a quick thought that crossed my mind, what about AFTERMINE?
Over the past couple of months most discussions around alt coins were about the premined and instamined ones and how they all must turn out to be a scam. This made me think about the possibility to do it different in a way the miners might be motivated and the thought of scam could be avoided.
So, why not create a coin (must be technologically possible) that starts fair and is advertised well in advance so pools and miners can setup in a decent and relaxed way, but let them only mine the first 50% in say one year? After that, the last 50% is generated in one block and put into a well prepared trusted account that can distribute the coins to a sensible targeted group? This account can be set up by a group of voted members each overseeing the other. This will also build up suspense around it's release date!
Also, why must coins always be valued by exchange rates? Why not let the coin carry it's value by the way it's used, for instance what if a user that uses it doesn't "pay" for something, but just gets discount on a sale? And why can't some marketing value be the carrier of the rate? So for instance, wallets contain valuable marketing data, like gender, age, location, email. That way stores that for instance accept bitcoin for payment get to give discount trough this coin in exchange of marketingdata? I mean, google gets up to 5$ for a simple and anonymous click! This makes the coins value also a variable, one store might give 0.1 BTC in discount for marketing data (expensive goods) and others only 0.001 (small amounts). It's up to the user to decide where to use them.
Your thoughts?
